RECOMMENDATION FUNCTION
{ Three-Step Fastening
P After presetting the fastening sequence (SET SEQUENCE Section 7.5) to perform
a two-step fastening, the System fastening parameters (PARAMETER SET
Section 7.1) must be configured according to the Engineered fastening
specification.
P Two-step fastening will be used primarily for joints that have a requirement to
synchronize with another spindle during the final stage of the rundown.
Examples: Connecting rod, main bearing cap, any multiple-spindle unit.
P The System will fasten to the 1st TORQUE/ANGLE during the specified 1ST STEP
time. Once either SPEED CHANGE TORQUE or 1st TORQUE/ANGLE is
reached, the System will switch to the specified TORQUE SPEED (Section 6.3).
When all fasteners have reached 1st TORQUE/ANGLE, the spindles will
synchronize and rotate simultaneously the specified number of degrees from
THRESHOLD 2 TORQUE to FINAL ANGLE within the specified FINAL STEP time.
