Multi-Functional Cordless Drill with Wire Detection

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand into the home appliances market, devices such as smart drills will need to communicate with smartphones using common wireless communication protocols like Bluetooth^® or Wi-Fi.

This energy-efficient, intelligent cordless drill design includes an electric wire-in-wall detection feature, along with additional programmable features such as drilling angle (vertical/horizontal/any angle), RPM limit for plastic materials, torque limit as an alternative to a mechanical switch, distance measurements, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) connection to a smartphone for easy user setup, and optional haptic indication of electric wire detection.

System Benefits​:

• Electric wire-in-wall detection integrated into a removable dust collector increases safety and eliminates the need for additional dedicated tools.
• Indication of horizontal, vertical, or programmable angles removes the need for extra jigs or tools.
• Low-cost Bluetooth LE allows users to comfortably control the drill via a smartphone.
• Brushless motor with precise torque control increases efficiency and power while reducing overall weight.
• Wide-angle observation display (IPS or OLED panel) improves work visibility and enhances the user experience.
