Thread engagement step
The thread engagement step is used to facilitate screw engagement, normally at low RPM (100-150 rpm). This step is finished by either reaching transition torque or transition angle. If the transition angle is set to infinite, the step can be finished only by reaching the transition torque or it will be aborted when the max. step time has been reached.
Parameter | Description |
Speed | The tool speed is programmable within the valid range. |
Transition torque (A) | The step is considered done when the step torque reaches the transition torque. |
Transition angel (B) | The step is considered done when the step angle reaches the transition angle. |
Direction | Direction of the tightening, clockwise or counterclockwise. Use clockwise setting for normal tightening. |
Vacuum enabled | Digital output to switch on an external vacuum pump. |
Fast speed change | Makes it possible to shift fast between fast and slow speed. When enabled it will be possible to get a more accurate torque estimation for current controlled tools over a longer time frame. This applies in the transition of the current step and the next step. |
Step start delay (E) | Delay from trigger to tool start. |
Min. step time (C) | Setting a minimum time for the step. If not reached the controller will display an error message. |
Max. step time (D) | Setting a maximum time for the step. If exceeded, the controller will display an error message. |
