[email protected] 31 Fast. Torque + Angle is a tightening strategy used in production line. Operator must set nominal angle, tolerances and the torque window (min, max e nominal torque).After getting a specific torque ( angle threshold, must be set in the test strategy), user must continue to tighten getting windows tolerance angle. Freedom³ will give as a main results for the statistic the angle and torque values and it will show both graphs. Also FREEDOM³ will check if the...

32 32 Freedom³ LAB mode Fast. Yield is tightening strategy used in production line. Operator must set nominal torque and nominal angle with both tolerances. During the tightening when the joint gets the yield point, Freedom³ will collect as results torque and angle values at yield point and it will show both statistic graphs. If the torque or angle values are outside from tolerance windows, the tightening status will be Not OK (NOK). See below to program Freedom³ for “Fast. Yield”...

[email protected] 33 Fast. Yield + angle is a tightening strategy used in production line. Operator must set nominal torque and nominal angle with both tolerances. During the tightening, when the joint gets the yield point, user must over tighten the joint till arrive to the angle tolerance set in the test. Freedom³ will collect as results torque and angle values at pick point and it will show both statistic graphs. If the torque or angle values are outside from tolerance windows,...

34 34 Freedom³ LAB mode Note: Yield.Det.Ang is an angle parameter, for default is 3°, that means Freedom³ checks every 3° the gradient of the curve to recognize the Yield point. If the joint is more soft, we suggest to increase Yield.Det.Ang . The Angle value at Yield Point is the angle between “Start torque” and “Yield point”

[email protected] 35 Test Field Table Description In the table below is explained the mining of all fields to fill, in order to run tests with Freedom³. Touch the correspondent screen button to enable the field: Field Meaning Description This field is used to describe the test in order to easily identify it. Test Type Is the test to run, there are different typologies of test: quality , SPC, Production See previous paragraph for the meaning of every test or tightening...

36 36 Freedom³ LAB mode Field Meaning Tool (Tool Extra Lenght. – Tool ACC) Torque Coefficient is a correction factor used when an extension is mounted on the wrench and it modifies the original length used to certify and calibrate the wrench (let “0” if there is not any extension). Tool Angle Correction Coefficient is a parameter used when an long extension is mounted on wrench or rotary transducer, to compensate the torsion of extension, otherwise it will introduce an error in the...

38 38 Freedom³ LAB mode Freedom³ is waiting for starting test. Selecting “Brk Test” user has to over-tightening as much as necessary, at the end of over-tightening, if the result is “OK” Freedom³ will display: In case of test not OK:

[email protected] 39 If the result value are outside from tolerances, Freedom³ will ask to confirm the result or to repeat the test (it’s possible to disable this function by setup, see “Setup LAB mode” paragraph). There is not limit, user can have all test he wants (Free Test), there is not any group to complete like in SPC test. Press “ESC” when the test is finish and FREEDOM³ will go back to Free Test page. To see Curves and result, once selected the test, press the right arrow...

See fig. below: ->Selecting “Curve Torque/Time” and pressing confirm(“V” on Freedom³ keyboard), Freedom³ will display Torque/Time curve: By left and right arrows of Freedom³ keyboard is possible to move the cursor and analyze the curve step by step.
