Service Overview
Service Recommendations
Preventive maintenance is recommended at regular intervals. See the detailed information on preventive maintenance. If the product is not working properly, take it out of service and inspect it.
If no detailed information about preventive maintenance is included, follow these general guidelines:
Clean appropriate parts accurately
Replace any defective or worn parts
Installation
Installation Requirements
Installation
For installation guideline, see Power Focus 6000 user guide.
Setup Quick Guide
When using the Tensor Pulse strategy shown here, the tool will calculate and install dynamic torque.
The Residual Torque Correlation Factor (RTCF) is used to translate installed dynamic torque to static torque. During the setup of parameter settings the torque installed may be higher or lower than presented on the POWER FOCUS display screen. The 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.
Start with setting the default parameters
Parameter
Default
Target torque
Specified torque required
Run down speed
Max
Pulse energy
80%
Reaction Force Turning Factor (RFTF)
40%
Residual Torque Correlation Factor (RTCF)
100%
Settings that use 4-8 pulses to install the torque will give the best mix of accuracy, speed, and ergonomic.
Always do the settings on the intended joint.
Reusing the same joint for many tightenings may affect the result.
Adjusting the run down speed
Choose the hardest joint in the batch and set the target torque to the specific torque required.
Tighten the joint with standard POWER FOCUS settings.
Check the torque and the number of pulses.
If needed, decrease the run down speed down to 800-1200 rpm to achieve at least 4 pulses.
Adjusting the pulse energy
Choose the softest joint in the batch and set the target torque to the specified torque required.
Tighten the joint with standard POWER FOCUS settings with adjusted run down speed.
Check the torque and the number of pulses.
Increase pulse energy up to 100% to achieve maximum 8 pulses.
Adjusting the RTCF
Choose a joint in the batch and set the target torque to the specified torque required.
Tighten the joint with standard POWER FOCUS settings with adjusted run down speed and pulse energy.
Use an ST Wrench or similar to check the residual torque.
Do a number of tightenings to check and change the RTCF, see Power Focus 6000 Configuration manual. The torque shown on the POWER FOCUS should match the torque shown on the ST Wrench.
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 2 through 4 to fine tune the setup.
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.
Initial Configuration
Tool Calibration
For information on tool calibration for this tool, see Power Focus 6000 Configuration manual or ToolsTalk Service 2 User Edition user guide.
Tool Configuration
To configure the 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 the controller the tool is paired with.
For more information, see Power Focus 6000 Configuration manual.
