Working with the Sync Mode Tab

Sync Mode is used to:

  • Define the tools that shall be included in a synchronized tightening or loosening

  • Specify the tightening or the loosening program each tool shall run

  • Handle reject management (valid only for tightening Sync Mode)

The Sync Mode allows the different tools in a fixtured solution to run different multistep programs at the same time.

In a flexible production line you may need to use a different Sync Mode for each new product. The Sync Mode feature allows you to set up a mode for each configuration.

Each line represents one Sync Mode. The columns contain the following information:
