Getting Started
Safe Work Practices Symbol
The signal word "Warning" identifies all notes on safe work practices in this operating instruction, alerting to hazards for life and health of people. Observe these notes and proceed with special care in the cases described. Pass all safety instructions on to other operators. In addition to the safety instructions in this operating instruction, the general local safety and accident prevention rules must be observed. The signal word "Caution!" identifies all portions of this operating instruction meriting special attention to ensure that guidelines, rules, hints and the correct work procedures are observed; and, to prevent damage to and destruction of the machine and/or parts.

!
CAUTION!

1.2

Checking Your Unit


Take the time to ensure you have the required peripheral equipment and cables necessary to setup and run your unit. If you do not have all the necessary items, contact your distributor. Refer to "Attachment A.1" on page12 for illustration of your unit.

1.3

Software
Your unit has been pre-loaded with software and requires no additional software to begin your fastening process. If you are interfacing your unit with an external computer, interfacing software is required. Contact your distributor for the interfacing software.

1.4
1.4.1

Installing Unit
General
It is mandatory that national, state and local safety and wiring standards be followed during installation. These standards would take precedence over any information presented in this section. To avoid the hazard of electrical shock or burn, the following instructions must be adhered to. Failure to follow these instructions may also cause damage to your unit and void existing warranties. Do not energize the unit until all connections have been properly made. Equipment must be properly grounded before applying power. Units energized by cord and plug must be connected to an approved and properly grounded receptacle. All units must be energized by an isolated line. The unit door must always be closed and secured prior to energizing the unit. Ensure the power switch is in the "off" position prior to connecting the power cord.

CAUTION!

Though it is not mandatory, the following instructions are highly recommended for the protected operation of your unit. Use an isolation transformer and surge arrestor on the incoming isolated line. Use oversized feeder lines to reduce electrical noise and voltage drop.

1.4.2

Mounting
Each unit is used primarily as a single tool process/controller/monitor installed in a work station or work area. It may be wall mounted, table mounted, beam mounted, suspended overhead, pedestal mounted or used without mounting. Always choose a stable location to avoid the possibility of unit damage and/or operator injury through hitting, falling, vibration or inconvenient mounting. All cables attached to the unit should be located and secured in a manner to avoid potential operator and passer-by injury. As with all electrical equipment, the unit will produce some heat and should be located so that ambient air can freely circulate around the box. Refer to Illustration Q of the parts manual, PL12-1400 for mounting hole dimensions.

1.4.3

Location Considerations
Your unit should be located to allow access to the front panel and connectors. The unit should be installed for unrestricted and comfortable viewing of the LCD & LED's by the operator. The LCD menu screen, key pad and side door connectors must be readily accessible for the setup. Dependent on the peripheral equipment purchased, the unit may be located in a remote position but should still be accessible. Attachment of accessories and tools should also be considered with the installation locations. Items to be considered are: Location of printer (10 ft. cable maximum for the parallel interface). Attachment of a data collection unit, if desired. Attachment of redundant master transducers (less than 50 ft. is desirable). Attachment of remote annunciators, socket nest, or remote parameter select. Attachment of the unit in a network to a computer. Operation convenience/safety - keep cables off the floor or dangling in operator areas.

1.4.4

Source Power
Your unit, which is used as the process control and power supply for the Cleco DC electric tools, requires a power line with 10 amp capacity at 220-240 Volts AC (50/60 Hz) for the TME-XXX-30. The TME-XXX-15 requires a power line with 15 amp capacity at 110-130 Volts AC (50/60 Hz).

1.4.5

Intended Use
The Electric Tool Control TME Series must be operated only if the following conditions are met: Industrial environment, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) class A Use only the cable types approved by Cooper Power Tools. Use only accessory parts approved by Cooper Power Tools. Unauthorized remodeling, repairs, and modifications are forbidden for safety and product liability reasons.

1.4.6

EMC Measures
The filters required to meet the EMC regulations are integrated. The closed control cabinet and the shielded cables result in very low noise radiation and high immunity to interference. The following relevant EMC regulations are met: EN 61000-6-4: 08-2002 EN 61000-6-2: 08-2002 EN 61000-3-2: 2000 EN 61000-3-3: 1995

This is a class A device. In domestic areas, this device can cause radio interference. If that is the case, the company operating it, can be obliged to introduce EMC measures and cover the cost incurred. Operation without closed control cabinet is forbidden. The properties of the shielding would be altered and the noise emission increase.

The following is a detailed description of each Fastening Sequence: Sequence 11 High Speed Rundown This tightening method is generally used as a fast pre-tightening stage. The torque transducer integrated into the nutrunner measures the torque during the tightening. The value is processed by the control system. When the defined Turnoff Torque is reached the nutrunner is shut off. Thereafter the peak torque is measured during a dwell time and is then processed as the tightening torque of the bolt in the control system. This value is displayed on the Run Screen and can be output to a printer or transmitted to other system components by data communication. When the trigger torque is reached the torque curve is recorded and can be viewed and evaluated using the oscilloscope function. Sequence 30 Torque Control with Torque and Angle Monitoring This tightening stage is normally preceded by a fast pre-tightening stage. The transducer integrated into the nutrunner measures the torque and the resolver measures the angle during the tightening. The values are processed by the control system. When the threshold torque is reached the angle count starts. When the Turnoff Torque is reached the nutrunner is shut off. Thereafter the peak torque is measured during a dwell time and is then processed as the tightening torque of the bolt together with the evaluation of the rundown in the control system. This value is displayed on the Run Screen and can be output to a printer or transmitted to other system components by data communication. When the trigger torque is reached the torque curve is recorded and can be viewed and evaluated using the oscilloscope function. Sequence 50 Angle Controlled Tightening with Angle and Torque Monitoring This tightening sequence is generally preceded by a fast pre-tightening cycle. The transducer integrated into the nutrunner measures the torque and the resolver measures the angle during the rundown. The values are processed by the control system. When the Turnoff angle is reached the nutrunner is shut off. Thereafter the final angle and the peak torque are measured during a dwell time, and these tightening values for the bolt are then processed together with the evaluation of the rundown in the control system. These values are displayed on the Run Screen and can be output to a printer or transmitted to other system components by data communication. When the trigger torque is reached the torque curve is recorded and can be viewed and evaluated using the oscilloscope function. Sequence 41 Angle Controlled Back-off with Angle Monitoring This fastening sequence is generally used to loosen a bolt a specified number of degrees. The resolver integrated into the nutrunner measures the angle during the untightening. The value is processed by the control system. When the Turnoff angle is reached the nutrunner is shut off.

Field Bus Configuration Node Address Defines the address of the TME controller. DeviceNet (1-63), Profibus (2-125), Ethernet/IP uses the controller IP address configured in Communications / Data Transmission. Defines the rate at which information is sent/received from the TME controller. For DeviceNet three choices are available: 500KBits, 250 KBits, or 125 KBits. The rate should be set to match the fieldbus system available. For Profibus and Ethernet/IP, this option is not available. The Baud Rate is automatically set to the master settings. A checked box enables the Part ID function. A checked box that disables further rundowns and displays a "Check Cable" Message on Run Screen as long as the fieldbus doesn't work. Determines how the 32-bit Part ID is converted into readable characters. When "Decimal" is selected, the resulting Part ID is 10 characters in length. When "Hexadecimal" is selected, the resulting Part ID is 8 characters in length. A checked box enables an alternate format for word 1 byte 0 of the fieldbus outputs that replaces the standard Torque/Angle results outputs with Cycle OK, Cycle NOK, and "yellow light" outputs that originate from tool 2. This is the number of milliseconds that each fieldbus output bit will stay on or off immediately after a state change. The standard range is 50 to 999 milliseconds.

Fig. 3-17: Linking


linking.txtS

Linking allows the user to automatically change from application to application for a predefined number of positions (up to 96). Each application is run when the start switch on the tool is activated in the order specified by its position. Upon completion of the cycle, the application will then automatically change to the next position. Up to eight different linking strategies called Tightening Groups can be programmed and are remotely selectable from the Application Inputs (0-2). This feature can also be used for Batch Counting by entering the same application in the desired number of positions. To setup a linking strategy, a Tightening Group 1-8 should be selected and given a name. This will designate which linking strategy is being used. The user can also program if the linking strategy should reset to position 1 after an NOK or set the number of times a fastener can be retightened after an NOK before advancing to the next position. To configure linking, an Application 1-255 must be associated with a position in the linking strategy. To do this, the user must enter App (1-255), and can also provide a Fastener ID and Position Name. Pressing Add <F1> will place the selected application in the user-specified position of the linking strategy. Pressing Delete <F2> will remove the user-specified position from the linking strategy. Once Linking is enabled, the controller will automatically run from position 1 to the last programmed position. Note that the tool start switch or remote start input will have to be toggled between positions. The Tightening Group and Position will also be displayed on the Run Screen. The following inputs and outputs will also be active when Linking is enabled: Linking OK, Linking NOK, Linking Complete, and Reset Linking. Please refer to the Inputs and Outputs section for more information on these signals.

Protocol allows the user to select between different data transmissions. If Appolo 3.1 is selected, then after linking is OK, a special protocol for a label printer is sent to the programmed COM port. With each other selection, the serial data transmission is sent after each cycle. The basic settings are Port, Baud rate, Data bits, Stop bits, Parity, and Protocol. (2-Channel V2.xx.xx C2 only) The Standard, Standard2, and CT01 3964R serial communications protocols can be configured as a unique serial port (COM1 or COM2) for each tool, or such that a single serial port is shared between the tools. The transmitted "Tool Number" is a two-digit ASCII field as programmed in Advanced / System Settings "Station Number".

The Tool memory data is displayed for the selected tool and redundancy. Only the Field Torque Calibration (20% of nominal) and the static current factor are editable, in order to correct the torque calibration of the selected tool. If no Tool memory is available, then all data is programmable. In case a tool with memory is changed to another tool with memory of the same type the tool will continue to work without any necessary changes. In case the tool is changed to a tool without memory or to a different type, then after power on or when pressing the start switch a message is displayed which prompts the user to verify the Tool Setup. If tool memory is not available, <F1> and <F2> will change to Standard Tools and Fixtured Tools, respectively. Pressing the Standard Tools <F1> key will allow the user to select from a library of predefined hand tools. This library can be used to program the tool parameters when tool memory is not available or to change the existing tool memory values. Pressing the Fixtured Tools <F2> key will allow the user to select from a library of predefined fixtured tools. This library can be used to program the tool parameters when tool memory is not available or to change the existing tool memory values. The Safety Shutoff mechanism uses current monitoring to turn off the tool in the event of a transducer failure during a rundown, thereby preventing unexpected high torque. If an application experiences undesired shutoffs due to current spikes, this feature can be disabled at the discretion of the user. When disabled, the tool will still be shut off if the measured current exceeds what is allowable for that tool.
Note:

Calibration with an external (master) transducer and torque monitor traceable to a third party standard is only required for the following circumstances: Before putting a new tool in service, after the tool has been repaired; continuous reading errors; periodic basis of 6 months or 100,000 cycles (whichever occurs first), or as mandated by Quality Assurance. Each transducer's calibration values should be documented for future reference. TMEI Only

The tool start switch starts the spindle with a speed of 30% of the maximum. After one revolution of the output shaft (set angle 360 deg), measured with the tool resolver, it is stopped. During a permanently adjusted dwell time of 200 ms any further angle pulses occurring are traced. The total result is shown as "Actual Angle". The "Shut-off Torque" displayed is the torque prevailing at shut-off or the maximum value reached during the dwell time if that value is higher than the torque at shut-off. If the test run is not terminated by a monitoring criterion, the total result equals or is higher than 360 degrees and is evaluated as okay ("OK"). Monitoring criteria are the torque of transducer 1 and a monitoring time. If the torque of transducer 1 exceeds 15% of its calibration value (even during the dwell time), or if the monitoring time of 5 seconds is elapsed, the test run is terminated with "NOK". The user must check himself, if the output shaft has actually turned by the value indicated (e. g. put mark on the spindle). If the angle reached by the output shaft does not agree with the value displayed, either the angle factor is or the resolver is defective.

Understanding Statistics
Your unit provides a wide array of statistical and data reports (charts) for the control of manufacturing processes. The following provides a description of the control chart for variables and an outline of the procedure for its use. Known as the -R chart (pronounced X-bar-R), the chart for variables can be used whenever a quality characteristic can be measured and expressed by a numerical value. When properly used, it can bring substantial improvement in product quality and a reduction of scrap and rework. When we control a process, we monitor the variation of the characteristics that are important to the product. During production, samples from the process are measured. By plotting the results of these measurements on the control chart, we are able to see if the process is operating in a stable manner (in a state of statistical control), or if the pattern has been disturbed by an event that drives the process out of control. In other words, the control chart tells us what the process is doing - when to take action and when to leave it alone. Although it is a powerful tool, the -R Control Chart is easy to use. Only an understanding of a few basic statistical concepts and the use of simple arithmetic is needed.

4.1.1

The Nature of Variation


Variations in measured product are always present because of random fluctuations and inconsistencies in machines, material, and operator performance. No two items produced are exactly alike. When variation is random and stable, the process is in a state of statistical control (see graph 4-1a). The process has an identity, and its performance is predictable. The stable pattern of variation is caused by conditions that are inherent to the manufacturing system, such as spindle run out, bearing clearances, differences in material properties, accuracy of measuring equipment, and operator performance. We call this "common cause" variation. When variation is sporadic and unstable, the process is out of statistical control (see graph 4-1b). The process loses its identity and is no longer predictable. The unstable pattern is caused by such events as tool breakage, tool wear, bad material, and operator error. This is called "special cause" variation.

4.1.2

The Normal Curve


Most processes in statistical control have a fixed pattern of variation. The mathematical curve that describes this pattern is known as the normal curve (see graph 4-2a). The normal curve is symmetrical about the average. It is high in the middle and becomes smaller as the distance from the average increases. Since the shape resembles a bell, it is sometimes referred to as a bell curve. The normal curve is defined by two conditions - the average of all items produced, and the amount of variation from the average. We can think of these as the center and width of the bell, respectively. The center is the arithmetic average of all items produced. The width is expressed in terms of the standard deviation which is a statistical calculation for the amount of variation from the average. The standard deviation, represented by the Greek letter sigma (), holds a fixed relationship to the normal curve, as follows (see graph 4-2b): 68% of all items produced will be within +1 of the average (two sigma spread). 95% will be within +2 of the average (four sigma spread). 99.7% will be within +3 of the average (six sigma spread).

These two characteristics - the average and the standard deviation - provide the foundation for statistical process control. By taking sample measurements during production, we can predict the average value and the amount of variation for all items produced.

The Procedure
The procedure for establishing a statistical process control program consists of three phases. The first is to obtain statistical control - a state of random and stable variation. The second is to establish process capability. A state of statistical control in itself does not assure that the process is capable of meeting the specification. The limits of variation must be equal to or less than the total specification tolerance. The third is to monitor the process throughout production using the control chart, to detect and correct conditions that upset the stable pattern of variation. Use of the -R Control Chart includes the following steps: 1. Select the Characteristic

Since a separate chart is required for each characteristic, practical considerations limit use to selected requirements. A good candidate is a characteristic that is important to the function of the item. Others include those that are causing a high cost loss because of scrap or rework, and those that require evaluation by destructive testing.

2.

Designate the Sample Size

It is usually desirable to keep the sample size small so that variation within the sample is at a minimum, but not so small that statistical validity is lost. The control chart described in this document is structured for a sample size of five units. If a sample other than five is selected, the manufacturing or quality engineer can provide alternate factors for use in calculating the control limits and standard deviation (Steps 8 and 10). 3. Designate the Sample Frequency

Selection of the sample frequency should be based on economic considerations for the cost of measurements and the potential loss that may occur if samples are not taken often enough. Early in the production run, samples should be taken more frequently and then extended after satisfactory control is verified. The frequency may be expressed as a time interval or as a portion of quantities produced. 4. Assure Measurement Accuracy

Measurement accuracy is mandatory for successful statistical control. Measuring and test equipment must be of a type suitable for the characteristic being evaluated, and must be calibrated and properly used. Decisions resulting from the analysis of a control chart will be no better than the measurement data. 5. Complete the Data Sheet Headings

It is important that all heading entries on the data sheet be completed. They include the part number and description, the operation performed, the name of the operator, the machine or equipment used, and the specification limits. The data sheet and control chart can provide evidence of quality for use by the Quality Assurance organization if the information is properly recorded and traceable to the products manufactured. 6. Start Production

Take samples of five units (preferably consecutive units produced) at the designated frequency, and record each measurement (X) on the data sheet. For each sample of five calculate the average ( ) and range (R), and plot the results on the chart (see graph 4-3).
20 16 12 8 X

- Add the five measurements and divide the sum by five. For a sample of five, it is often easier to multiply the sum by two and move the decimal one place to the left. R - Substract the smallest measurement from the largest. (Note that the range can never be negative.)

Calculate Process Center Lines

After data for 20 samples of five have been plotted, calculate the center lines for both the average and range plottings. The center line for the average chart is known as the grand average ( ) and is the average of all of the sample averages. This is the value that best represents the size of all measurements:

Note: For a sample size of six or less, the lower control limit for the range is zero. Plot the limits on the control chart as broken lines. 9. Evaluate for Statistical Control

Analyze the control chart to see if the process is in a state of statistical control. Variation should be random about the center lines for both averages and ranges, with all points within the control limits. If these conditions are not satisfied, special cause variation may be present.

Statistics

Sometimes a process takes time to stabilize after start-up. If the indication of special cause variation occurs only in the first few samples, continue to take several more samples and recalculate the limits by omitting the special cause values. However, if the indications of special cause variation occur other than at start-up, action should be taken to identify and correct the cause, and the process re-started. 10. Evaluate for Process Capability When the process is in a state of statistical control, estimate the standard deviation () using the value for the average range ( ) previously calculated.

If the 6 spread is equal to or less than the total specification tolerance, the process is capable. It will produce at least 99.7% of all items to specification.

Avg. 6 Spec. Tolerance


Fig. 4-5: Capable Process

If the 6 spread is greater than the specification tolerance, three options are available: Improve the system - reduce variability Increase the specification tolerance Continue production and sort by 100% inspection

11. Center the Process After the 6 capability requirement is satisfied, it may be desirable to center the process so that the process average is close to the middle of the specification tolerance. This can usually be accomplished by a simple machine or tooling adjustment. If the magnitude of the adjustment is known, the center line and the control limit lines for the average plotting may be moved a distance equal to the adjustment, and re-verified after 20 additional samples are plotted. Centering the process does not affect the center line or control limits for the range, so no adjustment should be made to them. 12. Realign the Inspection Activity When properly controlled, production can usually continue without the need for 100% inspection. More attention can be placed on process surveillance and audits of operator performance. However, certain safety critical requirements will justify an independent verification. 13. Maintain Control The operator shall continue to take sample measurements and plot the results on the control chart. As long as the pattern of variation remains random and within the control limits, no action is taken. However, if an indication of special cause variation is detected, the trouble should be identified and corrected (see graph 4-6). An indication of special cause variation can result from conditions such as tool wear, tool breakage, defective material, measurement error, a mistake in calculating the average or range for a sample, and plotting a point on the control chart incorrectly.

Special cause variation may be indicated by one of the following situations: A point outside a control limit. A shift, with several consecutive points inside a control limit but on the same side of the center line. A trend of consecutive points that moves steadily toward a control limit.

Fig. 4-6: Indications of Special Cause Variation

Since we are controlling by evaluating only small sample sizes from the process, the criteria for continuing production must be the control limits. For this reason, we do not place the specification limits (which are recorded on the data sheet) on the control chart.

4.1.4

System Improvement
There are always two risks associated with statistical control. The first is the risk of accepting bad product, and the second is the risk of rejecting good product. Both are undesirable, but our primary concern is usually the first since it has a direct impact on customer satisfaction. The six sigma spread of the process described in this procedure is in general use throughout American industry. When properly applied, it assures us that at least 99.7% of all units produced will meet specification. This relates to a risk of delivering three substandard units for each thousand produced. While this provides much better quality than can be obtained with an uncontrolled process and 100% inspection, it may not be good enough in the future as competition becomes stronger in the world market. So it's important that we continue to improve the manufacturing system - to reduce the influence of conditions that affect variations in the performance of people, machines, and materials (see graph 4-7). There will be practical and economic limitations to this effort, but to the extent that we can further reduce process variation we will increase the probability that all delivered product meets the specification.
