simplifying operation, and reducing cost.
Some of the compressors are also now equipped with advanced control panels to simplify management and improve efficiency. Six models in this range have either a XC1004 controller or an even more sophisticated XC2003 controller. The basic XC1004 controller introduces an electronic controller for models that otherwise only have gauges. The XC1004 controller allows for an easy, smooth and safe operation while avoiding downtime as service requirements are clearly visualised. The XC2003 controller introduces applications as PACE and ECO-mode. PACE (which stands for Pressure Adjusted Through Cognitive Electronics) allows users to easily select the pressure from a wide range, while the flow adjusts automatically to your application’s need. The XAS 68-12 PACE can handle a pressure range from 5 up to 12 bar: one mobile compressor that can cover a range of applications from paint spraying to drilling.
To help operators revolutionise fuel efficiency, the models that feature the XC2003 controller
now offer a new feature called ECO-mode. The innovative technology helps reduce the cost associated with running compressors on idling mode during downtime, for example, when changing parts in machinery or moving equipment to new locations on the site. Traditionally, while on idling mode, the compressors switch to no-load mode: even though no air is required, the compressors are still running and consuming fuel. However, when ECO-mode is activated, the 8 Series compressors automatically switch from a no-load to unload mode, reducing fuel consumption by a further 50 percent. This translates to significant savings, as fuel consumption typically accounts for around 80 percent of the operating costs of a compressor. Importantly, utilising ECO-mode does not delay productivity. Once the work is ready to resume, the compressor is back up and running in seconds.
Despite their lightweight and compact design, the air compressors are designed to operate reliably in the harshest environments. Atlas
Made in Britain? Scanprobe undeniably is!
Scanprobe’s range of drain cameras have been made in Britain from the very beginning, but 2021 has added some extra weight to that claim, as it has been officially confirmed that we meet the criteria to display the Made in Britain logo.
Scanprobe owner and Managing Director Jon Barry:
“Personally, Iam delighted; Isee a strong quality alignment to products that are truly made in Britain. Sure, due to costs of parts and labour this generally means our products can cost more than those found abroad, but to Scanprobe there is real value in quality. So being able to proudly display this logo alongside our other promotional efforts, it’s another string to our bow. Quality is such a big focal point for us so hopefully this helps that message to come across even more.”
Using the Made in Britain logo on your promotional material is more than just a simple matter of “copy & paste” - gaining authorisation to use the logo requires you to hit their very specific criteria:
1. An overview of your business model and how it fits with the Made in Britain brand.
2. Evidence that your products are made in Great Britain.
3. Evidence that 80% of your value chain is in the UK.
With Brexit now a reality it’s arguably more 70
important in 2021 than it has ever been to promote your company for all the strengths it has to offer, both for your domestic customers and those abroad too. The year has barely begun and there has been a lot made of the problems with goods crossing the channel, so with our products being made in Britain helps to settle any fears over supply to our markets.
Ben Gane, who heads up all of the marketing activity for Scanprobe is equally excited by this confirmation:
“I think it’s great! It’s a standard cliché but a picture speaks a thousand words, and so in this case it’s everything that you might associate with this logo. As Jon has mentioned, there’s quality associated with this logo, stability of supply in these testing political and economic times, and lastly for me, pride. So the fact that through our marketing output Ican get all of these messages across just by using this logo, is fantastic. Honestly, Idon’t know why we didn’t apply for the Made in Britain logo sooner!”

For us, sourcing our components, and undertaking the manufacture of our products not just in the UK but also in our own manufacturing premises is vital. It allows us to maintain a handle on not only the quality of our products, but also our accompanying reputation. At Scanprobe, we’re proud to be made in Britain, and equally proud of everything that comes with this tagline, and this is going to be important as the country navigates the new age of international trade.
Copco’s patented HardHat® canopy protects the compressor against the elements, and its plastic casing is resistant to corrosion and cracks, enabling it to endure tough use on site.
Finally, to further enhance uptime, the compressors have a service interval of 1000 hours and can be serviced in under 60 minutes, without any special tools.
“We wanted to take this opportunity to engineer further efficiencies into this range to help our customers meet the upcoming regulation and improve their operation in the process,” said Rodolfo Reimberg, VP Marketing Portable Compressors and Tools Atlas Copco. “The updated range allows construction managers to comply with Stage V regulations while keeping the known benefits of our 8 Series such as lightweight, integrated generators, and HardHat® PE hood. Additionally, this range gives users better control over their energy consumption, helping them achieve a more cost-efficient, sustainable, and productive way of working.”
