TensorPulse Start Stage Parameters

During the start stage, the tool rotates in a speed mode without any pulsing.

Parameter name

Description

Default Value

Direction

The parameter options are CW (clockwise) or CCW (counterclockwise).

CW

Soft start

Enables setting of the tool’s speed, angle and maximum torque to facilitate the bolt entering the thread.

Selected by radio buttons.

Off: Soft start is turned off.

On:Soft start is turned on.

Off

Speed

Defines the speed during the Soft Start.

300 rpm

Angle

Defines the angle during the Soft Start.

90°

Torque max

Defines the maximum torque during the Soft Start.

1.25 Nm

Rehit detection

Early: Terminates the tightening immediately when an already tightened screw/bolt is detected. The tightening will be considered as NOK. Requires that Soft start is activated.

Complete: Even though an already tightened screw/bolt is detected, the tightening is not terminated until all tightening steps have been executed. The tightening will be considered as NOK. To make a rehit detection when Soft Start is not activated, the Rehit detection Complete option must be selected. Rehit detection Complete will not terminate the tightening until all tightening steps have been executed. The tightening will be considered a rehit if the speed fails to reach half the rundown speed, a rehit error is then indicated.

Off: No rehit detection will be performed.

Combination Soft start = Off and Rehit = Early is not allowed.

Off

True angle compensation

Switch with On or Off position.

Off

Tool movement limits

Only visible if True angle compensation is set to On.

Defines the rotation limits of the tool.

Negative

Only visible if True angle compensation is set to On.

Defines the maximum negative rotation of the tool. If the value is exceeded the tightening is terminated and an error is reported. This is expressed in a numeric angle value.

30

Positive

Only visible if True angle compensation is set to On.

Defines the maximum positive rotation of the tool. If the value is exceeded the tightening is terminated and an error is reported. This is expressed in a numeric angle value.

30

Use attachment tuning

Attachment tuning is selected by radio buttons.

No

Gear ratio

Socket rotation speed = Tool speed / gear ratio.

1.00

Efficiency tuning

For example 0.9 means 10% efficiency loss.
