Ergonomic Guidelines

Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines to identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.

• Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.

• Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work task.

  • Adjust for a convenient reach range by determining where parts and tools need to be located to avoid static load.

  • Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.

• Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.

  • When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by lowering the weight of the tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.

  • Take frequent breaks.

  • Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly during operations requiring a degree of force.

• Adjust for a convenient field of vision that requires minimal eye and head movements.

• Use appropriate lighting for the work task.

• Select the appropriate tool for the work task.

• In noisy environments, use ear protection equipment.

• Use high-quality inserted tools and consumables to minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.

• Minimize exposure to reaction forces.

  • When cutting:

    A cut-off wheel can get stuck if the cut-off wheel is bent or not guided properly. Use the correct flange for the cut-off wheel and avoid bending the cut-off wheel during operation.

  • When drilling:

    The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks through. Use support handles if the stall torque is high. The safety standard ISO11148 part 3 recommends using a device to absorb a reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.

  • When using direct-driven screwdrivers or nutrunners:

    Reaction forces depend on the tool settings and joint characteristics. Strength and posture determine the amount of reaction force that an operator can tolerate. Adapt the torque setting to the operator's strength and posture and use a torque arm or reaction bar if the torque is too high.

• In dusty environments, use a dust extraction system or wear a mouth protection mask.

Only tightening programs stored in the IxB Software of the tool can be selected from the EHMI.

Selecting a Tightening Program

Reading a Tightening Result

The tightening result is presented graphically with a result gauge. The gauge is divided into three parts indicating either an OK or NOK tightening. Field colors (red for NOK, green for OK) are only shown at tightening result.

Batch

Batch sequences are used when operators need to perform a series of tightenings in a single job, and can be restricted to only follow a specific order in which the tightenings are performed. Batch sequences consist of one or more batches, and each batch consists of one or more tightenings.

The EHMI can be used to select the batch sequence for the tool. The selection of a batch sequence made on the EHMI overrides whatever task was set for the tool in the IxB Software web user interface.

Selecting a Batch Sequence

Selecting a Batch Control Option

The EHMI can be used to control the progression of the batch sequence.

Depending on the batch sequence parameters, the tool will lock when certain actions are accessed on the EHMI. For example, when the parameter Lock tool on batch sequence complete is set to On, the tool will lock when the batch sequence is aborted.

Reading a Batch Result

The result view will display two rows of indicators, with the top row representing the number of batches in the batch sequence, and the bottom row representing the tightenings in a batch.

Preventing ESD Problems

The components inside the product and controller are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To avoid future malfunction, make sure that service and maintenance is carried out in an ESD approved work environment. The figure below shows an example of an appropriate service work station.

Transferring Configurations with IAM

The Intelligent Application Module (IAM) has the form factor of an SD card. The card contains all the current network configurations and settings.

In case of a tool failure, the card can be transferred to a new tool and all functionality remains the same. When the card is transferred, the new tool will be updated to the software on the card. It is good practice to make sure the new tool is already running the same software version as the old tool, to minimize the risk of data loss.

Note that the saved results associated with the tool will be lost when the card is transferred to another tool. The MAC-address is associated with the card, not with the tool itself. When transferring a card to a new tool, the tool's MAC-address will therefore be updated.

IAM can not be used for anything but storing the tool configuration data and software. Reformatting the card, as well as manipulating the data on the card through other means than IxB Software or ToolsTalk Service 2, will result in an unusable card.
