Tool rotation direction
There are different variables that control the tool rotation direction: tool direction ring, P240 Tool
tightening direction and P101 Tightening strategy.
Tightening a screw or nut is in accordance with the selected P100 Control strategy. Loosening is equal to
reversing the screw or nut. Loosening speed and ramp can be programmed. Reverse is a control strategy
that loosens the screw or nut a programmed number of degrees. The direction is always the opposite of
the tightening direction.
The position of the tool direction ring at the time the tool trigger is pressed decides the direction of
rotation. If the ring is in the right position, the tool rotates clockwise (CW), and counter clockwise
(CCW) if the ring is in the left position. However, the direction does not change if the direction ring is
moved while the tool is running.
With the parameter P240 Tool tightening direction the default tightening direction of the tool is selected.
This means that the tool tightens the joint clockwise (right-hand threaded joints) if “CW” is selected and
the direction ring is in the right position. Select “CCW” for counter clockwise tightenings.
The direction ring adjusts the rotation direction of the tool socket, while parameter P240
Tool tightening direction decides whether it is a right- or left handed threaded joint.
If different tightening directions are used on the same tool, there is a risk that the
operator will use the wrong direction for a specific screw. This could lead to unexpected
reaction forces in the tool that could be dangerous for the operator.
With regard to reverse angle or rotate spindle reverse, the “active” direction is the opposite from the
P240 Tool tightening direction. For instance, if “CW” is to be selected turn the direction ring to the left
position. For safety reasons, it is not possible to loosen the joint with these strategies.
The remote start input is connected in parallel with the tool trigger and has the same functionality. If
