Residual Torque / Peak
This strategy evaluates the residual torque on a joint as the peak torque necessary to rotate the screw further.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Required tag number | A specific number must be written in the TAG of the end fitting tool. |
Name | Name of the tightening program. |
Program start | Torque value from which the tightening operation starts. |
Torque min | Lower torque limit. |
Torque max | Higher torque limit. |
Maximum torque limit | If the torque applied reaches this limit, the message Change screw is shown on the wrench display. |
Target torque | The torque target. |
Trigger torque | Torque value from which the angle measurement starts (usually set to 50% of the Target torque). |
Angle min | Lower angle limit. |
Angle max | Higher angle limit. |
Target angle | The angle target. |
Torque units | This parameter is not editable. |
Angle limit for rehit | If the Torque min value is reached within the specified angle, the message Joint already tightened is shown on the wrench display. |
Stop condition | Select between Torque peak and Angle peak. |
Torque correction coefficient | When extensions are used, the wrench measurement might be compensated to show a more accurate torque value. To calculate the correction coefficient, please refer to How to calculate the Torque Correction Coefficient. When extensions are not used, Torque correction coefficient = 1. |
Angle correction | When extensions cause additional wrench bending, the wrench angle measurement can be compensated to show a more accurate angle value. When extensions are not used, Angle correction = 0. |
Batch size | Number of tightenings the batch will perform. |
Max consecutive NOK | Number of accepted consecutive NOK to have an OK result. |
End cycle time | Starts when the torque goes below the Program start after reaching the 3rd percentage. |
Ratchet time | Starts when the torque goes below the Program start without reaching the 3rd percentage value. This allows the operator to release the torque for a while and recharge during the tightening operation. |
With this strategy, the breakaway point is not detected automatically. Therefore, this is a less objective method of evaluating residual torque. It may be used when the residual torque/time or torque/angle methods cannot be performed.

A | Torque min | B | Torque max |
C | Torque peak |
Specify the torque limits in order to get a result “OK”.
If the Target angle value is not specified, the angle result is marked as Not Applicable.
If a Target angle value is specified, the residual torque result is measured at the specified angle (starting from the Trigger torque) instead of the peak torque:

A | Torque min | B | Torque max |
C | Target angle |
