Installation
Installation Requirements
Installation
For installation guideline, see Power Focus 6000 user guide.
Setup Quick Guide
This quick guide uses the residual torque method for parameter settings. There are other methods, although they are not covered here.
During the setup of parameter settings the torque installed may be higher or lower than presented on the POWER FOCUS display screen. The Residual Torque Correlation Factor (RTCF) affects the presented value, make sure to check the residual torque with an ST Wrench or similar if the joint settings are done with parts in ongoing production.
Set the RTCF to 100%.
Always use the intended sockets and extensions (preferably guided sockets and extensions).
Always do the settings on the intended joint.
Reusing the same joint for many tightenings may affect the result.
Set the target torque to the specified torque required.
Tighten the joint with standard POWER FOCUS settings.
Check the torque.
Change the RTCF if the residual torque is a lot lower or higher than seen on the POWER FOCUS. The residual torque should correlate with the POWER FOCUS. If the deviation is small (+/-4 %) continue to the next step.
The RTCF is correlated to the settings that is performed in the next step, do not spend too much time on it in this step.
Increase or decrease power and rundown speed in order to achieve 10-20 pulses during the tightening.
If the joint is very hard or varying from hard to medium hard, adapt the settings for the hardest joint.
Increase power and/or rundown speed if the pulses are too many (>20) as it increases wear and reduces productivity.
Decrease power and/or rundown speed if the pulses are too few as this will result in poor accuracy.
If high productivity is needed, try to get at least 5-10 pulses per tightening.
A rundown speed of 2000 rpm will suffice. If the tightening speed needs to be improved, increase the rundown speed in small increments and evaluate the changes carefully. A high rundown speed reduces the tightening time, but may result in torque overshoot.
If angle monitoring is to be used, the rundown speed may need to be decreased, in order to lower the angle scatter. For more information, contact Atlas Copco Industrial Technique AB Customer Service Center, for the Public Tightening Accuracy Reports for pulse tools.
Tighten the joint with the new settings. Change the settings if needed and redo the tightening.
Do a number of tightenings to check and change the RTCF, see Power Focus 6000 Configuration manual.
Tighten a number of joints with the new RTCF to see if required results are met. If the tool does not perform as intended, redo steps 6 through 9.
Tighten as many joints as needed to check the tool capability on the intended joint.
Installation Instructions
Torque Adjustment
For installation of the torque adjustment, see Power Focus 6000 Configuration manual.
The torque adjustment factor is stored in non-volatile memory in the tool. Any changes made to the torque adjustment factor in the POWER FOCUS 6000 will update the stored value in the tool.
Rapid Backup Unit
The Rapid Backup Unit (RBU) has the form factor of an SD card. The RBU contains all the current network configurations and settings. During the installation and configuration some of the parameters are saved on the card. In case of a failure, it is a quick task to remove the card and put it into a new tool and all functionality remains the same.
When the RBU is transferred from one tool to another, the new tool will be updated to the software on the card. Since there is a chance of loss of data during the update procedure, 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.
This RBU 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 ToolsTalk Service 2, will result in an unusable card.
Note that the saved results associated with the tool will be lost when the RBU is transferred to another tool.
The MAC-address is associated with the RBU, not with the tool itself. When transferring a card to a new tool, the tool's MAC-address will therefore be the RBU's MAC-address.
Tool Conversion
When converting a tool (for example, by changing the front part), you are required to update the tool information in order to reflect the changes made to the tool. For more information see ToolsTalk Service 2 User Edition user guide
When connected to ToolsTalk Service 2 you will not be prompted to change the tool information. To change the tool designation to match the tool conversion, perform the same steps as those for spare part replacements. Use the tool designation of the new part to update the tool.
Since the tool has been converted, the tool information stored on the tool will no longer match the tool designation on the tool sign.
Attaching and Removing the Battery
Attach the battery to the tool and make sure that it is fastened correctly. The battery can be attached pointing forward or backward to get the best accessibility and balance.
To remove the battery, press the button on the battery and push it out.
Attaching the Electrical Power Cable
To attach the electrical power cable, see Product Instructions for Power Supply Unit 950.
Initial Configuration
Tool Configuration
To configure the tool, see Power Focus 6000 Configuration manual or ToolsTalk Service 2 User Edition user guide.
Tool Calibration
For information on tool calibration for this tool, see Power Focus 6000 Configuration manual or ToolsTalk Service 2 User Edition user guide.
Operation
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.
Configuration Instructions
Tightening Programs
Assigning tightening programs and altering tightening program parameters is done through a web interface or a controller the tool is paired with.
For more information, refer to ETP TBP / ETP TBP-S Software User Guide.

Optimizing the Performance of your Pulse Tool
For optimal performance of the TBP/TBP-S tools, always use STRB2 batteries with good health. Low charge levels of the battery can affect the performance of the tools, especially in demanding applications. For TBP91/TBP-S91 tools, it is strongly recommended to use the 36V battery for most applications. Using the 18V battery with TBP91/TBP-S91 tools might lead to performance limitations of the tools.
Recommended Number of Pulses
A Pulse tool well suited for your application should reach the target torque (with shut off) within 5-20 pulses. The number of pulses it takes for the tool to reach target torque can be measured with an analyzer. The tightening time can also be used a guide to know if the tool is appropriate for your application:
≤ 1 second for tools up to 30 Nm
≈ 1 second for tools up to 80 Nm
≈ 2 seconds for tools up to 150 Nm
≈ 5 seconds for tools up to 450 Nm
≤ 10 seconds for tools up to 850 Nm
If the target torque is achieved with less than 5 pulses (= short tightening time), the torque scatter will increase and it can be difficult to adjust to the right level, especially on hard joints.
If the target torque is achieved with more than 20 pulses (= too long tightening time) the wear will increase and more frequent oil filling and service will be required. Too long tightening time, in combination with high production rate, may also result in excessive heating of the oil. In that case the power will decrease with longer tightening time and sometimes no shut off.
If the target torque is achieved with less than 5 pulses this can be fixed by:
Lowering the power setting during tightening.
Reducing the rundown speed.
Changes of power settings and/or rundown speed may affect the torque accuracy.
If the target torque is achieved with more than 20 pulses this can be fixed by:
Increasing the power setting.
Increasing rundown speed.
Changes of power settings and/or rundown speed may affect the torque accuracy.
Scanner

Torque Check on Actual Joint
Use the same equipment and settings. For example extensions, sockets and tightening program on the test joint, as will be used on the actual joint.
When performing a torque check on the actual joint we recommend using an STWrench with residual measurement* setting.
* Torque required to cause the threads of the fastener (including its head) on which torque is applied, to move relative to the mating thread.
A | The actual joint |
B | Torque wrench |
Perform a tightening.
Measure the result with the Torque wrench.
If the residual torque is not according to the target torque, adjust tightening parameters.
Verification of Tool Accuracy
This test procedure is made in order to verify the tool accuracy. The test is made at three different torque levels with ten (10) tightenings performed at each torque level adding up to 30 tightenings in total. The result is compared with the reference transducer and if the deviation is within limits, the tool passes the test.
Test Conditions and Set Up
The following test conditions need to be fulfilled:
● Use an IRTT as reference transducer.
● Use a test joint with a real screw that gives increased clamp force when tightened, i.e. do not use a brake or similar. The joint should be soft (~100o, the total number of pulses should be >20 during the tightening).
● Do not use any extensions, only the IRTT and socket.
● The STa6000 filter frequency need to be set to 850Hz.
● Tool torque adjustment factor need to be set to 100%.
● The tool needs to be tested at 3 different torque levels, with 10 cycles per level, see table Tool Settings Per Tightening Sequence.

Calculations
Use the results from the tightening, TBP and STa6000 values, to perform the following calculations and evaluations:
1. Calculate mean values
● Calculate the mean torque value (TBP mean) of all results displayed on the POWER FOCUS 6000
● Calculate the mean torque value (STa6000 mean) of all results registered by the STa6000.
2. Calculate the deviation in torque measurement between the TBP tool and STa6000:
Torque measurement factor deviation = 100x [TBPmean-STa6000 mean]÷STa6000 mean
Result for pass is ± 2.0%
3. Normalize the result from the TBP to achieve the same mean value as for the STa6000:
TBP normalized (1…30) = TBP value (1…30) x STa6000 mean÷TBP mean
4. Calculate the deviation between the STa6000 and the POWER FOCUS 6000 for each tightening:
Deviation (1...30) = TBP normalized (1...30) - STa6000 value (1...30)
5. Calculate the standard deviation (Sigma) for the 30 deviations calculated:
6. Check of torque measurement accuracy in relation to the tool maximum torque (ToolMax), specified per tool model, e.g. 55 Nm for TBP8.
Torque measurement accuracy = 100 x 3 x StdDev)÷ToolMax
Result for pass is: maximum 4.0%
