Part Number 6159938880 Issue Date 01/2018 Page 184 / 249 PRODUCTION TIGHTENING OPERATIONS The Production Tightening Operations are applicable only for the Delta 7D. The Delta 7D model provides a set of test strategies to execute a tightening operation. This test is normally run with the Delta connected to a DWTA, but a rotary transducer (for example a DRT) can be used as well.

Part Number 6159938880 Issue Date 01/2018 Page 185 / 249 2. Tightening within torque and angle limits (tightening to a window) This is a more accurate method to tighten: in fact, additional information (angle) are used during the tightening process. By means of this method you it is possible to detect possible problems on the joint (refer to the following list).
