Setting Up High Torque Mechanical Pulse Tools On New Applications
Method for New Installations
- Obtain Application Specifications
- Determine tool for application
- Set up tool on application
- verify tool on application
- Record to worksheet
- Verify tool in Calibration Lab
- Record to worksheet
Setting Up High Torque Mechanical Pulse Tools On New Applications Guide
1. Obtain Application Specifications
• Specs – Obtain the target torque, tolerance, extensions and sockets used for the application.
• Joint Type – Determine the joint type (Hard 30°, Medium-Hard 60°, Medium-Soft 180°, Soft 360°. Angle declared by rotating the fastener from flush (50%) to target torque (100%)
➢ Dry Loctite, Lock Nuts, etc. will possibly cause a medium-soft or soft joint.
2. Determine Tool For Application
• Look Up The Tool – Use the torque curve graphs to select the tool and be sure to use the joint type determined from the torque charts .
• Select Tool – On the torque graph, locate the target torque on the left column; follow the line to the right to select the tool
Follow the chart directly down to obtain an estimated starting point to program the tool.
➢ Suggestion – If more than one tool can be used in the torque range then consider using a larger tool on Medium-Soft/Soft joints and a smaller tool on Hard/Medium Hard joints.
3. Program The Tool Settings
• Set the Torque – Adjust the tools torque setting (Program Setting)(1~30) to the desired torque from the torque charts.
• Flush Detection – Start with the default L1 flush detection (L1-L2)
4. Run The Tool On The Application
• Run The Tool - Run the tool on the application and be sure to hold the trigger until the tool shuts off.5. Audit The Fastener - Conduct a static/residual audit of the fastener to verify accuracy.
• Flush Point Mode – If the tool pulses before achieving the flush point or parts are not
pulled together, set the tool to next “Flush Point” L1 – L2 until parts are flush
• Adjust Torque - If the torque isn’t achieved and parts are pulled together, adjust the tool’s Program Setting (1-30) to increase or decrease the torque until the residual audit target torque are the same
➢ If unable to achieve the required specifications, consider using a larger tool on Medium- Soft/Soft joints and a smaller tool on Hard/Medium Hard joints.
6. Record / Tool History
• Worksheet – Document the above information on the “Panasonic Assembly Tool Set Up
Worksheet”.
• Save Data – Record the Tools Model, Program Setting, Flush Point, Joint Type, Analyzer Settings, Sockets and Extensions.
7. Verify The Tool In The Calibration Lab
• Set Up Transducer – Set up the Analyzer/Software per manufacturers suggested settings.
• Adjust Simulator – Adjust the Joint Simulator per the transducer quick start guide.
• Transducer – Warm up the Joint Simulator and Tool before testing. Run 10 cycles on
the joint simulator to get the components warmed up and grease moving.
• Run The Tool – Run the tool on the Transducer with the Joint Simulator.
➢ Wait 5 seconds in between rundowns.
8. Record / Tool History
• Worksheet – Document the above information on the “Panasonic Assembly Tool Set Up
Worksheet”.
• Save Data – Record the Tools Model, Program Setting, Flush Point, Joint Type, Analyzer Settings, Sockets and Extensions.
Reinstating High Torque Mechanical Pulse Tools On Applications
Method For Reinstating Tools
1. Look up applications settings on worksheet
2. Set up from worksheet or "Replace" for 2-way mode
3. Verify tool in Calibration Lab
4. Run tool on application
5. Verify tool on application
6. Update Worksheet
Reinstating High Torque Mechanical Pulse tools
1. Look Up Application Setting On Worksheet
• Worksheet – Look up the application information on the “Panasonic Assembly Tool Set Up Worksheet”.
2. Set Up Replacement Tool
• Obtain Tool & Attachments – Obtain the tool, extensions and sockets for the application.
➢ 1-Way Wireless or Stand-alone– Referring to the worksheet, program the tool to the same settings as recorded previously, confirming the torque, flush detection and other features used with the previous tool using the remote control. Then, if connected to a controller, select “Replace”.
➢ 2-Way Wireless (90-91) - Change the tool from 1-way to 2-way with the remote control. Then, on the controller, select the tool from the menu in the controller to be replaced.
Select “Replace”. The previous parameters will be saved to the new tool of same model number.
3. Verify The Tool In The Calibration Lab
• Set Up Transducer – Set up the Analyzer/Software per the settings recorded in the worksheet.
• Adjust Simulator – Adjust the Joint Simulator per the recorded washer thickness in the worksheet.
• Transducer – Warm up the Joint Simulator and Tool before testing. Run 10 cycles on the joint simulator to get the components warmed up and grease moving.
• Run The Tool – Run the tool on the Transducer with the Joint Simulator.
➢Wait 10 seconds in between rundowns.
4. Run The Tool On The Application
• Run The Tool - Run the tool on the application and be sure to hold the trigger until the tool shuts off.
• Audit The Fastener - Conduct a static/residual audit of the fastener to verify accuracy.
• Adjust Torque - If the torque is out of specification, adjust the tool’s Program Setting (1-30) to increase or decrease the torque until the residual audit is within specification.
➢ If unable to achieve the required specifications, double check the tools set up (settings & attachments) for any inconsistences.
5. Record / Tool History
• Worksheet – Update the worksheet with the above information if any changes were made to the tool, settings or attachments. Update Torque Analyzer setting, washers, filters and pulse tool compensation
