6.1.2 Automatic programming of fastening step:
For automatic programming, make sure that the tool is connected to the controller and signals are
correctly assigned. In order to register tightening time, Motor run and Fastening OK signals have to
be connected.
0.
Optional: Use Smart tolerance detection feature (refer to Smart tolerance detection below)
1.
Position the arm on the first screw.
Monitoring fields are displaying the current position of the arm.
2.
Default tolerance values for the approaching Area and for the OK zone will be applied. To
change default values refer to encoders settings. Tolerance values can be adjusted manually
for each individual position or by using Smart tolerance detection feature.
3.
If necessary, define Tightening and Retightening programs to be used for the current
position, feeding point (see Pick Up position in encoders
’
settings) and the tool being used.
4.
Perform a tightening operation as it has to be performed during production.
5.
Tightening time will be registered automatically. Min and Max tightening time limits are
calculated automatically by using default values in operating settings. Tightening time control
is not used if limits are equal to 0.
6.
Repeat 1-5 for each position.
7.
Activate Non-sequential mode if there is no need to keep strict tightening sequence.
NOTE: in non-
sequential mode, retightenings can’t be managed.
8.
Press SAVE button to save the step or CANCEL button to quit programming without saving
changes.
6.1.3 Smart tolerance detection feature:
This feature allows automatic detection of OK zone tolerance for each position. Motor Run signal has
to be connected in order to use this feature.
1.
Press START button to begin smart tolerance detection.
2.
Start the tool and move it around the screw to define OK zone (the zone where operator is
allowed to run the tool).
3.
Stop the tool and press STOP button on the screen.
Or perform a tightening operation as it has to be performed during production.
In this case tightening time will be saved automatically together with detected tolerance
values and current position coordinates. Next position teaching will start automatically.
4.
Continue with Manual or Automatic programming.
