From rundown complete: The monitoring window is set from when the Rundown complete torque is reached. From torque: The monitoring window is set from when the specific torque value is reached. On or Off position. If this parameter is set to a value greater than 0, Power Focus checks if a negative torque exceeding this value is applied during the tightening. In that case, the overall status of the tightening is marked as Not OK. This function is started when the wrench reaches the Cycle Start before starting the tightening, a loosening is allowed and does not produce results.

This function is used to detect unwanted loosening at the end of a tightening for instance, when the wrench is disengaged from the joint. It is applied when torque goes below the cycle start and gets to the third percentage value set on the STwrench LEDs.

The strategy can be selected if the controller software version supports the tightening program. Pulsing tools can achieve a higher torque compared to normal rotating tools. Defines the upper torque limit during the soft start. If Torque max is exceeded, the tightening is considered NOK. The tightening will be considered as NOK.

Requires that Soft start is activated. To make a rehit detection when Soft start is not activated, the Rehit detection Complete option must be selected. Rehit detection Complete will not terminate the tightening until all tightening steps have been executed. The tightening will be considered a rehit if the speed fails to reach half the rundown speed, a rehit error is then indicated.

Off: No rehit detection will be performed. The TrueAngle compensation can detect tool rotation and make angle compensations within the set limits. During rundown, the tool can use either speed mode, with a constant motor speed, or pulse mode. The selection is made depending on the encountered torque and the given torque limits within the configuration.

The rundown step can be done in high-speed in order to minimize the time, without overshooting. This is achieved by letting the tool run at a higher speed for a specified angle length. When the angle has been reached, the speed will change to the lower speed specified in Rundown speed parameter.

Only available for SRB tools. Speed: Tool max speed must be higher than Rundown speed rpm. Rundown speed can be set to either Max or Manual.

If Rundown speed is set to Manual ; enter the tool speed in rpm. From Trigger: Rundown angle limits is turned On. The system starts to monitor the tightening angle as soon as the tool trigger is pressed and reports if angle limits are violated.

From torque: Rundown angle limits is turned On. The system starts to monitor the tightening angle from the specified torque value and reports if angle limits are violated. Torque value from where Rundown angle limits are set. Off: Rundown pulse limits is turned off. From Trigger: Rundown pulse limits is turned On.

The system starts to monitor the pulses as soon as the tool trigger is pressed and reports if the pulse limits are violated. From torque: Rundown pulse limits is turned On.

The system starts to monitor the pulses from the specified torque value and reports if the pulse limits are violated. Torque value from where the Rundown pulse limits monitor starts. The value must be set to a value greater than Continuous max torque. Minimum number of pulses to reach the Rundown complete torque value. Maximum number of pulses to reach the Rundown complete torque value. Defines the torque value for when snug is reached and the rundown is completed.

The program proceeds with the tightening and starts with pulse mode, if not already done so during rundown. The Pulse energy delivered in the action pulse expressed in a percentage of the maximum energy that the tool can deliver in each pulse. The energy delivered by the tool expressed in a percentage value. The reaction force tuning factor is based on the action energy and results in a comfortable reaction. The term Residual torque correlation factor is similar to a calibration and adjusts between the dynamic torque, measured in the electrical tool, and the residual torque, measured by a control tool.

Limits can be Automatically or Manually selected. Off: Angle limits is turned off. From Rundown complete: Angle limits is turned On. The system starts to monitor the tightening angle as soon as Rundown complete is reached and reports if angle limits are violated.

Torque value from where Rundown angle limits monitoring starts. From rundown complete: The monitoring starts when the Rundown complete torque is reached. From torque: The monitoring starts when the specific torque value is reached.

A constant increase in torque is assumed when moving from rundown to tightening. A socket slip off, or a broken screw head can cause the torque to decrease. This may be detected in a monitoring window. The principle below is applicable for direct driven electrical tools. The pulse tightening uses a technique of pulsing the electrical current in the motor and has two distinct features:.

The figure shows the general principle of a current pulse tightening strategy. The detailed curve depends on the tool type and the tightening algorithm. The pulse period consists of two phases as shown in the figure with an action current and a reaction current. Each action pulse adds torque to the tightening until the final target is reached. Each reaction pulse creates a counterforce that provides a comfortable reaction.

The energy level of the action phase and the reaction phase are configurable parameters. The combination of these two parameters creates an efficient tightening combined with operator comfort. The principle below is applicable for direct driven electrical tool.

After each pulse period the resulting torque in the screw is increased. After a series of pulses, the final torque target is reached. The energy level in the action phase and reaction phase are user configurable parameters. It is possible to set the amount of energy in the two phases as a percentage of the maximum energy that can be delivered in each period:. Pulse energy ; The amount of energy that is applied to each positive pulse as a percentage of the maximum energy that can be applied in the pulse period.

Reaction force retention factor ; The amount of energy that is applied to each reactive pulse as a percentage of the maximum energy that can be applied in the pulse period. A small Pulse energy reduced energy requires more pulses to reach the target torque as the torque is increased in smaller steps. Smaller steps provides better accuracy to terminate the tightening when the target is reached.

Smaller pulses decrease tool movement and increases operator comfort. A correctly tuned Reaction force retention factor will create the desired operator comfort.

If the factor is too high the operator feels a clockwise rotation of the tool. If the factor is too low, the operator feels a counter clockwise rotation of the tool. In an ideal configuration, the reaction energy does not create any loosening force. If the amount of pulses to reach the target value increases, the value is set too high and a small loosening occurs at each pulse.

The optimum values for the Pulse energy and the Reaction force retention factor need to be tuned for optimum performance of the tool and for best operator comfort.

Rundown speed can be selected between Max or Manual. Off: Rundown time limits is turned off. From Trigger: Rundown time limits is turned On. The system starts to monitor the time as soon as the tool trigger is pressed and reports if the time limits are violated.

From torque: Rundown time limits is turned On. The system starts to monitor the time from the specified torque value and reports if the time limits are violated. Torque value from where Rundown time limits monitor starts. The Pulse energy delivered in the action pulse expressed in a percentage of the maximum energy the tool can deliver in each pulse.

Off: Time limits is turned off. From rundown complete: Time limits is turned On. The system starts to monitor the time as soon as rundown complete is reached and reports if the time limits are violated.

From torque: Time limits is turned On. Torque value from where the Time limits monitor starts. From rundown complete: The monitoring starts when the Rundown complete torque is reached and reports if the number of pulses is outside the limit. From torque: The monitoring starts when the specific torque value is reached and reports if the number of pulses is outside the limit.

A socket slip of, or a broken screw head can cause the torque decrease. The Rotate strategy is primarily a strategy for testing and demonstration purposes. When the tool is allowed to rotate freely, it turns the socket the specified angle using the lowest torque possible.

External result is a strategy used when an OK tightening is indicated by an external digital signal and not by torque or angle values measured during tightening. When the signal is sent, the Result view will show the value of the Target parameter provided in the tightening program specified torque value, angle value, or text string.

These torque and angle values do not represent actual measured values, but only inserted text. On the Home view, select the Tightening Tab. Then, create a tightening program with External Result strategy. Return to the Home view and select the Virtual Station Tab.

In the Licenses window, the External Result Tightening Strategy with a Tool Connected feature requires a license to be assigned and used by a virtual station. In the Tool window, select the necessary tool. Then, select the tool configuration. In the Task window, select the tightening program with an External Result strategy. Select Go Result button to display the results.

Results are sent from the Tool configuration for the tool connected to the Virtual Station. Return to the Home view and select the Settings Tab. Then, select External Tool. In the External Tool window, enter the model, the serial number and the description of the external tool. Serial Number is a mandatory text box. The serial number can be used to provide an identifier for the necessary tool, for example the manufacturer serial number.

The maximum number of characters for the Serial Number text box is Once the switch at the upper-right corner of the External Tool window is set to On , return to the Home view and select the Tool Tab. The added external tool appears in the list of the available tools. In the Licenses window, the External Result Tightening Strategy without a Tool Connected feature requires a license to be assigned and used by a virtual station.

In the Tool window, select the necessary external tool. Select Go Result button to display the results serial numbers.

Serial numbers are sent from the External Tool configuration for the tool connected to the Virtual Station. The tightening program automatically validates with the parameter rules and tool properties as soon as new values are entered or changes are made. If the validation detects any errors they are reported with an error description.

If the validation gives an error, it is displayed with an icon next to the parameter or parameters causing the error.

When you tap on the icon, a short description of the error is given. Target torque is set to 25 Nm with Final torque limits set to Torque min To fix the error, adjust the Torque max value so that it is greater than Target torque , and the error icon will disappear.

In the Tightening menu, choose Tightening program library or Multistep program library. If required, select a specific program in the list. Note that validation can be performed both for the entire list of programs, or for individual programs.

Select the tool icon in the upper right corner. In the pop-up window, choose the tool to validate the tightening program against, and click Validate. If a tightening program is not compatible with the selected tool, it will be indicated by a red circle with an exclamation point. A multistep tightening is a tightening done in several steps.

The number of steps and the type of steps vary depending on the tightening to be done. A multistep tightening program is highly configurable, including monitoring function and restrictions. While multistep tightening programs can be selected from the controller screen, editing programs can only be done in the web GUI. On top there is a drop-down menu containing the Properties of the multistep tightening program.

Here general properties such as program name, overal program monitor and validation can be filled out. To the right there are three tabs containing the steps, monitors and restrictions that can be used to build the multistep program.

To use any of the items, click on the appropriate tab, and drag the item in the list to the tightening area. Depending on its funtion, either drop the item between the beginning and the end of the program for steps , or on top of a particular step for monitors and restrictions. The main area of the interface is made up of the tightening area.

This is the area that includes all the steps in the tightening program. Use the zoom buttons to zoom in and out on the tightening area. 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 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. For each step, it is possible 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. 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 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. 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 process is 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:. Within one step, all the speed shift triggers are based on the same property either torque or angle.

They cannot be mixed within one step. 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 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.

At other locations in the Multistep 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. To set the type of braking, go into the settings for the step, and set the Brake configuration dropdown to Ergo stop or Inertia.

Inertia has no additional parameters. The following tightening steps are not supported for tools configured with Gear Front Attachment GFA of type open end:. This step will run the tool with the programmed Speed in forward direction until the Clutch has been released. When the tool has reported the release of the Clutch the step will finish with OK status. This step will run the tool with the programmed speed in reverse direction until the tool trigger is released.

In this step the tool waits until the Wait Type condition is fulfilled. The tool does not rotate while waiting, but Hold condition can be specified. Number of seconds the tool will stand still - valid only when Time is selected for Wait Type. 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.

This step runs the tool with speed n in the backward direction until the target angle is reached. The target angle is measured from the start of the step. This step is only allowed to use as the last step in the tightening path of a multistep tightening program. However, it is possible to add a sync point after this step. Hard, soft, or manual. Default: Hard. If you select Manual , the Speed ramp field opens.

If Speed ramp type is Manual , this field opens. This steps runs the tool, in the direction defined by parameter Direction , until the input specified by Digital Input goes high or low depending on the value of Stop Condition. If On the tool will be stopped when the target is reached. If Off the program goes directly to the next step without stopping the tool.

Falling edge : The steps runs until a falling edge is detected after step start. Rising edge : The steps runs until a rising edge is detected after step start. Any edge : The step runs until a falling or a rising edge is detected after step start. Available if Speed ramp type is Manual.

This step runs the tool until the target angle is reached. This step runs the tool with the speed n in the backward direction until the angle target is reached. This step runs in the backward direction until the tool trigger is released loosen.

It can only be used as a last step in a program. This step runs until the tool trigger is released tighten. It can only be used as a last step in a tightening program. This step runs the tool with the specified speed in the forward direction until the yield point is detected. Search for the yield point starts when the torque has reached Tt. The average of the torque over Af degrees is calculated.

This procedure is repeated N rs times. A reference slope is calculated with linear regression over the N rs points.

After that, new average values are continuously calculated over A f degrees. The actual slope is calculated with linear regression over the last N s average points. This step runs the tool with the programmed speed in forward direction until the target torque is reached. This step runs the tool with the speed in the backward direction. The Target torque should be set to a positive value. After reaching the target torque, the step runs until the torque drops below the target torque.

This step runs the tool until the target torque is reached. From this point it continues to run an additional target angle. This step runs the tool with the speed n in the forward direction until the first of either torque target or angle target is reached. The torque and angle measurements start at the beginning of the step.

The tool runs until with the specified speed in the forward direction until both target torque and target angle are reached. This step runs the tool with speed n in the forward direction until the Target torque is reached. This strategy runs the tool with the speed in the forward direction until the yield point is detected. The yield point is found by monitoring the torque gradient from the point where the torque goes above the Trigger Torque level, calculated based on Torque and Angle distance measurements.

The Angle distance parameter is set according to the specified hardness of the joint. Set the Gradient angle window for hard joint, for soft joint or for manually setting of the Angle window.

If Manual is selected, the Angle Window must be set. 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 degrees or more after it has been tightened to its snug point. Manual : Manually set Angle Window. Available when Gradient Angle Window is set to Manual.

The angle measurement starts at this trigger. Frequency in which the gradient is being calculated. None : No filtering of the torque is used.

The raw values are used as-is in the gradient calculation. Five-point : The torque value used in the calculation are filtered using a sliding average filter over 5 torque samples. Low pass : The torque values is filtered with a simple discrete Infinite Impulse Response filter. Sliding Average : The torque values used in the calculation are filtered using a sliding average filter over a Number of Samples specified by the use. Needs to be specified when Torque Filter Type is set to Low pass :.

The Thread Cutting to Torque function enables tightening where the Rundown torque required is greater than the Rundown complete torque, for example when tightening thin layers of metal using self-threading or self-tapping screws.

The tool runs in forward direction until the Thread Cutting Angle Aw is reached. The thread cutting angle window is measured from when the torque passes Thread Cut Trigger Torque Ttc for the first time. From the point where Thread cutting angle is reached, the step continues to run until the Target Torque Tt is reached.

Rundown step is the part of the tightening from when the screw enters the thread until just before the screw head touches the underlying surface and snug point is reached. The torque required during rundown does not contribute to any clamping force. This step runs the tool with the speed in the forward direction, and depending on the Rundown Type , Torque or Snug the step behavior is as follows:. Rundown Type: To Torque : The step stops when the specified target torque is found.

Rundown Type: To Snug : The snug gradient calculation starts at the specified torque trigger level Tt. If no torque trigger is set the gradient calculation is started at the start of the step. To Torque or To Snug. If Rundown type is To Snug , the Trigger torque field is displayed. If Rundown type is To Snug , the Delta angle field is displayed. If Rundown type is To Snug , the Torque rate field is displayed.

This step runs the tool in both directions until the socket engages the screw. The step continues until Target torque or Target angle is reached, provided that Continue if not Engaged is set to Yes.

If Target Angle is reached in any direction, the direction is reversed. Limit the search iterations by entering Max Engage Attempts. If Target Torque is reached in any direction the step will finish with OK status.

This external signal can be provided through any means that can provide a digital signal into the Power Focus e. When the signal is sent, the result view logged data will show the value of the Target parameter provided in the tightening program specified torque value, angle value, or text string.

Numerical value for desired displayed target torque value. Numerical value for desired displayed target angle value. Alphanumerical string for desired displayed text. For example: "Oil has been changed". This step cannot be used in combination with other steps. No restrictions can be used with this step. By default, the step has three monitors: Peak Torque, Angle, and Click. Numerical value for negative torque i.

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. 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.

Based on the control strategy selected, a combination of some of the parameters listed below will be displayed. 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.

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. Numerical value for ratchet time which is by default 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". Numerical value in ms to indicate the end cycle time. Applied when torque goes below the rundown complete.

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

Default value is 0. 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. 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:. Peak torque - The PVT will be based on the peak value measured before snug was detected. PVT calculation will not start before this window has been passed, starts at tightening start.

Sets when the system shall start the PVT window how many degrees prior to snug. The Wrench Quality strategy can be configured with the following control strategies. The operator shall execute this operation with a single, steady, movement. The wrench automatically recognizes the breakaway and residual point.

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. Before using TensorPulse tightening step, it is mandatory that the following license type is installed on the controller:.

This step generates tightening pulses in the forward direction, until the torque target is reached. It is the power that moves the tool in the opposite direction after each pulse. High tuning factor makes high reaction force and high pulse frequency; low tuning factor makes low reaction force and low pulse frequency. When the trace configuration is enabled on the program level, the trace resolution can be configured on step level.

The setting for Trace Setting defines how the sampling should be done on each specific step. With this trace recording the sample rates are not the same in all the steps, instead the sample rate depends on the configuration in each step. This means the trace is divided into one trace for each step. 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.

The maximum number of samples in a trace is If a tightening produces more than samples a down-sampling process will take place. A down-sampling process is removing every second trace sample from the whole tightening and continuing recording with half the resolution.

This process is repeated every time the sample limit is reached. Since the down-sampling process is done for all steps, the relation between the steps is the same. The step monitors are used to verify that the tightening was achieved according to the specification, for example, angle limits or torque. Each step has mandatory step monitors and optional step monitors. The mandatory monitors are included when dragging a new step to the multistep program. The optional monitors are flexible and can be placed as needed in the multistep program.

Every step can have up to eight monitors each. The following monitors are automatically added to every step that is added to the multistep tightening program. This step monitor measures the maximum angle reached during the monitor and checks that it is between High limit and Low limit. The angle measurement starts at the start of the monitor or, if specified, at the point where the torque passes Trigger torque for the first time during the monitor.

Four angle types are available: Peak angle default , Angle at peak torque, Shut off angle, and Angle at end. This monitor measures the peak angle reached from the yield point and checks that the peak angle is within the limit.

This monitor measures the average torque during the monitor and checks the calculated value is within the limits. Step Start : The measurement starts from step start and ends at the shut-off point. Torque Trigger : The measurement starts at the point where the torque passes Torque Trigger for the first time.

It ends at the shut-off point. Angle Trigger : The measurement starts at the point where the angle is Angle Trigger , measured from the optional Trigger Torque , is reached. Without Trigger Torque , the Angle Trigger is measured from the start of the step.

Angle Window : Measures during an Angle Window. The window starts at the point where the torque passes Trigger Torque for the first time plus an angle offset, Angle Trigger. Time Interval : Measures during the last Time Interval seconds of the tightening. Available when Type is set to Angle Window.

Available when Type is set to Time Interval. This step monitor measures the maximum torque reached during the monitor, including any over shoot, and checks that it is between High limit and Low limit.

Measures the angle achieved during the monitoring and checks that it is between the specified angle limits. The Trigger Torque level is ignored until the end of the Thread cut angle window is reached. After that, the angle measuring starts as soon as the measured torque is above Trigger Torque. The parameter Stop Condition specifies where the angle measurement should end. Measures the maximum torque achieved during the monitoring, including any over-shoot, and checks that it is between the Torque limits.

All torque values are ignored until the end of the Thread cut angle window has been reached. This monitor checks that all torque values in the Angle Window Length are below the High limit.

The Angle Window starts at the angle degrees set in Start Angle in reverse direction from the shut-off point. This then spans for the angle degrees set in Angle Window Length in reverse direction. If Start Angle is left blank, the Angle Window starts at the shut-off point. The torque values used in the monitor are based on the mean torque value, calculated over Number of Samples. The monitor calculates the prevailing torque value in the Window Length and checks that it is between the Torque limits.

If Start Angle is left blank the angle window starts at the shut-off point. The calculated prevailing torque value is the mean or peak torque value depending on the parameter set by the user during the Window Length.

The calculated value is saved as result data Prevailing Torque Measured. If Torque compensation is set to On , the Prevailing Torque Measured will be subtracted from all torque result values in consecutive steps. Any previously calculated prevailing torque compensation values will no longer be subtracted from torque result values. If Torque compensation is set to No , no subtraction will be made in consecutive steps.

Prevailing torque can be measured as an average of measured values, or at peak torque. To choose between these two modes, set the Use Value parameter to either Mean torque for average values , or Peak torque for peak value. Mean torque for average values , or Peak torque for peak value. Before using Pulse Count step monitor, it is mandatory that the following license type is installed on the controller:.

This monitor measures the number of pulses and confirms if it is between the pulse count low limit and pulse count high limit. If the torque trigger level is set, the check starts as soon as the measured torque is above the torque trigger level. The measured number of pulses is OK if it is between the pulse count low limit and pulse count high limit. The measured number of pulses is NOK if:. Pulse count high limit must range from 1 through It must be greater than or equal to the pulse count low limit.

Pulse Count High Limit text box can be empty. Pulse Count Low Limit must range from 1 through It must be lower than or equal to the Pulse Count High Limit. Pulse Count Low Limit text box can be empty. Torque Trigger must range from 0 through the maximum torque of the tool. Torque Trigger text box can be empty. The shut off point is the point where the step reaches its target. The torque is measured at the shut off point and checked to be between High limit and Low limit.

The current is measured at the shut off point and checked to be between High limit and Low limit. This step monitor detects and reports stick slip effects during a step. The detection is done by counting the number of times the torque falls below the Trigger Level. If the number of times is larger than Maximum Number of Oscillations then the stick slip error is reported.

The monitor operates in two different modes, Dynamic or Fixed. The difference between the modes is the way that the Trigger level is calculated. Dynamic Torque: Trigger Level is dynamically calculated as Peak Torque Percentage of the current max torque, which has been achieved so far during the monitoring. The monitoring is started as soon as the torque passes the Trigger Torque.

In this mode the percentage is not needed. If the torque never reaches the Trigger Torque then the monitoring is not started, this will result in status NOK. Specifies what type of Stick slip detection that will be done in the monitor Stick Slip detection. Default: Dynamic torque. Measures the elapsed time during the monitor and checks that it is between the time limits.

The time measurement starts at the start of the monitor and, if the Trigger Torque is specified, at the point where the torque passes Trigger Torque for the first time during the monitor. If set to Yes , only the gradient measured at the shut off point of the step is checked to be within the limits.

Available when End Point Check is set to No. Specifies the degrees that the calculation of the gradient start after the trigger torque is passed for the first time. If set to Yes , status of this monitor is NOK if the end of angle window is not reached. This step monitor measures and checks the torque rate, i. The calculated torque rate is checked if it is within the torque rate limits defined by High Limit and Low Limit. When Start point angle has been measured from Trigger torque the measuring of the torque starts.

Monitor to enable click torque and click angle results. This monitor has no settings, and can only be used in conjunction with the MWR step. This monitor can be used to check the torque and direction to see if a loosening is attempted when using the Wrench Production step strategy for an STWrench. If the applied torque is above the value set for Loosening Limit in the direction opposite to the configured thread direction of the program, the result shall be reported as NOK.

In the Power Focus StepSync controller, it is possible to use synchronisation points in the tightening program and when any condition that is set for a restriction is met, the tool will be stopped immediately and the program jumps to the next synchronization point only valid for the Power Focus StepSync and Flex , or the end of the program.

Whereas for Power Focus and PF8 controllers, the tool is stopped immediately and the program jumps to the end of the program. To make sure the tightening stops if something unexpected happens, it is possible to add restrictions to the multistep tightening program. For each of the steps in a multistep program it is possible to have up to four restrictions. The following restrictions are automatically added to every step that is added to the multistep tightening program.

This restriction checks the angle from the point where torque passes Start torque T1 to the point where the torque passes End torque T2. If the angle measured from Start torque T1 is higher than Maximum limit Amax , the tool is stopped immediately. When the torque passes End torque T2 , the measured angle is checked against the limit Minimum limit Amin. If the angle is lower than this limit, the tool is stopped immediately. This restriction measures the angle. If the measured angle reaches the Maximum Limit , the tool is stopped immediately.

The angle is measured from the start of the restriction or, if specified, from the point where the torque passes Trigger Torque for the first time during the restriction. This restriction checks the torque.

If the measured torque exceeds the Maximum limit , the tool is stopped immediately. This restriction checks the time. If Maximum Limit is reached, the tool is stopped immediately. If the measured torque exceeds the Detection Torque , the tool is stopped immediately and the program jumps to the next synchronization point for Power Focus StepSync , or the end of the program. It is only possible to add step Rehit restriction to the first step of the multistep tightening program.

Once the Rehit restriction has been added to the first step it shall not be possible to move the step to any other position within the tightening program. The Rehit restriction has to be deleted from the first step in order to move it to other position in the tightening program. Must be greater than zero. The angle window is measured from the start of the step.

If no Angle Window is set, the restriction is active during the whole step. If the measured torque drops below the condition of the restriction the tool is stopped immediately and the program jumps to the next synchronization point for Power Focus StepSync , or the end of the program. Torque control processes The restriction condition is the measured torque. Angle control processes This restriction checks the maximum torque reached during the restriction. For the restriction to be active the torque must first exceed the Trigger Torque.

Cable tools have the option to select Rescinding Torque for Angle. Percentage sets the downward deviation from the last peak torque, and Rescending Torque Time sets the duration between 5 and ms of that deviation. Only when both conditions equal to or lower than the indicated percentage for the set duration are met, will the program be interrupted and jump to the end.

This restriction checks the gradient and if it is outside the limits the tool is stopped immediately and the program jumps to the end of the program. This restriction checks that the measured torque in the Angle Window Length is between the Torque limits. If the measured torque is outside the limits the tool is stopped immediately and the program jumps to the end.

If Trigger Torque is not set, then the Start Angle begins at the start of the restriction. This restriction verifies that all current measurements converted to the corresponding torque are, at most, the Maximum deviation away from the actual torque measured with the torque transducer.

The restriction starts when the torque reaches Trigger Torque for the first time during the step and is active until the step reaches its target. If Trigger Torque is never reached, the monitor will report OK. Before using Pulse Count High step restriction, it is mandatory that the following license type is installed on the controller:.

This restriction gives a limit to the number of pulses, and makes sure that those are below the specified pulse count high limit. If the measured number of pulses is higher than the pulse count high limit, the tool is stopped immediately and the program goes to the next synchronization point or the end of the program. The result reporters makes it possible to extract specific values of selected producer from the result. Only monitors or restrictions located in the same step as the result reporter can be selected.

A result reporter is added to a step using drag and drop in the same way as monitors and restrictions. Each result reporter is responsible for reporting a specific result value, for example, Rundown Angle, Final Torque, Prevailing Torque.

There may exist a result reporter of, for example, type final angle on every step and program monitor angle. The internal number of a result item has to be the same as for the corresponding result reporter. The step results has to be ordered according to the order of execution.

The first executed step has to be first. The target values do not belong to any step monitor so the target values are taken from the step that the monitor belongs to. In the Tightening menu, click on the Multistep program library.

Click on the Plus icon top right and choose the appropriate type of program in the pop-up window Tightening or Loosening. In the program itself, at the bottom left, click on Delete. Indicate if a loosening program is available. Choose from the list of available loosening programs in the controller.

Gives the torque level for generating a result. If left blank, the result is generated every time the tool is started; otherwise result is only generated from the set torque level. Gives the torque value that stops a multistep tightening. Gives the time value in seconds that stops a multistep tightening. Default value for Program End Timeout is 0 seconds. 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.

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. Peak Angle : the highest angle reached during the monitor. Angle at Peak Torque : the angle at the point where the highest torque was reached during the monitor. Shut Off Angle : the angle at the shut-off point of the step. Angle at End : the angle at the end of the monitor, including the brake, if active.

For STB tools, Trigger Torque will only activate in the tightening direction when executing a tightening program; and only in the loosening direction when executing a loosening program. Turn Torque monitoring On or Off for the entire program. If Active in steps is left blank, torque monitoring will start at program start. 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.

Peak Torque : the highest torque reached during the monitor. Shut Off Torque : the torque at the shut-off point of the step. Set amount in seconds. This restriction checks the total time for the tightening and if it exceeds the Time High limit the tool is stopped immediately. The time is measured from the start of the program. This restriction checks the torque and if the measured torque exceeds the Torque High limit the tool is stopped immediately.

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. On : Enables the trace resolution configuration on program level.

Off : The trace recording is done with the same resolution for the whole tightening. In this case, the trace points are evenly distributed in time over the whole tightening. For each time slot 0.

The maximum number of samples in this format is Sample Time : specifies how often samples should be stored in the trace by specifying a sample time in ms. Sample Angle : specifies how often samples should be stored in the trace by specifying a sample in deg. To create a multistep program, drag and drop steps, monitors and restrictions in the tightening area.
