Simple Setup
In addition to standard direct-drive mode, each tool configuration can be independently programmed to utilize one of the three available single- parameter ETS modes, simplifying setup:

Ergonomic Mode, with the lowest energy pulses, is ideal for hard joints or when arm, wrist or tool angles are most difficult.

Performance Mode, with medium energy pulses, is the best all-purpose mode.

Productivity Mode, with the highest energy pulses, is the fastest mode. Ideal for soft joints or when high production rates are required.
