Glossary
5
cycle start switch
the switch on a tool that initiates a run cycle
default parameters
parameters automatically selected by the unit
desired final torque
the final torque desired in a fastening process (referred to
as torque setpoint)
end delay time [ms]
time delay from the tool turnoff until the torque measure-
ment ends
engineering units
units of torque measurement
external transducer
a transducer physically located on the outside of a tool
fastener rotation
direction in which a fastener rotates
fastening strategy
a strategy used to control or monitor a fastening process
final angle
the final angle desired in a fastening process
histogram
a printout generated from statistical data output
if NOK go to stage
gives the control system direction if the stage is NOK
internal transducer
a transducer physically located inside the tool
LCD screen
the screen on the unit that provides directions to program-
ming the unit
LED flashing in reverse
if yes, the tool LED's will blink when the tool is in reverse
LED screen
the screen on the unit that provides the readout data from
a run cycle
linking
Allows the user to automatically change from application
to application for a predefined number of positions (up to
32). Up to eight different linking strategies called Tighten-
ing Groups can be programmed and are remotely select-
able from the Application Inputs (0-2). This feature can
also be used for Batch Counting by entering the same
application in the desired number of positions.
load
refers to the amount of torque applied to a device or tool
main menu
the first menu that appears on LCD screen
marking output
output from paint marker solenoid after each cycle
master transducer
a transducer used as a benchmark to calibrate another
transducer
max. fastening time [mS]
max time for the tool to run during the stage
mean (Xbar)
the average of all readings taken in a sample
number of Repeats NOK
(linking)
Selects the number of time a fastener can be retightened
after an NOK before going to the linking position.
NOK after reverse
if yes, the controller will report an NOK if the tool is run in
reverse
peak torque
the maximum torque achieved in a run cycle
port
the socket used for connecting a cable or peripheral
equipment
position (linking)
A number 1 to 32 that determines the order in which appli-
cations will be run during linking.
power supply
a unit used to supply power to an electrical device
