# StepSync Tightenings

The only possible tightening programs to use in conjunction with StepSync are Multistep tightening programs. To synchronization between the tools in the set-up, Synchronization points are used. At these points, the tools will wait for each other before continuing with the next step in the Multistep tightening program. Note that assigning tightening programs to the different tools can only take place in ToolsTalk 2.

Example of a Multistep tighteningprogram for StepSync

A | Synchronization point

A tightening program can consist of a maximum of 10 steps (not counting the Synchronization points).

Reject Management

Action if failure | Description
