RECOMMENDATION FUNCTION
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 (connecting
rod, main bearing cap and any other multiple-spindle unit, for example).
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 then rotate simultaneously the specified number of degrees from
THRESHOLD 2 TORQUE to FINAL ANGLE within the specified FINAL STEP time.
