Instruction Manual
201
Speed
The speed at which the tool operates during the initial portion of the Fastening cycle
prior to ATC or downshift.
Spindle
A spindle represents a connection to a hand held or fixtured tool connected to a
controller.
Strategy
Identifies what variables will be used to control the tool during a Fastening cycle.
Thread Direction
Sets assembly direction to clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW).
Threshold Torque
Sets the point at which the tool is "In Cycle". When the tool is "In Cycle" the tool and
controller Fastening cycle status lights turn off, the controller displays dashes (-) for data,
and the "In Cycle" output is turned on.
Tool Tones
Distinctive sounds assigned to tool functions.
Torque Calibration
Determines how torque values are assigned to the electrical signals from the torque
transducer on the tool. This value is unique to each tool and changes over time.
Torque Target
When the tool is being controlled for torque, the torque target instructs the controller
when to shutoff the tool. The torque target should be greater than Low Torque and less
than High Torque, and is required for torque control.
Trace
A display plot of torque vs time (or angle) of a Fastening cycle.
Trip Counter
Records the number of Fastening cycles completed since the last time it was reset. It is
usually used as a supplementary count of the PM Counter.
Units
The following torque units and associated labels are used with STANLEY controllers and
tools. The labels are derived from SP811, SI Unit rules and style conventions from the
National Institute of Standards and Technology
