Welcome to part 2 of the Atlas Copco STwrench tutorial series.
In this video we will be using ToolsTalk BLM software
to program some Psets onto our STwrench.
Then we will perform some tests on our joint simulators here
and check out our results and traces on the laptop.
First let's go over how to quickly install ToolsTalk BLM.
Attach your STwrench to the computer via USB and power it on.
You may see it install some drivers automatically.
Then insert the installation CD into your computer and wait for the autoplay to launch.
If it doesn't you can navigate to the CD folder and
right click on the TTBLM .exe file
and click run as administrator.
Click next on the first screen.
Then read the user agreement.
You can print this for later reference.
Click the button next to accept,
and you can proceed to the next step.
Here you can enter your user name and the organization you work at for licensing purposes.
Click next after you've filled this in.
Next you can decide where to install the program to.
I kept mine as the default location.
Finally it will ask you if you are ready to install.
Once you click install it will begin the process.
Afterwards you can select 'Launch ToolsTalk BLM' and finish.
The program will now launch and ask for your license and registration information.
which you can find in the box that the software came in.
My trial period has expired on this computer as you can see.
If you decide to try the software you have 60 days to try the software before you have to register it.
Now let's move on to setting up a Pset.
First we will open up TT BLM on our computer.
In the top right we change our target device to STwrench.
Confirm the change and wait for the software to open back up.
Now we will turn on our STwrench and connect it via USB to our computer.
Click the button up top that says CONNECT and you should see your device listed on the left.
If you open up the Pset menu dropdown you will see a list of all the existing Psets on your device.
We will create a new Pset either by right clicking on Pset in the menu,
or clicking the Pset button on the top bar.
If will ask you to assign a name and a number to your Pset.
Now our Pset editor window pops open
and we can set the parameters for our tightening strategy.
For this demo I will be using torque control with angle monitoring
with a goal of 25Nm.
Next I will click on the torque tab and enter my values for tightening.
I'll start the cycle at 8 Nm.
Set the final torque min to 22 Nm
Final target to 25 Nm
Final torque max to 28Nm
make sure it's set to measure torque at peak,
and set the change screw value to 30 Nm.
For the angle information I will set the start final angle at 8 degrees,
with a min angle of 0 and max of 200.
I won't add any time restrictions but I will increase the batch count to 3.
Once ready I will hit store to save the Pset on the wrench.
I can now disconnect the tool by hitting the disconnect button up top and removing the USB from the wrench.
On the wrench I will navigate with the arrows to program mode
and then select Pset, then select the Pset we just created.
Next I will attach my bit and we are ready to perform some tightenings.
As I begin to tighten the joint the tracking won't kick in until I hit
my cycle start torque of 8Nm.
Once I hit that mark the tool begins to display my torque and angle progress.
As I get closer to my goal the tool light rings will being to light up
and the beeping will increase in speed.
Once I am within my limit of my final torque
The tool will vibrate letting me know to let off on the pressure.
Right away the Low, High, or OK light will show on the tool
and display on the screen as well.
After completing all 3 tightenings for my batch
I get the batch OK status and the Pset will reset.
I can back out of the Pset menu to the main screen again
to review my results
but we want to see the traces as well.
After connecting to the STwrench again
with the USB
we can now click the results viewer
and select our Pset that we want to see the results for.
Here is our test, and you see that we passed all the requirements.
Up top we can also select the trace tab
to view our torque and angle traces on a graph.
All these results can be saved to multiple formats by clicking the save icon up top and exporting the results to our HDD.
That concludes this tutorial.
