Multistep Tightening Program Properties
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Name | A user-defined name for the multistep program. |
Description | Description of the multistep program. |
Type | Set type of tightening, for example, fixtured. |
Thread direction | Clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW). Normally this direction is clockwise. |
Trace Configuration
The trace configuration can be done on program level or for each step. The default configuration is set on the program level and can be overridden in each step as needed.
Here, enabling this function allows the configuration to be done on program level.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enabled |
|
Sample Type |
|
Sample Time | Choose the sample time from the drop-down list (0.25 - 1000 ms) |
Sample Angle | Choose the sample angle from the drop-down list (0.25 - 20 degree) |
Program Restrictions
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Maximum Time Limit | Set amount in seconds. This restriction checks the total time for the tightening and if it exceeds the Maximum Time Limit limit the tool is stopped immediately. The time is measured from the start of the program. |
Maximum Torque Limit | Set amount. This restriction checks the torque and if the measured torque exceeds the Maximum Torque Limit limit the tool is stopped immediately. |
Program Monitor
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Angle | Turn angle monitoring On or Off for the entire program. If Active in steps and Trigger Torque are left blank, angle monitoring will start at program start. |
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps the angle monitoring is valid for. If no end step is specified, angle monitoring will stop at the last step of the program that is not a Socket Release step. |
Type | Type of angle monitoring:
|
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque for angle monitoring. |
Low limit | Sets angle monitoring (program) lower limit. |
High limit | Sets angle monitoring (program) higher limit. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Torque | Turn Torque monitoring On or Off for the entire program. If Active in steps is left blank, torque monitoring will start at program start. |
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps the torque monitoring is valid for. If no end step is specified, torque monitoring will stop at the last step of the program that is not a Socket Release step. |
Type | Type of angle monitoring:
|
Low limit | Sets torque monitoring (program) lower limit. |
High limit | Sets torque monitoring (program) higher limit. |
Validation
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Validate against tool values | Use On if tool is known and set Max Torque and Max Speed. Use Off if tool is not known. |
Tool | Drop-down for choosing the tool to validate against. |
Max torque | Maximum torque of the tool to validate against. |
Max speed | Maximum speed of the tool to validate against. |
Attachment Tuning
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Use attachment tuning | Select whether attachment tuning should be on or off. |
Gear ratio | The gear ratio value can be between 0.5 and 4.0. |
Efficiency tuning | The efficiency tuning value can be between 0.5 and 1.0. |
Reporters
This enables the user to choose which values (from monitors/restrictions) shall be shown as final values. Click Add to choose a result reporter to be tied to a program monitor/restriction value.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Reporter | Select a result reporter. |
Producer | Select which monitor/restriction produces the value. |
Value | Select which value to show from the selected producer. |
