PLUTO Electric Screwdriver

(PLUSTorque)

EDU2AE Controller Series

Current Control

• PLUTO’s Current Control tools algorithm is based on three parameters:– Current, Voltage, and Frequency.

• To set the torque target you dial in the Torque % and the RPM and calibrate to an external Transducer.– Torque calibration is much like any clutch tool

Clutch Control

• PLUTO’s Clutch Control tools are new is 2012: highest torque clutch tools available.

• These tools run on the EDU2AE only

• They are good for applications that require a tool that is not sensitive to joint variations.

• See the Tool overview at the end of this presentation.

EDU2AE Controller

• EDU2AE: Single P-Set

• EDU2AE/HP: Torque Data Display

• EDU2AE/TOP: Eight P-Sets/Torque Data

• EDU2AE/TOP/TA:– Eight P-Sets– Torque Data– Angle Data

Single Torque Profile

EDU2AE

EDU2AEControl Parameters

• Driver Model

• Torque level – tool dependent

• Joint type (HARD or SOFT)

– selects RPM profile

• Break Time:

– Down shift speed from pre-torque to final toque when in the Hard Joint RPM profile

• Ramp Time: select from 0.2 to 3.0 Seconds

• Speed: RPM - tool dependent

• Minimum/Maximum Time.

• Auto Reverse

• Reverse Speed & Torque

• Language: English, Italian, German, Spanish (French and Portuguese on request).

Torque Data Display

EDU2AE/HP

Additional EDU2AE/HPControl Parameters

• PV Torque: For thread cutting

• Rotations: Left or Right

• Change Password

• Password: On or Off

• Calibration: For torque value display

• Compensation: For torque value display

• Unit: In/lbs or Nm

• Torque: Min/Max

• Number of Screws

• OK/ESC: defects allowed?

• Sequencing

• Number of Cycles: jobs

Eight (8) P-sets with torque data

EDU2AE/TOP

Additional EDU2AE/TOPControl Parameters

• Same as the EDU2AE/HP

• With eight (8) independent P-sets

• P-Set selection:– Barcode Scanner– Bit tray– Switch Box

Torque & Angle

EDU2AE/TOP/TASystem list price approximately $5,000 - tool dependent

Modes of Control

• Torque mode

• Torque Lever mode

• Input Torque mode

• Angle mode

• Angle Lever mode

• Input Angle mode

Torque mode

The torque threshold starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

Applications: 1.Thread cutting into Plastic or Aluminum2.Soft joint: measure angle from beginning of compression

Torque Lever mode

The tool lever pull starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

Applications: 1.Confirming correct length screw is used.• Caution the operator not to pre-start the screw

Torque Input mode

An input starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

Applications: 1.Prox sensor on a torque arm• Confirm depth before starting to measure angle• Good for threaded application with little PV torque

Angle mode

The tool runs to a preset Angle from a torque threshold.

Angle Lever mode

The tool runs to a preset Angle from the tool’s lever start.

Input Angle mode

The tool runs to a preset Angle from a input signal.

Application: Thread cutting into Plastic

• Settings:– T&A function: Torque– Torque threshold: Min

• Test results:– 20 rundown test shows 6% range with Kolver– Same tests shows 7% range with Transducer

• Conclusion: Kolver T&A angle measurement is equal to Transducer in this application.

The torque threshold starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

Muti Step strategies

• Pre-set each step as a program

• Set screw count to 1 for each program

• Sequence through the steps with a lever pull

• Example: – Torque and then Angle– Two programs 1) torque & 2 Angle– Cycle through with a lever pull
