Quick Tightening Strategy

Quick Tightening Strategy

The Quick Tightening strategy is a three-step process designed to efficiently tighten fasteners while minimizing cycle time.

Steps:

1. Locate Hole:

   • The tool starts spinning at a low RPM, allowing for precise positioning.
   • Once the tool detects contact with the screw threads, it signifies a successful "locate hole" step.

2. Rundown:

   • The tool ramps up to its highest RPM to quickly drive the screw towards its final depth.
   • This step is optimized for speed while maintaining control.
   • When close to the final insertion depth it moves to tne next step

3. Tighten:

   • This step has two phases:
     • Speed Mode: The tool lowers its RPM and waits for a slight increase in torque. This ensures the screw is nearly seated.
     • Torque Mode: Once the slight torque rise is detected, the tool switches to a slower, controlled rotation and applies torque until the pre-programmed torque target is reached.

Benefits:

• Fast and Efficient: The locate hole and rundown phases ensure quick positioning and driving of the screw, while the tighten phase efficiently reaches the desired low torque.
• Reduced Cycle Time: This strategy minimizes unnecessary time spent on slow,  high-precision tightening, making it ideal for applications where speed is a priority.

Applications:

• Quick Tightening is suitable for most screwdriving tasks, and can also be uses as the first step in a Cross tightening.
