Verify AccuPulse Tools On Applications
1. Application Specifications – Record to Worksheet
• Specs – Obtain the target torque, tolerance, extensions and sockets for the application.
• Joint Type – Determine the joint type (Hard 30°, Medium-Hard 60°, Medium-Soft 180°, Soft 360° (degrees are
calculated by rotating the fastener from the flush point (snug torque) to final torque))
• Dry Loctite, Lock Nuts, etc. will possibly cause a medium-soft or soft joint.
2. Determine The Tool – Record to Worksheet
• Look Up The Tool – Use the torque curve graphs to select the tool and be sure to use the joint type
determined above.
• Select Tool – Locate the target torque on the left column; follow the line to the right to select the tool.
Follow the chart directly down to obtain an estimated starting point to program the tool.
• Suggestion – If more than one tool can be used in the torque range then consider using a
larger tool on Medium-Soft/Soft joints and a smaller tool on Hard/Medium Hard joints.
3. Program The Tool Settings – Record to Worksheet
• Flush Point Mode – L1: For applications with light load before snug point
L2～L7: For applications with heavy loads or varying joint rate before snug point.
If the parts don’t come together before target torque, increase the flush point.
• Setting Torque – Adjust the tools shut-off setting “Program Setting” (1~40) to the desired torque from
the set up torque curves.
4. Run The Tool On The Application – Record to Worksheet
• Run The Tool - Run the tool on the application and be sure to hold the trigger until the tool shuts off.
•Audit The Fastener - Conduct a static/residual audit of the fastener to verify accuracy.
• Adjust Torque - If the torque is out of specification, adjust the tool’s Program Setting (1-40) to increase or
decrease the torque until the residual audit is within specification.
• If unable to achieve the required specifications, consider using a larger tool on Medium-
Soft/Soft joints and a smaller tool on Hard/Medium Hard joints.
5. Record / Tool History
• Worksheet – Document the above information on the “Panasonic Assembly Tool Set Up Worksheet”.
• Save Data – Record the Tools Model, Program Setting, Flush Point (L1 –L7), Joint Type, Analyzer Settings,
Sockets and Extensions.
6. Verify The Tool In The Calibration Lab – Record to Worksheet
• Set Up Transducer – Set up the Analyzer/Software per manufacturers suggested settings.
•Adjust Simulator – Adjust the Joint Simulator per the transducer quick start guide.
• Transducer – Warm up the Joint Simulator and Tool before testing. Run 10 cycles on the joint simulator to get
the components warmed up and grease moving.
•Run The Tool – Run the tool on the Transducer with the Joint Simulator.
• Wait 5 seconds in between rundowns.
7. Record / Tool History
• Worksheet – Document the above information on the “Panasonic Assembly Tool Set Up Worksheet”.
• Save Data – Record the Tools Model, Program Setting, Flush Point (L1-L7), Joint Type, Analyzer Settings,
Sockets and Extensions.
