represented by its own tab. Use the left/right arrow keys to select the tab/Step for modifying. There are a
maximum of 12 Steps in each Task.
The parameters for all strategy types are listed. Not all parameters are shown on the display at one time. Use the
scroll bar on the display to view more parameters.
Name
Provides an identifier for the step (15 characters maximum). Use the up/down arrows for
letters or use the numeric keypad.
Strategy
(Standard)
Identifies values used to control the tool during a Step and to control the Step’s direction.
Strategies include:
TC / AM
Torque Control with Angle Monitor. The controller shuts off the tool
when the target torque value is achieved. The controller also monitors
angle which can indicate changes in joint rate. Audit Step torque and
angle results must fall within their specified limits for the fastening
cycle to be acceptable (OK).
AC / TM
Angle Control with Torque Monitor. The controller shuts off the tool
when the target angle value is achieved after a selected snug torque
value. The controller also monitors torque. Audit Step torque and
angle readings must fall within their specified limits for the fastening
cycle to be acceptable.
Strategy
(Advanced)
AC / TC
Angle Control and Torque Control. This strategy enables precision
control for both torque and angle on critical joints. The controller
shuts off the tool when both a target torque value and a target angle
value are achieved after a selected snug torque value occurs. Audit
Step final torque and angle results must fall within their specified
limits for the fastening cycle to be acceptable. The controller also
shuts off the tool when it determines that target torque and angle
cannot be reached (i.e. Bailout limits have been achieved).
Angle Control or Torque Control. The controller shuts off the
tool when either a target torque value or a target angle value is
achieved after a selected snug torque value occurs. Bailouts are set
to the targets. Audit Step final torque and angle results must fall
within their specification limits for the fastening cycle to be judged
acceptable.
AC / TA
Angle Control with Torque Average. The controller performs a
standard Angle Control strategy with the exception that the torque
results are the average torque achieved during the step.
