9.1 - Torque control

Torque control strategy is the most common use.
It offers the insurance that the torque has really been
applied to the assembly but doesn't give the complete
insurance that the assembly is correctly done.
For example the parts could be not tighten enough or
not tighten at all when there is joint issues, i.e. "cross
threads", missing washer, broken bolt, larger size of bolt;
low quality bolt (even if the torque has been aplied by
the tool).
This strategy is selected when there is a wide angle
dispersion and consequently it is not possible to detect
the joint issues.
Some examples of joints:
● Drum washing machine
● Seat mechanism
● Outside rear mirors
● Cooling/heating components

9.2 - Torque control and angle monitoring

Torque control strategy coupled with a torque and angle
monitoring is adapted for most assemblies.
It offers:
● The insurance that the tightening operation is
correctly done,
● A regular joint quality.
To reach this performance, we monitor the angle to
detect joint issues, i.e. "cross threads", missing washer,
broken bolt, larger size of bolt; low quality bolt.
In case of batch count, this strategy will detect any
re-tightening of the bolt.

threshold
The start of the angle threshold counting should be
within the linear area of the torque increase.
The angle measurement takes into account the torsion
/ back torsion of the spindle by measuring the angle
during the torque drop phase, until the threshold value of
the angle counting start is overstepped.
The recorded values are the following: peak torque and
final angle.

● IF torque ≥ target torque
● OR angle > safety angle

● IF min. torque ≤ peak torque ≤ max. torque
● AND min. angle ≤ final angle ≤ max. angle.
