Sync Stage
Set synchronization point between stages for spindle
networks. All spindles will wait on this stage until all
controllers are ready to proceed to the next stage.
Stage Timeout (sec):
Total time in seconds the controller will
wait in this stage before timing out and aborting the
rundown.
Thread Forming Stage
The ‘Thread Forming PSet Strategy’ can be used in
fastening applications where the initial thread forming
torque is greater than the final torque target to be left on
the fastener. This strategy is intended to be used as the first
stage of a multistage PSet, prior to the final audit stage.
The ‘Thread Forming Strategy’ is a variant of the ‘Angle
Control Torque Monitoring Stage’, which in addition,
includes a reset of the overall peak torque value when the
stage completes. This provides a way to reset the peak
torque value after thread forming so that only the peak
torque from the fastening portion of the rundown is used
for the overall evaluation of the rundown and reported.
Sequence of Operation:
The stage will run until the angle
target is reached, or is terminated early. If the stage
completes successfully the overall peak torque is reset to
the current torque value, then the next stage in the
sequence will begin. If the stage is terminated early, or fails
on the torque and angle limits, the overall peak torque is
not reset and the rundown will be terminated.
