Bosch Rexroth AG | Tightening Technology 258/279 3 608 870 A47 10.1 Overview The sections below describe the tightening processes that are presently the most essential ones in tight- ening technology. The tightening program steps described in chapter Operating system NEXO-OS (see page 175) are used to program all standard tightening processes as well as special tightening processes.
Tightening Technology | Bosch Rexroth AG 259/279 3 608 870 A47 10.2 Torque-controlled tightening process Torque is the most easily accessible measured variable in tightening technology, which is why this tight- ening process is easy to handle. Here, the torque is controlled and the angle of turn monitored.
Bosch Rexroth AG | Tightening Technology 260/279 3 608 870 A47 Application The torque-controlled tightening process is mainly used for: • transmission assembly • wheel assembly • exhaust manifold assembly As the result value for all data outputs, the maximum torque that occurred after the switch-off is output via the target function.
Page 261
Tightening Technology | Bosch Rexroth AG 261/279 3 608 870 A47 Torque monitoring (T–, T+) is used for error recognition. Their advantages include recognition of: • Lot jumps in bolts and components • defective bolts and components. In this process, the bolt is stretched beyond its yield point until it plastically deforms. Re-usability of the bolt is limited due to lasting cross-section constriction.
