Calibrating a Tool with STa6000 or STpad
Performing the QA Calibration through the STa6000 or STpad
Go to the Integrated Controller Tool menu and select Tool > QA Calibration.
Set the QA Calibration to On.
Select the connection type to be used (TCP or COM), and type the port number.
The default port for communication is 4561.
Start the calibration from the STa6000/STpad. The STa6000/STpad requests tool information and tightening program.
Single tightening programs cannot be used for calibration purposes. Make sure a batch program is selected.
Execute the tightening. When the calibration device detects a tightening, it requests the tightening result from the tool.
Repeat the above step until all tightenings in the batch have been executed.
Once completed, the STa6000/STpad creates a report, as well as calculate a new calibration value for the tool.
Select Store in the STa6000/STpad to send the new calibration value to the tool.
During calibration, if the tightening program is changed, or the sequence/batch is updated, the calibration is terminated.
There is no limit in the batch size used for calibration purposes. However, the STa6000 can only display two digits as batch size. Thus, the counter on the Sta6000 reads 00 for 100.
After calibration is completed, perform a tightening to verify that the new values are correct.
