Current Monitoring

Current monitoring provides an extra security to monitor the tightening torque and is a complement to the torque sensor in the tool.

At final target torque, the rotor current is measured and converted to a torque value. If the calculated torque is within 10% of the measured torque, the tightening is considered to be OK.

Parameter

Description

Default

Current monitoring

Switch with On - Off position.

  • Off: Current monitoring is disabled and the tool torque is measured by the torque sensor.

  • On: the current is measured at final torque target and converted to a torque value. The calculated torque is compared to the measured torque. If the difference is within 10%, the tightening is considered OK.

Off

Current monitoring is not implemented for Turbo Tight, Rotate, Pulsing and STwrench strategies.
