About Routing
The Routing function causes the ACTA 3000 to select the tool for the next
tightening operation automatically.
There are two strategies which decide how the ACTA 3000 will select the tool.
See next page.
Toolstalk ACTA manages the flow of tools in the Tool Database list.
Tool routing
When tool routing is selected and the selected tool has a full batch of tightening operations, the
next tool in the list will be selected automatically. A full batch is obtained when the number of
tightening operations in the tool equals “Batch size” (Prog.-4-1-1). See the figure below for the
tool selection order.

Job routing
For tools without a parameter set extension (i.e. TOOL), job routing works in the same way as
tool routing. For tools with a parameter set extension (i.e. TOOL\1), the tool selection will loop
within the group (if any) of the tools parameter set, until all tools have a full batch of tightening
operations.
A full batch is obtained when the number of tightening operations in the tool equals “Batch size”
(Prog.-4-1-1). See the figure below for the tool selection order.
