Working with the Tasks Tab

The Tasks menu is available when both the pump and the tensioner are connected to the hand controller.

Only tasks that have valid configurations are shown on the hand controllers GUI.
For example, if there are no configurations for Assembly, then neither Assembly nor Batch Assembly are available.
Manual mode is always present.
Assembly and Bolt Service allow one run for one bolt, for example for training or testing purposes.

The following tasks are available on the hand controller:

  • Assembly: a singular run of a Step tensioning configuration.

  • Batch Assembly: runs a batch job of a Step tensioning configuration. The operator must enter additional information before starting this job.

  • Manual mode: allows manual control of the tensioning process. This process can be run by any tensioner.

  • Bolt Service: a singular run of a bolt service configuration.

  • Batch Bolt Service: runs a batch job of a Tensioning Service configuration. The operator must enter additional information before starting this job.

Use Manual mode to de-tension or loosen bolts. It is recommended to use an applicable loosening strategy. For more information about de-tensioning, see section De-tensioning the Nut.
