What does the XR nameplate mean on a DeWalt tool?
The XR Series cordless tools were announced by DeWalt in 2011. What is she like? We will talk about this, as well as what advantages this series has.
What does the abbreviation XR stand for?
During the decade we've been using the XR Series, there have been many, often conflicting, answers. It's time to eliminate these discrepancies. The letters XR are an abbreviation for eXtreme Runtime. What does "extended operating time" mean? As you can see, everything is banally simple.
Is there any difference in the performance of the XR series tool and the regular one?
The idea of creating the XR series was based on the desire to create a tool that is not only resistant to harsh operating conditions, but also “smart”, intellectually charged. Solving this problem required the company's designers to completely rethink the concept of developing a wireless tool. The basis was the ability to control the amount of energy transferred from the XR battery to the electric motor. This made it possible to increase productivity and continuous operation time without recharging. Attention was also paid to protecting the drive and power supply from various types of overloads - overheating, overcharging or excessively deep discharge. That is, all factors that negatively affect the battery-drive connection were taken into account.
What are the advantages of the XR series tool?
Of course, all users want their tools to have increased runtime. But this can only be achieved by maintaining a balance between the spindle load and the amount of energy consumption. Working with the maximum load of the drive, accompanied by overheating of the battery, is not the most fruitful idea.
It is worth noting that the advantage of the XR series lies not only in the fact that it intelligently controls the combination of the energy source and the drive. It is universal; such batteries can be installed on various types of tools - saws, drills, grinders and other devices. If you purchased a DeWalt 18V XR tool, you can use its battery for any other tool in the same series.
Of course, the technology behind the XR series is no longer innovative. But the breadth of the XR tool range is constantly increasing. Due to the fact that the interests and needs of users are put at the forefront, the DeWalt brand has become one of the most popular in the world. And last but not least, thanks to Extreme Runtime technology. A couple of years ago, the FlexVolt XR series began to develop, the appearance of which brought cordless tools to a fundamentally new level in power and performance.
