In the Select method window, select one of the VDI/VDE 2645-2 method from M-201 to M-204.

General category

  • Method: name of the selected method. It is an unavailable field.

  • General condition: in the drop down list, select on one of the items.

  • Name: type the name of the inspection.

  • Barcode identifier: it identifies the inspection. If left blank, the identifier corresponds to the inspection name.

  • Measurement device type: STbench is the only measuring device type available.

  • Measurement device S/N: type the serial number of the measuring device.

  • Number of sample: type the number of results to do during the test. This parameter ranges from 25 to 50.

  • Tool minimum capacity tool: minimum torque value of the tool range.

  • Tool maximum capacity tool: maximum torque value of the tool range.

  • Change recommended tolerance limit: select the check box to edit the tolerance limit value for torque/angle.

  • Tightening direction: from the drop down list select the tightening direction. The available items are Clockwise and Counterclockwise.

  • Unit of measurement: select the unit of measurement to use.

Test point 1 and Test point 2 category

  • Measure angle from: from the drop-down list, select between:

    • One step: the measurement of the angle starts as soon as the Final monitoring torque value is reached.

    • Second step: the measurement of the angle starts in the second step, when the Final angle monitoring torque value is reached.

    • Starting second step: the measurement of the angle starts at the starting of the second step.

  • Torque tolerance: type the percentage of the tolerance torque.

    This field is available if in General category, the Change recommended tolerance limit check box is selected.

  • STbench channel: select the STbench channel to use to do the test. The available options are:

    • Manual selection

    • Number of the STbench channel (from 1 to 8)

  • Transducer S/N: type the serial number of the transducer linked to the measuring device connected to the device.

For Test point 2, select the Recommended check box to enable the test point.

All the other parameters are not editable.

Test point 3 and Test point 4 category

  • Measure angle from: from the drop-down list, select between:

    • One step: the measurement of the angle starts as soon as the Final monitoring torque value is reached.

    • Second step: the measurement of the angle starts in the second step, when the Final angle monitoring torque value is reached.

    • Starting second step: the measurement of the angle starts at the starting of the second step.

  • Angle tolerance: type the degrees of the tolerance angle.

    This field is available if in General category, the Change recommended tolerance limit check box is selected.

  • STbench channel: select the STbench channel to use to do the test. The available options are:

    • Manual selection

    • Number of the STbench channel (from 1 to 8)

  • Transducer S/N: type the serial number of the transducer linked to the measuring device connected to the device.

All the other parameters are not editable.

For Test point 4, select the Recommended check box to enable the test point.

In the upper part of the Add VDI/VDE 2645-2 inspection page, click the More options button () to select the Test point 4.
