Getting Started

To create a better overview of the system, this section provides a quick guide covering the basic steps required to get started with the Tensor IxB tool and IxB Software. The section does not explain every feature of the system, but instead focuses on the most basic ones.

Get started
  1. Connect the tool to a PC and access the user interface. Set up a wireless connection between the tool and the network.

  2. Define a tightening program containing all relevant parameters of a tightening, for example target angle and target torque.

    If applicable, create a batch sequence. One or several tightening programs can be added to a batch sequence which works as a series of tightening programs. A batch sequence can for example be a certain number of tightenings with a tightening program, or a sequence of different tightening programs.

  3. Assign a task to the virtual station of the tool. The task can be either a tightening program, a batch sequence, or a specified digital input (from for example a barcode scanner).
