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.
Programming 3.11.5 Tool / Voltages Fig. 3-45: Tool / Voltages testvolt.txtS The table displays the measured voltages of a channel. These are the most important supply voltages on the measuring board, required for proper torque and angle measurement. Therefore, these must be monitored continuously. If a voltage is out of tolerance, it is shown in red.
Programming 3.11.6 Tool / TQ Measurement Fig. 3-46: Tool / TQ Measurement testmeas.txtS This test function recalibrates the system with the values used immediately before the start of a rundown. The spindle must therefore be released still when this function is called up! Then the tool is started at zero speed and the torque is continuously measured and displayed.
Programming 3.11.7 Tool / Speed Fig. 3-47: Tool - Speed testtach.txtS When you press the tool start switch, the spindle starts with maximum speed. The current output shaft speed is displayed. To achieve this, the angle factor must have been entered correctly, since the integrated speed measurement is derived from the resolver signals.

Statistics Statistics Understanding Statistics Your unit provides a wide array of statistical and data reports (charts) for the control of manufac- turing 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.
Statistics 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.
Page 99
Statistics 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 docu- ment is structured for a sample size of five units.
Page 100
Statistics Calculate Process Center Lines After data for 20 samples of five have been plotted, calculate the center lines for both the aver- age 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.
Page 101
Statistics Sometimes a process takes time to stabilize after start-up. If the indication of special cause vari- ation 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 varia- tion occur other than at start-up, action should be taken to identify and correct the cause, and the process re-started.
Statistics 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. •...
