Hilti originated in Liechtenstein, a small country in Europe, and is a niche brand in the industry, not well-known but very professional. It is precisely because of the small size of Liechtenstein that Hilti has had to expand its production lines worldwide, and currently has a total of eight production lines, including one in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China.
Hilti's main customer audience is professionals in the construction industry. Compared with cutting and grinding products, Hilti's strong field is drilling and chiseling power tools, especially Hilti's electric hammer products, which have a good reputation in the industry. At present, there are not many models of angle grinders launched by Hilti in China, and the product quality is high.
Hilti's machines are characterized by their unique selection of materials and excellent workmanship, which makes them extremely durable. The shell is made of fiberglass steel, which basically has no burr feeling. The steel plate used for the gear parts is harder than the usual ones, and it was found that after 40 hours of intensive work, the Hilti gear parts were intact, while the parts of the gears from other brands were cracked.
These special materials make it difficult for Hilti's machines to be counterfeited, but also increase the production cost and maintenance difficulty, so the price of Hilti's angle grinder in the industry belongs to the upper middle level, the unit price of household wired angle grinder is as high as 800 yuan, and the angle grinder with similar overtone parameters is more than 400 yuan. In addition, when the machine breaks down and needs to be repaired, it can only be returned to the factory for repair, and it is difficult to find replacement parts, and the maintenance cycle is long.
The motors of Hilti angle grinders are heavy-duty motors, and because the products mainly serve the construction industry, they need to be able to provide sufficient driving force in the power system. The armor-shaped rotor is wrapped with resin at the front and back, and the copper wire windings of the stator are wrapped with epoxy coating, which can prevent the harm of dust and the heat accumulation of the motor, and has strong insulation and stability. Hilti's motors are equipped with the Smart Power control system, which provides soft-start protection, electronic constant speed and over-temperature overload protection.
In terms of safety, Hilti's entire line of angle grinders contains the ATC active anti-torsion control system, which is essentially an anti-jam rebound protection, which works on the same principle as the electronic safety clutch, but is faster than the electronic safety clutch, the machine's built-in sensors actively sense the uncontrolled machine to rotate vigorously in reverse, and the clutch and motor are quickly and automatically coupled within a second, and then the machine actively stops.
