Wrench Quality Tightening Stage Parameters

The parameters shown in the tables are available if one of the STwrench strategies are used. There are several combinations of strategies. Some of the parameters are only available for certain strategies and may not be visible in other strategies.

Parameter rules are automatically checked. If a violation occurs, the error indicator is displayed beside the incorrect parameters. Select the error indicator to display more information about the error.

Switching between strategies can result in the error indicator being shown. This indicates that the chosen combination is invalid, and needs to be corrected.

For more information about the STwrench, see the STwrench User Guide (printed matter number 9836 4134 01).

Parameters in the STwrench tightening step

Parameter name

Condition

Description

Default value

Control strategy

The parameter options are: Yield point, Residual Torque/Time, Residual Torque/Angle, Residual Torque/Peak and Loosen and retighten.

Premature torque loss detection time

From rundown complete, the program may start the tightening with an increase in torque. If the tool detects a decrease in torque within this time frame, a slip-off is reported If the socket slips of the screw head and the measured torque decreases below Rundown complete within the specified time, the tightening is aborted and premature torque loss is reported.
