Strategy

Available tightening programs.

TurboTight: No additional tightening behavior is used as default. Only target values are used.

Quick step: Adds an initial tightening step to reduce pre-load scatter.

Two step: Adds a pause between the first and final tightening step to further counteract short-term relaxation effects.

Three step: Tightens to a defined First torque value, then loosens the screw and immediately retightens it to Target torque or Target angle.

Wrench - production: Tightening strategy to use with an ST Wrench.

Wrench - quality: Strategy used for quality test of tightenings with an ST Wrench.

Rotate: Rotates the spindle a specified speed and angle.

External result: presents a predetermined tightening result instead of measured torque/angle.

Name

Name of the step.

Rotational direction

Each of the tightening steps can run either forward, that is to make a tightening, or reverse, to loosen the screw slightly. The arrows indicate this direction. Many of the tightening steps have a direction hard-coded to forward, for example Tighten to Angle, or Tighten to Torque. Steps such as Loosen to Angle or Loosen to Torque have their direction automatically set to reverse.

The reverse setting is not allowed for tools configured with Gear Front Attachment (GFA) of type open end. The tightening direction of the tightening program must be the same as the tightening direction of the open end tool for a tightening to be allowed to be run. It is possible to assign a loosening program to a tightening program for an open end tool, but if the direction switch is set to run the loosening program, the tool will be locked.

Step category

For each step, there is an option to choose a step category. By selecting step category, the NOK tightenings will be listed in the event result view with related detailed status together with the corresponding multistep error information. If no selection is made, the detailed status will be set to "uncategorized multistep error". The related detailed status can be customized.

Angle window

A joint is considered Hard if the screw is tightened to its full torque and it rotates 30 degrees (or less) after it has been tightened to its snug point. A Soft joint rotates 720 degrees or more after it has been tightened to its snug point. The hardness parameter defines the Angle Window for the gradient calculation. The harder the joint - the smaller the angle window.

Speed Ramp / Acceleration (only available in ToolsTalk 2)

For most of the steps it is possible to specify how the acceleration to the target speed should be achieved. Three different settings are possible; Hard, Soft and Manual. The acceleration defined will be used whenever a step is started. Regardless whether the tool is already running with speed at the beginning of the step, the ramp will be used to accelerate to the target speed of the step. This will be the case even if the speed at the start of the step is higher, or lower than the target speed.

Speed ramp - Hard and Soft mode

• Hard: 2000 rpm/s (Speed Ramp between 1000 and 10000 rpm/s is a Hard acceleration.)

• Soft: 500 rpm/s (Speed Ramp between 200 and 1000 rpm/s is a Soft acceleration.)

Speed ramp - Manual mode

• Speed:

  • Default value: 60 rpm

  • Minimum limit: > 0

  • Maximum limit: ≤ Tool Max Speed

• Acceleration:

  • Default value: 500 rpm/s

  • Minimum limit: > 0

  • Maximum limit: ≤ Tool Max Acceleration

Using speed shifts

1−5 angle triggers or torque triggers can be defined during a step, where the speed will shift.

Within one step, all the speed shift triggers are based on the same property, that is either torque or angle. They cannot be mixed within one step.

The Torque triggers and Angle triggers must be less than the step target, depending on the type of the step and the trigger type.

The Torque trigger and Torque speed also validate against the Max torque and Max speed of the tool. A warning or error indicator occurs whenever the Speed Shift settings exceed either the tool max values, or step max values.

The Torque triggers and Angle triggers must be less than the step target, depending on the type of the step and the trigger type.

The Torque trigger and Torque speed also validate against the Max torque and Max speed of the tool. A warning or error indicator occurs whenever the Speed Shift settings exceed either the tool max values, or step max values.

It is possible to push the settings to the tool when a tightening program has a warning, but not when a tightening program has an error (fault) indicator.

The speed shifts can be added in the Configuration field. To add a speed shift:

In the dialog box of a step that can have speed shifts, select Add speed shift. Then, select an angle range or a torque range.
The Speed Shift Angle/Torque fields open. Add values according to the table below:

• Angle/Torque trigger: Must be > 0

• Speed: Must be > 0

• Speed ramp type: Hard or soft

Brake type

The braking behavior of a multistep tightening program can be controlled at two possible locations in the program: in a step preceding a reversal of direction of the tightening, and/or at the final step of the tightening program. At other locations in the tightening program, the braking parameters will not be available in the step's general settings. Braking can be set to either Ergo stop or Inertia. Inertia will brake the tool completely, while Ergo stop will allow for a more ergonomic slowing down of the tightening.

Inertia has no additional parameters.

Ergo stop parameters:

• Adaptive brake: Set the Adaptive Brake to On or Off

• Ramp time: Only available when Adaptive Brake is set to Off. Insert time in ms.

Trace Setting

• Program: Use the settings as defined on program level.

• Manual: The trace sample type from the program level will be used, that is, Time or Angle. Using a different sample rate will override the setting on the program level.

Wait Time

Number of seconds the tool will stand still - valid only when Time is selected for Wait Type.

Hold Condition

• No hold: The tool is waiting without running.

• Hold torque: While waiting the tool strives to hold the torque it had when entering the step.

• Hold position: While waiting the tool strives to hold the position it had when entering the step.

STwrench

Control Strategy

The Wrench Production step type can be configured with the following control strategies.

• Torque: This strategy guides the operator is reaching the desired target torque.

• Angle: This strategy guides the operator is reaching the desired target angle.

• Torque or Angle: This strategy guides the operator is reaching the desired target angle or desired target torque.

• Torque and Angle: This strategy guides the operator in tightening a bolt until both target torque and angle have been reached.

• Yield Point: With this strategy, the STwrench detects the yield point automatically. The torque limits specify the range in which the result is OK. Target angle specifies how far beyond the yield point the user may tighten.

• Loose: This strategy is used to loosen a tightened screw.

• PVT compensate with snug: This strategy guides the operator in reaching the desired target torque for joints with prevailing torque, when the prevailing torque level is higher than the final target.

Target Torque

Defines the target torque for tightening step.

Measure torque at

Specifies where the torque will be measured.

Choose between Peak torque or Peak angle.

• Peak torque: The torque value will be set to the peak torque value.

• Peak Angle : The torque value will be set to the torque measured at the peak angle.

Angle search limit

This is an offset that is used to the set the torque result value for a tightening. Measure torque at must be set to Peak Angle for this parameter to be available.

Ratchet time

Numerical value for ratchet time which is by default 5000 ms. This allows the operator to release the torque for a while and recharge during the tightening operation.

If the Ratchet time is exceeded the result of the tightening is marked as NOK with the reason "Tightening timeout".

End cycle time

Numerical value in ms to indicate the end cycle time. Applied when torque goes below the rundown complete

Torque correction coefficient

The parameter is used to correct the torque reading when using an extension or torque multiplier on the wrench. Default value is 1.

Angle correction

The parameter is used to correct the angle reading when using an extension or torque multiplier on the wrench. Default value is 0.

Target Angle

Defines the target angle for tightening step.

Rehit detection

On or Off. Rehit detection can be used to determine when a tightening is a rehit based on the angle limit setting. Angle limit for rehit is enabled if Rehit direction is set to On.

Linear slope coefficient

Linear slope coefficient characterizes the joint stiffness in the linear part of the curve, as torque/angle slope in the Nm/Deg measurement unit.

Compensate value

Choose between Average torque and Peak torque. The Compensate value specifies how the PVT will be calculated.

Average torque - The PVT will be based on an average calculated using the following:

• Delay monitoring

• PVT interval

• PVT distance

• Prevailing torque min

• Prevailing torque max

Peak torque - The PVT will be based on the peak value measured before snug was detected.

Delay monitoring

PVT calculation will not start before this window has been passed, starts at tightening start.

PVT interval

Sets how many degrees the PVT window shall be calculated for, start from the PVT distance point.

PVT distance

Sets how many degrees prior to snug the system shall start the PVT window.

Prevailing torque min

Prevailing torque minimum limit.

Prevailing torque max

Prevailing torque maximum limit

STwrench

Control Strategy

The Wrench Quality strategy can be configured with the following control strategies.

• Residual Torque/Time: This strategy analyzes the torque trace as a function of time. The operator shall execute this operation with a single, steady, movement. The wrench automatically recognizes the breakaway and residual point.

• Residual Torque/Angle: This strategy evaluates the residual torque on a joint, looking for the residual point of the Torque/Angle trace.

• Residual Torque/Peak: This strategy evaluates the residual torque on a joint as the peak torque necessary to rotate the bolt further.

• Loose and Retighten: This strategy loosens a bolt and retightens it back to its original position

• Yield Point: With this strategy the wrench detects the yield point automatically. Target Angle specifies how far beyond the yield point the user may tighten.

Ratchet time

Numerical value for ratchet time which is by default 5000 ms. This allows the operator to release the torque for a while and recharge during the tightening operation.

If the Ratchet time is exceeded the result of the tightening is marked as NOK with the reason "Tightening timeout".

Torque correction coefficient

The parameter is used to correct the torque reading when using an extension or torque multiplier on the wrench. Default value is 1.

Angle correction

The parameter is used to correct the angle reading when using an extension or torque multiplier on the wrench. Default value is 0.

Target Angle

Defines the target angle for tightening step.

Rehit detection

On or Off. Rehit detection can be used to determine when a tightening is a rehit based on the angle limit setting. Angle limit for rehit is enabled if Rehit direction is set to On.
