General

The EC-Screwdriver Spindle 320E22-00xx0 is part of the EC-Screwdriving System.
The essential characteristics of this screwdriver series are:
 brush-less EC-Drive with commutator over encoder
 torque- and angle-controlling
The EC-Screwdriving System is designed for the use in an industrial environment for a
maximum torque of 1.2 or 2.0 Nm (depending on the type of screwdriver  Technical
Data).
The EC-Screwdriving System mainly consists of two components:
 the EC-Screwdriver Spindle of the series 320E22-00xx0.
 the sequence controller AST10-1 / AST11-1 with integrated amplifier or sequence con-
troller AST(i)6
For more equipment  Optional Equipment and Operating Instructions "Sequence Con-
troller AST10/AST11" or "Sequence Controller AST(i)6"
IMPORTANT
The operation of the screwdriver spindle requires a programmable se-
quence controller (AST10-1, AST11-1 or AST(i)6) with integrated amplifier
and a motor cable.
The sequence controller offers standard screwdriving programs for tightening screws to
a specific torque value respectively loosening at a specific angle value. Their parameters
are adjustable directly via the controller's keyboard.
Special screwdriving sequences are easy to create: standard assembly steps, already
stored in the controller, can be selected and comfortably built up to form a complete as-
sembly process. This happens via the integrated web server's PC operator board.
No special PC software is required – only a normal web browser (such as MS explorer)
and an Ethernet port.
Additional software modules for documentation and screw join analysis (data logging,
graphics, etc.) are available as optional equipment.
Also optionally available is an update service for the sequence controller which provides
continuous update of the controller's function and control software.
The controller's integrated display and operating unit indicates the operating mode and
assembly status. It also allows a direct change of parameters (such as speed, torque and
angle values etc.) within the assembly process and without the need of a PC connection.
In automatic mode, the sequence controller communicates with the system's PLC.
Screwdriving programs can be selected and started. After completion of the assembly
process, the sequence controller will report the status of the result to the PLC.
An Ethernet port allows the network of more screwdriver spindles (i.e. multi spindle sys-
tems) with centralized process monitoring (graphics, statistics, individual data sets, etc.).
