TORQUE CONTROL DEVICE FOR PULSE TOOLS AND METHOD OF MONITORING TORQUE FOR PULSE TOOLS
20200238486 · 2020-07-30 ·

A non-intrusive torque control device for pulse tools, and a method of monitoring torque of pulse tools include steps of establishing a characteristic curve (FIG. 6) specify relation of revolution-per-minute (or BPM) with output torques for a specific pulse tool. Then establish another relationship curve (FIG. 7) specify operational factors (such as supply air pressure) with revolutions-per-minute (or BPM) for the same pulse tool at calibration stage. Those two curves and threshold are stored in flash memory of BPM detector (part of torque control system). The BPM detector is attached on the surface of pulse tool at nearby of impact mechanism. When fastening a bolt, at tightening stage while the impact reach the threshold stored in memory of BPM detector then start monitoring. This is a complete close loop torque control exclusive for pulse tool only. Target torque can be pre-set manually or automatically if a wireless control proportional valve is available connected to air source. In other word, impact mechanism inside pulse tool is same as install single or double hammer Increase BPM (rpm) of impact mechanism has the same effect as increase hammer knocked speed and has been proven by characteristic curve (FIG. 6).
