The Fastening cycle aborts if the tool does not shutoff before this pre-selected
time.
How fast the controller changes the speed of the tool from 0 (stopped) to the
rated speed.
Controls the tone made from the handle of handheld QPM tools for accepted
Fastening cycles. Allows distinct tones for tools in adjacent workstations.
Allows Adaptive Tightening Control modes to be selected, so that consistent
torque can be maintained over a wide range of joints. Manual downshift should
be used when:
● High Prevailing Torques – Prevailing Torque > 20% of the Torque Set Point
(TSP).
● High Starting Torque –Starting Torque > 20% of TSP.
The number of Fastening cycles required to be within specified limits to
complete a batch. The Run display shows the batch count and number of
complete Fastening cycles.
Disable: no downshift; Manual: Occurs at specified torque; ATC automatically
adapts to the joint.
Once the tool reaches the Downshift Torque point, the controller changes the
operating speed of the tool from the initial Tool Speed to the Downshift Speed.
The controller changes the operating speed of the tool from the initial Tool
Speed to the Downshift Speed at the Downshift Torque level.
Anytime the peak angle recorded exceeds the High Angle, the Fastening cycle
is recorded as a reject for high angle, the high angle light (red) illuminates and
the Fastening cycle is given an overall status of NOK.
Anytime the peak torque recorded exceeds the High Torque, the Fastening
cycle is recorded as a reject for high torque, the high torque light (red)
illuminates and the Fastening cycle is given an overall status of NOK.
Anytime the peak angle recorded during the Angle Audit Step fails to reach the
Low Angle, the Fastening cycle is recorded as a reject for low angle, the low
angle light (yellow) illuminates and the Fastening cycle is given an overall status
of NOK.
When the peak torque recorded fails to reach the Low Torque, the Fastening
cycle is recorded as a reject for low torque, the low torque light (yellow)
illuminates and the Fastening cycle is given an overall status of NOK.
Controls the operation of the multiple-function panel (MFP) on QPM tools.
The choices for handheld tools are Disable, Reverse (Disassembly), Parameter
Select, Arming and Reset Reject. The default value is Disable.
Records the number of Fastening cycles completed since the last time it was
reset for Planned Maintenance.
When the PM Counter exceeds the PM Limit, the controller provides a
maintenance alert.
A Parameter Set is a collection of instructions that define how the tool should
perform the tightening process. It may be selected from the keypad or 24V
device such as a socket tray.
Controls the tone made from the handle of handheld QPM tools for rejected
Fastening cycles. Allows distinct tones for tools in adjacent workstations.
Slow Seek helps engage the socket or fastener at a pre-selected speed, torque
level and angular rotation. Once engaged, the Fastening cycle completes at a
higher speed. Slow Seek prevents cross threaded fasteners and previously
secured fasteners from being counted in a batch.
