Overview

• The Tensor System
• Technical Product Data
• RFID Chip

The Tensor System

The Tensor system consists of a range of tightening tools powered by brushless electric motors and different drive units.

Motors are available in different sizes. All tools are protected from overheating of the motor. Electrical protection system is based on an earth fault circuit brake, Earth Fault Protector (EFP). The EFP senses small current leakage (>30mA) and if leakage occurs, the drive is switched off (30ms). Changing, interfering or tampering with the protection system voids all warranty and obligations from Atlas Copco. Trouble-shooting and re-start of the system may only be carried out by an authorized person. Check the function of the EFP on a regular basis by pressing the trip-button. The EFP should switch off accordingly.

Technical Product Data

Technical Product Data can be found on either ServAid, or the Atlas Copco website.

Please visit: https://servaid.atlascopco.com or www.atlascopco.com.

RFID Chip

The tool has an embedded RFID chip which stores information about the product. The chip is located on the motor of the tool. With an RFID reader it is possible to read and write information to the chip.

EPC Memory

Product number, generation letter and serial number of the tool are stored in the EPC memory of the RFID chip. The information is presented as a 20-character-long string.

Example

String stored in EPC memory: 84366130150670730145

The string reserves three characters for the generation letter, which is presented in ASCII format. As the ASCII codes of the generation letters only use two characters, a “0” is always added in front of the ASCII code.

The table below shows the generation letters with corresponding ASCII codes.

The EPC memory is writable which enables the chip information to be reprogrammed in cases where the motor from one tool is to be reused in another tool.

User Memory

Apart from the tool information in the EPC memory, the RFID chip also contains a 512-bit user memory, available for the customer to add any additional information.

Use a UHF RFID Reader to read and write the RFID chip.

Technical Specification

Performance Characteristics

*Performance based on standard testing methodologies which may vary depending on environmental factors and reader output power.

Functional Specifications

*EPC and User Memory can be re-programmed, password protected, or permanently locked. TID is locked and unique at the point of manufacturing.

The extension for fixturing is mounted directly on the tool between the angle head and the gearbox.

Atlas Copco recommends this solution.

This fixture can be used for all Tensor STB/ST/STR/ES61 models, regardless of size.

To fit the fixture onto the tool, the front part of the tool must be dismantled and then assembled again. An extra front mounting nut is required.

Reaction plate

The reaction plate fixture allows changes to the position of the reaction bar for different applications.

This fixture can be used for all Tensor STB/ST/STR/ES61 models, regardless of size.

Angle tool holder

The tool holder is primarily developed to fit Atlas Copco Torque arms. It can be mounted in several ways depending on the application.

This fixture can be used for all Tensor ST/STR models, regardless of size.

Universal tool holder (< 50 Nm)

The universal tool holder is suitable for all SL/SR models.

Customer-developed fixturing equipment

• The guidelines differ depending on the separate torque ranges for the tools, and if the tool is equipped with a Torque Multiplier.

• Never put a clamp holding the fixture on the surface covering the torque transducer!

• Avoid point loads.

• Clamping load must not exceed 2 kN.

There are no restrictions on the following:

• Materials used for the clamps

• Bearing or swiveling arrangement for the fixture

• Overall thickness of the clamp

For all tools equipped with a Torque Multiplier

Primarily, place the fixture on the spline at the tip of the multiplier.

If this is not possible, the fixture should be placed on the multiplier or on the mounting plate. This is because the tool is not dimensioned for the high torque that the multiplier can deliver.

For torque less than 100 Nm

• The clamping area shall be as large as possible

Avoid clamping on the angle head and cap nut.

STB/ST/ES/SL/SR equipment:

• Fit the clamp around the motor.

• Clamp on the sides of the tool.

STR equipment:

• Preferably, choose a solution that Atlas Copco provides.

• If not possible, fit the clamp around the motor. Cover the inside of the clamp using a rubber cloth to protect the marking plates and plastic cover of the motor.

• Clamp on the top and bottom of the tool.

• Keep the clamping load as low as possible.

For torque between 100 and 200 Nm

ST/STR equipment primarily:

• Fit the clamp holding the equipment around the gearbox.

• The clamp should be located as close as possible to the front nut of the tool.

• The clamp width should be between 15 and 20 mm.

ES equipment primarily:

• Fit the clamp around the motor.

For torque above 200 Nm

Atlas Copco recommends that the holes at the front of the tool are used for the fixture.

If this is not possible, place the clamps further back on the tool.

For tools below 300 Nm, place the clamp on the gearbox.

If this is not possible, place the clamp on the motor.

For tools from 300 Nm and upwards, use one clamp around the gearbox and one clamp around the motor.

  • Operating

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.

Troubleshooting

• If the Tool Becomes Very Hot
• Power Focus 3000/4000
• Power Focus 600/6000

If the Tool Becomes Very Hot

With proper adjustment the tool can handle any normal line jobs that an operator sustains. What can cause overheating are combinations of some factors: torque above rated, too low speed, too long ramp time (motor has to give high torque for a long time), very high prevailing torque, very soft joints, short cycle time. To correct, look over speed, ramp time, tightening strategy. One stage and Ergoramp are most heat conserving when applicable. Please refer to the User Guide of your POWER FOCUS. If the above corrections are not enough, choose a tool of the next higher capacity.

Power Focus 3000/4000

Is the POWER FOCUS switched on and in RUN mode? Check that the correct POWER FOCUS is used (ST31/ST32/ST61/STR31/STR61-Tensor3-7, ST81-Tensor8-9). Check the fuses for the drive part. Check Drive parameters, refer to the User Guide of the POWER FOCUS/ drive unit. Check the earth fault circuit breaker on the backside of the drive. Should it have tripped, make sure to find the primary fault before resuming operation. Check that the wiring on the remote start connector is correct. For further information see 9836 2258.

Power Focus 600/6000

Is the unit switched on? Check the earth fault circuit breaker behind the front door. Should it have tripped, make sure to find the primary fault before resuming operation. Check that the wiring on the remote start connector is correct. For further information see 9836 4954/9836 7446.
