Chapter 1: Outline 1.1 (Rev. 8/98) About This operations manual This manual details the configuration, components, specifications, and the operation of the AFC1100 Fastening System. The following table outlines the contents of each chapter: Chapter Item Contents Chapter 1 Outline Basic characteristics and requirements of the AFC1100 System. Chapter 2 Specifications General specifications of the AFC1100 System.
Chapter 1: Outline 1.2 (Rev. 8/98) Outline of Functions { The AFC1100 Fastening System is a culmination of over twenty years of electric fastening expertise integrated with the latest electronic technology.
Chapter 1: Outline (Rev. 8/98) { Preamplifier Quality control of the tool torque transducer is accomplished electrically (digitally) through the EEPROM in the preamplifier. During factory setup of the torque transducer, the unit is Dead Weight and Dynamically tested against Standards that are certified and traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The resultant data is then programmed into the preamplifier.
Chapter 1: Outline (Rev. 8/98) { Axis Bypass Function When a PLC Bypass input signal is activated or when the RUN/BYPASS switch on the front panel is switched to the Bypass position, the Bypass output signal is activated. In this condition, the system will not START, REVERSE, CAL OR RESET. The SYNC signal will be bypassed to avoid affecting synchronized operations. When the Axis unit is in the bypass mode, the "Bypass" LED on the front panel of the Axis unit will blink.
Chapter 1: Outline 1.3 (Rev. 8/98) System requirements To ensure the most effective and extended use of all equipment, adhere to the following specifications: { Tool Installation Tools generate a great amount of torque during operation, and the reaction force is applied to the mounting area of the tool. Therefore, tools must be installed in the proper positions and with adequate bolts. Use the specified bolts to prevent the tool from loosening due to vibration.
Chapter 1: Outline (Rev. 8/98) P Axis units must be located a minimum of 600 mm from high transient voltage sources such as transformers, motor starters, AC inverters, and AC contactors. If this cannot be avoided, then the units must be properly shielded. { Static Electricity AFC1100 System construction incorporates many electronic Surface Mounted Devices (SMD). It is advisable to strictly adhere to practices for safe electrostatic discharge in order to prevent damage to the System.
