TurboTight

TurboTight is the default tightening strategy and it is designed to perform a very fast and ergonomic tightening based on the maximum speed of the tool (Tool max speed). This strategy has two options:

  • Quick prog, that requires only the Target torque to be set to perform the tightening.

  • Manual, that allows the user to configure several tightening parameters.

To minimize the risk of unexpected jerk at the end of the tightening when using the TurboTight tightening strategy, make sure to activate Time monitoring.

To minimize the risk of unexpected jerk at the end of the tightening when using the TurboTight tightening strategy, make sure to set the Time Max Limit.

Time Max Limit is enabled by default, but it is necessary to setup the related values. In the tightening stage, set Angle Limit to From Rundown Complete.
Set Time Max as low as possible, without stopping the normal tightening. In the rundown stage, set Rundown Complete Torque so that it is triggered when the torque start to increase.

Depending on the joint properties, for example if the joint is very stiff or very soft, a different tightening strategy than TurboTight might be needed.

TurboTight is not available for Joint Control.

Fine-Tuning the TurboTight Strategy

TurboTight tightening strategy points to the target torque, and the result can be below or above the target. The most important parameter for TurboTight tightening strategy is the speed. It is possible to keep maximum speed for most tightenings, but if all/some of the tightenings overshoot, decrease the speed in small steps. Rundown Complete Torque is not used for controlling of the tightening; it is only used for calculating of limits and results.
