Note: 
Inside Batch Tab is possible to multiply the number of screws to tighten. For example, usually to 
mount a wheel on the car there are 4 or 5 screws to tighten with the same strategy for all screws. 
=n this Tab is possible to define how many screws “Freedom³ has to tighten”.

Fields Meaning 
Screws nr In this field, user has to indicate the number of 
screws to tighten with Freedom³ (for example if 
there are 3 screws, SQ-net will send to 
Freedom³ 3 time the same tightening program) 
Enable batch Click on check box in order to enable Batch 
function 
Strategy In this field is possible to define the strategy in 
order to drive the wrench considering the 
status of the tightening: 
Count only ok results-> selecting this option the 
wrench will consider the batch completed only 
if Freedom³ will get the number of batch all ok 
(for example if there are 3 screws to tighten, 
the batch will be completed only after getting 3 
ok results), All not ok results are not 
considerate for batch counting. 
In case of error redo the batch-> selecting this 
option all time operator get a not ok result, he 
must restart from the complete batch from the 
first screw, that means if there are 3 screws to 
tighten, if the user get a not ok result on last 
screw, he must restart the complete batch 
from the first screw (all the other results are 
not considerate). 
In case of error redo last operation->  selecting 
this option all time operator get a not ok result, 
he must retightening only the last screw.

How to create a route 
 
 
A route is a group of tightening strategies. Freedom³ PRW mode can receive only tightening 
program route. To send tightening programs from SQnet FTA to Freedom³, before user must 
create a route in SQnet FTA. 
From SQnet FTA start page, select route management icon:

Here, user must select the right type of route: 
Freedom wrenches programs: if in the route is not specified any sequence of programs.

belong to location. 
After test is selected (left button of mouse), click on the green arrow to add test to the route or 
click on the red arrow to remove test from the route. When finished, close the window and the 
route created will be saved automatically.

When the route is sent to the wrench (see next paragraph), user will find all test and programs 
inserted inside Freedom³. 
Note: it’s only possible to send more than one route to the wrench, if user need to divide test or 
programs for area or shift or just organize better the work is possible to create “group” inside the 
route, see below “how to create Group inside a route” 
 
How to create one or more “Groups” inside a route 
 
Once the route is created, it’s possible to organize the job editing “Groups”. 
On the left side of the window “Route management”, click on “new group” icon 

In the field “Group name” insert the name of the group. 
Note: the “Group name” can be chosen considering how user wants to organize the work, for 
example using shift name (in case Freedom³ is used by different operators in different shifts), or 
area name where the wrench will be used (so it’s possible to create a group for every single work 
area where the wrench will be used), or operator name (if the wrench is used from different 
operators), or as user prefer. 
 
Select the right sequence type. 
With Freedom³ PRW is only possible work in one sequence: “Vertical”.  
Vertical Group -> This type of sequence is used in case operator must finished a specific test 
composed of 1 or more screws, only when the test is finished can start the next test. For example 
if in one group there are 3 test operation called 1 – 2 – 3, only when test “1” is finished, Freedom³ 
will switch to the next one (test “1” can be composed of 1 or more screws, only when all screw-
test will be completed Freedom³ will switch to the second one). When all test will be finished user 
can start a new “group”.  Note Freedom³ PRW works only vertical mode.
