Loosening Strategy

Loosening Strategy

The Loosening strategy is a three-step process designed for efficient screw removal with control.

Steps:

1. Locate Screw:

   • The tool starts by rotating slowly in the tightening direction (forward). This ensures proper engagement with the screw head and minimizes risk of slipping.

2. Run Up:

   • The tool ramps up to its highest RPM in reverse, effectively breaking the initial torque holding the screw in place.
   • This phase prioritizes speed while maintaining control.

3. Exit Hole:

   • Once the tool detects the screw is nearly extracted (through various methods like depth sensing or motor current changes), it switches to a slow reverse rotation.
   • This final step carefully removes the screw completely and positions the tool for easy withdrawal.

Benefits:

• Efficient Removal: The high-speed run up phase breaks the initial torque quickly, while the locate screw and exit hole phases ensure controlled engagement and final removal.
• Reduced Cycle Time: This strategy optimizes speed for screw removal, making it ideal for applications where fast disassembly is needed.

Applications:

• Loosening is suitable for situations where quick screw removal is a priority, such as during product disassembly or part replacement processes.
