Torque seating monitoring step

This step is a torque step with additional seating monitoring. When a seating isn't found a tightening error will be triggered. It is also possible to collect clamp torque and clamp angle data. The torque seating monitoring step has a given target torque and includes a seating detection.

Parameter

Description

Speed

The tool speed is programmable within the valid range.

Target torque

The target torque of the joint.

Seating angle displacement

Angle window for calculating the seating point from the gradient trigger point.

Gradient trigger point

The torque level when the tool detects that the screw head has touched the work piece. This is the end point of the Seating angle displacement.

Vacuum enabled

Digital output to switch on an external vacuum pump.

Min. torque

If the total torque is below minimum torque, an error message will be displayed.

Max. torque

The maximum torque value must not be exceeded during this step. If the maximum torque is reached, the driver will stop and the controller will display an error message.

Rescinding torque limit

This monitor parameter sets a lower limit for the torque in this step. If the torque, at any time, drops below this limit, the tightening will stop with an error message.
Setting this parameter to 0 will disable the rescinding torque monitoring.

Min. angle

Angle that must have been reached when the step is finished. If not reached, the controller will display an error message.

Max. angle

Angle that must be exceed when the step is finished. If exceeded, the controller will display an error message.

Min. clamp torque

The min. clamp torque can be used to detect joint anomalies.

Max. clamp torque

The max. clamp torque can be used to detect joint anomalies.

Min. clamp angle

The min. clamp angle can be used to detect joint anomalies.

Max. clamp angle

The max. clamp angle can be used to detect joint anomalies.

Step start delay

Delay from trigger to tool start.

Min. step time

Minimum time for the step. If not reached, the controller will display an error message.

Max. step time

Maximum time for the step. If exceeded, the controller will display an error message.
