The steps required to test a tool are: • Define a Pset (parameter set). • Define a tool. • Link the Pset (or more Psets) to the tool. • Start the test (it can be started either from the Psets list or from the tools lists, except for the Statistic type ISO 6789 / ISO 5393). Schedule the tests in order to be repeated with a defined frequency (in days). Once defined the tools and the associated Psets, it is also possible to create routes of tools. A route has a series of tools to be tested. For instance, it can be used either to create a set of test to be executed by an operator daily or to create a set of tests to be executed on a certain assembly line. 7.1 Creating a Pset The set of parameters that controls a test process is contained within a so-called Pset. This section describes how to setup the Pset parameters necessary to perform a test. Click the Pset menu to access the Pset list: Pset menu Tools linked to the selected Pset Pset list Run Pset icon Select Pset by means of Barcode icon Search Pset From this menu, it is possible to run directly a Pset. 01/2024 102 (251) Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 103 / 251 Normally, the test runs from Tools menu; however, this is a shortcut. The Run Pset icon is active only after linking the Pset to a tool (at least); after clicking Run Pset icon, the following window is shown: Select a tool (in order to link the Pset to it) and click OK icon to proceed with the test. 1. Select a tool 2. Click OK icon NOTE: It is not possible to run the Pset in case this has torque parameters or strategy type not suitable with the connected transducers. If a Pset has one of the following control strategies: Click Wrench, Nutrunner, Peak, Pulse Tool, Free Angle, make sure that it is compliant with the followings. • Make sure that the Delta Cart II is connected to one transducer (at least) able to run the necessary control strategy. • Make sure that the “Upper Limit” of the transducer is higher than the “Max Torque” set in the Parameters settings of the Pset. 103 (251) 01/2024 Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 104 / 251 If a Pset has the control strategy Pulse Tool Preloaded, make sure that it is compliant with the followings. • Make sure that the Delta Cart II is connected to one FCT transducer. • Make sure that the “Upper Limit” of the FCT transducer is higher than the “Max Torque” set in the Parameters settings of the Pset. For the FCT, the “Upper Limit” is expressed in Newton; consequently, the “Max Torque” is automatically converted in Newton to make the comparison possible. • Make sure that the “Torque Coefficient” of the FCT transducer is equal or higher than the “Torque Coefficient” set in the Parameters settings of the Pset. For example, if one of the above control strategies do not obey the related rules, after clicking Run icon, the following is displayed: The red colored box(es) (see the example above) is the parameter that needs to be fixed for running the Pset. The Pset can start even by means of the Barcode icon. Click the Barcode icon to select automatically the Pset; the following screen is shown: After inserting / scanning a barcode string, click OK; the Pset is started automatically (if the barcode reader is set with a carriage return/line feed at the end of the string, the screen above is closed automatically). 01/2024 104 (251) Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 105 / 251 If the same barcode string is associated to more Psets, and if more Tools are associated to the same Pset, an additional screen is shown after the barcode reading to select the Pset/Tool: Multiple Psets with same barcode More than one tool associated with one Pset NOTE: Refer to the paragraphs “Creating a tool” and “Executing the Test” for creating a tool, linking the Pset to the tool and execute the test. For each tool, the following columns give information about the tool status, the date of the last test and the date of the next test: If the Pset scheduling has not been enabled, the status is marked in grey. If the Pset scheduling has been enabled but no test has been executed yet, the status is marked with a question mark. If the tool has been tested with OK result, the status is marked in green. Status If the tool has been tested with Not OK result, the status is marked in red. If the Calibration interval (days) between two tests has expired, the status is marked in yellow, regardless the fact that the previous test was OK or Not OK. Calibration date Date of the last test. Next calibration date Date of the last test + calibration interval (calendar days), specified in the Pset. NOTE: Refer to the paragraph “Main parameters and control strategy” for further details about how to enable the Pset scheduling. 105 (251) 01/2024 Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 106 / 251 In the bottom part of the Pset menu it is possible to filter the Pset list (this can be helpful when several Psets are present).

Min Cm and Min Cmk NOTE: These parameters are not enabled if the Test Type (in the Control Settings – Creating a Pset) is set to SPC (refer to the paragraph “Creating a Pset - Control Settings”). THRESHOLDS PARAMETERS % first threshold This threshold is used to identify the peak to be considered as the result of the test. % first threshold % first threshold 111 (251) Torque exceeding the threshold → peak detected Torque not exceeding the threshold → peak ignored 01/2024 Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 112 / 251 For click-wrenches, this threshold is important to detect the correct click point of the wrench. The threshold must be adjusted to a suitable value for the specific wrench under test (the curve of few tests should be evaluated to figure out the best value to detect the correct click point): Torque Click point % first threshold Time NOTE: The click-point detection works only if the Peak parameter in the Option Settings (refer to the paragraph “Option Settings”) is set to Peak Click; otherwise, the maximum torque is always considered as result of the test. For nutrunners, the default 5% value should suit most of the nutrunners. Torque % first threshold Time In case of noise during the tightening, the value should be increased to avoid detecting a false peak. 01/2024 112 (251) Part Number Issue Date Page % second threshold 6159938870 19 01/2024 113 / 251 For click wrench and nutrunner strategies, this threshold is used to filter the low torque area of the curve, and exclude it from analysis of the peak detection. It is calculated as percentage of the maximum torque reached during the test: Torque Max. torque Peaks below the second threshold are ignored 2nd threshold Time For pulse tools, it is used to filter the curve for proper peak detection for the frequency calculation. After each peak is detected, all the values under the threshold are discarded. This filters all the bounces always present in a pulse tightening. The default value is 80%. Peak Peak Torque Peak 2nd threshold 2nd threshold Time Bounces Bounces ANGLE PARAMETERS NOTE: The Angle Parameters are enabled only if the Control Strategy (in the Control Settings) is set to Free Angle, Nutrunner and Peak. Furthermore, the Check Type (in the Control Settings – Creating a Pset) must be set to Angle or Torque and Angle (refer to the paragraph “Creating a Pset - Control Settings”). NOTE: The test must be executed with an external DRT transducer with angle measurement. Max Angle Angle limit value (MAX) to get an OK result. Target Angle Angle Target value. 113 (251) 01/2024 Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 114 / 251 Minimum Angle Angle limit value (MIN) to get an OK result. Angle Threshold Angle threshold from which the angle measurement starts. Min Cm and Min Cmk Minimum value for the angle Cm and Cmk. If the test gives a Cm or Cmk value lower than the minimum value, the test is marked as Not OK. TORQUE COEFFICIENT PARAMETERS NOTE: The Torque Coefficient Parameter is enabled only if the Control Strategy (in the Control Settings – Creating a Pset) is set to Pulse Tool (refer to the paragraph “Creating a Pset - Control Settings”). For the Pulse Tools, the Torque Coefficient corrects the torque value read by the Delta Cart II to match the real torque provided by the pulse tool on the joint (residual torque). Set the Torque Coefficient between 0.1 and 10. For instance, thinking a target torque equal to 100Mn for the joint. After the tool regulation, the residual torque measured is also equal to 100 Nm; in case the torque measured on the transducer is equal to 120 Nm, the Torque Coefficient is 100/120 = 0.83. NOTE: Multiple the torque result by the K coefficient. In spite of that, the curves show the torque values measured by the transducer, and not corrected by the K coefficient. For the Pulse Tools Preloaded, the Torque Coefficient gives the conversion factor between the load (measured by the FCT transducer) and the torque. The Torque Coefficient ranges between 0.0780 and 0.2450 (up to 4 decimal places). Torque Coefficient NOTE: To calculate the Torque Coefficient value of the FCT transducer, make sure to have the following equipment: • a power tool within the calibration period; • a power tool with a full scale equal or higher than the required target torque. Do the following for calculating the Torque Coefficient value of the FCT transducer: 1. Adjust the target torque of the power tool in order to get the same value as the pulse tool preloaded target torque with a tightening speed of 10 RPM ±10%. 2. Perform 25 tightenings on the FCT transducer with the power tool. For each tightening take note of the torque result of the power tool and the load result of the FCT transducer. 3. Calculate: - The mean value Tm of the torque got by the power tool. - The mean value Lm of the preload measured by the FCT transducer. 4. Calculate the Torque Coefficient value with the following formula: KTEST = 01/2024 Tm[Nm] ∙ 1000 Lm[N] ∙ <FCTscrewdiameter [mm]> 114 (251) Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 115 / 251 CLASS TYPE SECTION This section selects the desired Class Type.

The Delta Cart II bench features two different test types: • Statistic control test • Cm-Cmk test The following diagram shows how the tool testing is typically managed: Repair or adjust the tool Test Cm-Cmk Not OK Tool in use on the line Periodic statistic control test in few seconds OK The Statistic Control, which involves few tests on the tool, can be quickly run every day in order to check the tool before starting the working shift. The full set of tests performed by the Cm-Cmk test takes longer, and it is usually run on the tool with a lower frequency; it is required anyway for a tool coming from a repair or calibration operation. 14.1 Statistic Control Test “Statistic control” is a statistical method for preventing errors and for controlling the productive process. The statistical calculation is based on checking the individual tests on each tool to verify that they are within the set tolerance limits, and on the sequence of periodic tests to define the tool’s repeatability and its tendency to go “beyond control”. The test consists in periodically executing a set of tests (typically 3, 5 or 7 tests) on a tool, and calculating the average value. This value is compared with successive mean values. By analyzing these points in sequence, it is possible to determine the tool tendency to go “beyond control” or to repeat values which could be improved. In this way, defective tendencies in the process can be avoided. 243 (251) 01/2024 Part Number Issue Date Page 14.2 6159938870 19 01/2024 244 / 251 Cm-Cmk Test The Cm-Cmk test is used to test the accuracy and repeatability of a power tool or a torque wrench at a specific calibration. The result is a value that summaries the dispersion of a specific number of values measured (Cm) and the position with respect to the control limits (Cmk). The Cm measures the repeatability of the tools, while the Cmk measures also the average of the tool respect to the target value. Therefore, the Cmk value cannot be higher than the Cm value. The following figure summarizes the possible scenario of Cm and Cmk results for a test on a tool: Cm low Cmk low Cm high Cmk low Cm high Cmk high Refer to the chapter “Statistics” for further details about the formulas used to calculate the Cm and Cmk indexes. 14.3 Generic Power Tools, Multistep Tools, Quickstep Tools Generic power tools, multistep and quickstep are tools producing “real torque”: Torque Time (or Angle) To test these tools on the static transducers of the Delta Cart II bench, a mechanical joint simulator must be used in order to let the tool rotating. 01/2024 244 (251) Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 245 / 251 Position the tool on the brake, and for tools exceeding 15 Nm ensure that it reacts against the reaction bar before starting the test: Reaction bar Joint simulator 14.4 Tool under test Pulse Tools Pulse tools do not provide a continuous torque output but they generate single high-energy pulse of very short duration ( 1ms). This series of pulses results in the tightening of a fastener. Due to the physics of the tool, the final torque reached cannot be measured directly as with real torque tools. The reason for this is we have a very high torque but for such a short time that we do not know how much of these peaks translate into the tightening of the fastener (generating more clamping force). This depends on many factors, including the bolt mass, friction, and the stiffness of the joint. 245 (251) 01/2024 Part Number Issue Date Page 6159938870 19 01/2024 246 / 251 Therefore, the following process should be applied to a pulse tool: Set a low torque Check the residual torque OK Too low Slightly increase torque NOTE: When an impulse tool is tested on the test bench, the torque measured is in general different form the torque measured with the residual torque check executed with a wrench. This does not affect the tests executed on the bench, because for impulse tools the purpose of the test is to evaluate the repeatability of the tool. The relation between the two torque values measured by the bench and the wrench should be recalculated for every tool and joint combination. There are two types of pulse tools: Tool does not stop pulsing until the operator releases the trigger without shut off The tool shuts off the air when a preset torque level is reached with shut off 01/2024 246 (251) Part Number Issue Date Page ➢ Pulse tools without shut off can be tested directly on the transducer: 6159938870 19 01/2024 247 / 251 static No shut off tool ➢ Pulse tools with shut off require a joint simulator; if the joint simulator is not used, they would stop the tightening immediately after the first or second pulse and thus the test may not produce a consistent result: Shut off tool Joint simulator 14.5 Wrenches All type of wrenches can be test by the Delta Cart II bench. The selection between one transducer or the other is executed according to the wrench and transducer capacity. The ISO Rig (when present in the bench) can be helpful for tests/calibration of wrenches. Having the static cell mounted in a vertical position and the wrench tested always in the horizontal position, the prescriptions of the ISO regulations about wrench testing are satisfied. 247 (251) 01/2024 Part Number Issue Date Page 15 6159938870 19 01/2024 248 / 251 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WARNING: Only authorized technicians of the Customer Center can do maintenance operations on the Delta Cart II.
