FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Allows torque wrenches to be calibrated or tested in accordance with BS EN 26789:2003, ISO 6789-1:2017 and ISO 6789-2:2017.

Counterbalance reaction is designed to support the weight of the wrench so that the weight does not become a parasitic force within the calibration system. The floating nature of the support means that the wrench is able to find its own natural level rather than being constrained as in many other loading devices. Any such constraint will be a parasitic force within the system. (Patents apply).

Lightweight alloy construction ensures the TWC is easily transported, making it well suited for mobile laboratory applications.

Rotating transducer design ensures that the load is applied 90 to the torque wrench handle. The benefit of this precise alignment is that forces are applied squarely to the load point of the handle.

Supplied with a powerful yet simple touchscreen User Interface (UI) (keyboard and mouse also supported if desired).

Flexible tool template system; minimises number of templates required to cover a wide range of tools, aiding efficient use.

Programmable calibration workflow for each template, can be pre-set to ISO compliant flow for the given tool for a faster set-up or can also support bespoke workflows.

Calibration job management; book calibrations, track progress of previous bookings and resume them.

Automated management of calibration and conformance workflows for non-indicating tools.

Intelligent rate control system ensures fast cycling of tools while maintaining compliance with 2017 standards.

Environmental monitoring (humidity/temperature) to ensure compliance with calibration standards.

Automated management of uncertainty data for ISO 6789-2:2017 calibrations, guiding the user through the process using dynamically generated instructions based on the current tools ISO classification and workflow.

Inbuilt data analysis and certification generation seamlessly move from calibration/conformance procedure to certificate generation, no third-party software required.

A substantial amount of inbuilt storage allowing for several years' worth of calibration data through normal use.

6. Connect USB Keyboard & Mouse (Optional) Connect keyboard to 1 of the 6 USB connectors. Connect mouse to 1 of the 6 USB connectors.

7. Counter Balance Reaction Post Installation Your TWC has been delivered with the reaction counter balance wheel assembly unattached to the reaction assembly. This has been done to prevent damage to this assembly during transit.

FIGURE 8 Disassembled Counter Balance Reaction Post Assembly

10

Place the counter balance wheel onto the top plate of the reaction assembly.

FIGURE 9 Lining up the Counter Balance Reaction Wheel

Attach the counter balance wheel assembly with the two M4 socket cap screws from the underside of the top plate of the reaction assembly. Tighten to 1 Nm.

FIGURE 10 Attaching the Counter Balance Reaction Wheel Assemble the weight carriage over the balance wheel.

FIGURE 11 Counter Balance Reaction Assembly Slide the Counter Balance Reaction Post Assembly on to the reaction rail. NOTE: Shown for clockwise calibration, mount the opposite way for anti-clockwise calibration.

FIGURE 12 Sliding the Counter Balance Reaction Assembly onto the Reaction Rail

11

Set the locking lever to engage positively when applied. This is done by pulling the lever towards you whilst at the same time winding in the screw with an appropriate screwdriver. When at top dead centre, the lever should start to engage to lock the reaction posts position. Turn the lever to the right and you should start to feel some resistance as the lock is engaged. Before continuing check the reaction post assembly is securely fixed in position.

FIGURE 13 Adjusting and Setting the Locking Lever

8. Mount Transducer (not supplied with TWC) Select the correct capacity transducer and secure to the platform.

FMT Transducer Directly mount with 3 fixings. Torque settings are 25 Nm for 400 and 85 Nm for 1500.

FIGURE 14 Fitting an FMT Transducer To save time when using multiple FMT transducers use the optional FMT quick release kit (Part number 60322) first (see page 75).

Static Transducer Use optional static transducer kit ((Part number 60318) see page 73). Place static transducer male square into the TWC. Use optional adaptors (Part number 29214, 29215, 29216, 29217) as required (see page 73); to reduce uncertainties these adaptors have been manufactured to close fit tolerances. Place support over transducer and secure to TWC with socket cap screws provided.

9. Connect Power

WARNING: CHECK THAT THE POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS TO THE VOLTAGE ON THE TWC RATING PLATE.

WARNING: THE TWC MUST BE EARTHED

ENSURE POWER SUPPLY HAS AN EARTH DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT AN EARTH

WARNING: FOR OPERATOR SAFETY ENSURE THE MAINS SUPPLY HAS A RESIDUAL

CURRENT DEVICE (RCD). TEST THE RCD REGULARLY. Connect plug to local mains supply. TIP: Use of a Different Local Supply Socket:

Should a different plug be required, the mains cable colours are:

BROWN-LIVE BLUE-NEUTRAL GREEN/YELLOW-EARTH

The new plug must have a ground (EARTH) connection. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

If the plug has an internal fuse, a 2 amp value is recommended.

13

10. Turn TWC on Turn on mains supply. Hold down the power pushbutton (See Figure 2.3 page 7) on the front until it lights up red. Whilst you do this, the TWC will begin the power-on process. When the process is complete, you will see the main TWC menu, as shown below:

At this point the TWC is fully powered but the motor electronics are not engaged. To do so, press the motor enable pushbutton (See Figure 4.1 page 7). The button should glow blue and remain glowing. If the button turns off after pressing it, check the emergency stop (See Figure 2.2 page 7) is not depressed, as this will disable the motor electronics.

11. Turn TWC Off The TWC can be turned off via the power icon on the main menu. Press the power icon and press the shut down button in the confirmation pop-up.

14

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Locating a Torque Wrench

Ensure the TWC Guard is lowered.

Use lowest capacity transducer to cover the range of the torque wrench to be tested. NOTE: For a wrench with a push through ratchet, ensure the drive square is operating on the

correct side of the ratchet. Ensure the transducer has been fitted with the correct adaptor and place the torque wrench drive into the transducer. Ensure that the torque wrench drive is fully engaged (see Figure 15).

FIGURE 15 Attaching a Torque Wrench Set the reaction post position on the reaction arm so it is in the middle of the torque wrench handle (see Figure 16).

Use counter balance reaction (supplied) or optional short reaction post (Part number 60319) to suit wrench to be tested.

FIGURE 16 Locating a Torque Wrench

Counter balance the wrench by adding weights to the carriage until the wrench is sat horizontally.

FIGURE 17 Adding Weights to the Counter Balance Reaction Assembly

15

If you push the reaction balancer up or down at the handle end the wrench should return to a true natural horizontal position.

FIGURE 18 Ensuring the Torque Wrench is in a Horizontal Position Ensure the TWC is at the extreme minimum of start position (see Figure 19). The two dots to the edge of the bearing housing denote the full travel. To get to the adjustment screen shown in Figure 19 you will first need to ensure both a tool and template have been added (see pages 40 through to 49), from there you can access the adjustment screen by selecting a tool and pressing the adjustment screen icon (see page 49).

FIGURE 19 Making Sure the TWC is in the Home Position Make sure the Guard is in position over the tool before loading.

16

Exit TWC User Interface To perform initial setup of a TWC, or to change certain system-level settings, it may be necessary to leave the TWC user interface. To exit the TWC UI, use the power button on the main menu and select Exit to Desktop.

17

Changing the Default Password The TWC is supplied with a default user password (NorbarTWC) which you should change for your security. Once you change this, make sure you do not forget it; you may need to send the TWC back for service if it is forgotten. NOTE: To change the default password you will need to connect a USB keyboard to the TWC. To set your own password, exit the TWC UI as described in the previous section, then open the menu bar and select Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration

Next, type in the default password (NorbarTWC) in the password prompt.

18

Then in the window that appears, on the System tab, select Change Password and follow the onscreen prompts to set a password of your own.

19

Timezone Setup The TWC requires accurate timezone settings to keep time properly. NOTE: To change the timezone and locale, you will need to connect a USB keyboard to the TWC. To set/check the timezone, close the TWC UI and open the Raspberry Pi Configuration panel as shown in the Exit TWC UI section, and click the Localisation tab to view and change the timezone and locale. You will be asked to select your language and country (please note: the language setting has no effect on the TWC UI, which at time of writing is available in English only).

NOTE: When you change timezone, the system time will change to suit; it may take up to a minute

for this change to take effect in the menu bar or on the TWC UI. Set the timezone and wait for changes to occur before trying to adjust the system time.

20

Time Setup Ideally, setting the timezone is enough to ensure correct time as the time is set at the factory. If, however, the time is still wrong, or if in the future you need to adjust the time, close the TWC UI as shown in the Exit TWC UI section, then open the menu bar and go to Preferences > Settings.

In the window that appears, select Date & Time to change the time.

21

Toggle Automatic Date & Time to OFF and tap the Date & Time field to make changes.

NOTE: It may take up to a minute for the new time to take effect in the menu bar or on the TWC UI.

22

Configuring the Network The TWC has an Ethernet socket which allows you to connect it to a network for printing to network printers. When setting up printers an Internet connection via this network is also necessary. The TWC is configured to automatically seek the correct network connection settings via DHCP; when you plug the network cable into the TWC, it will immediately request these settings. Once assigned there should be nothing else to do; the TWC is properly connected. NOTE: You do not need to connect to a network if you do not intend to use a network printer, but

you may still need to connect it temporarily while setting up a USB printer, such that any necessary drivers can be acquired during the printer setup process.

NOTE: You will need a USB keyboard if you intend to edit network configuration. NOTE: You can test for Internet connectivity by opening the web browser and trying to access a

website. If the website loads, the TWC has Internet access. NOTE: Some businesses have policies against connecting unknown devices to the network.

Ensure your IT department is aware of your intention to connect the TWC to the network. You may also need their assistance to grant the TWC internet access or even access to the network itself; whether this is the case depends on your company networks configuration and policies.

If DHCP services are not provided by your network, or are not what you need or want the TWC to use, then you must provide your own. This section demonstrates how to change the network configuration if necessary. First, close the TWC UI as shown in the Exit TWC UI section. Then, open the menu bar, and choose Preferences > Settings.

23

Now Click Network Configuration to open the network configuration panel.

The panel will show the current network state. You should see something like the below if a network cable is connected. Ensure the Wired connection is selected, as shown here, and press the settings icon in the bottom right to open the network settings panel.

24

Under the IPv4 tab, change the Addresses drop-down setting from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual as shown here, then type in your desired settings using the USB keyboard:

For most networks you are unlikely to need to change any other settings in this window than enter the IPv4 Address, Netmask, Gateway and DNS. You will either already know what you want these to be, or your IT department can advise.

25

Printer Setup The TWC supports printing directly to a printer attached via either USB or remotely via Ethernet. Alternatively, if no printer is available, documents can be printed as PDF files. NOTE: To add a printer you will need to connect a USB keyboard to the TWC. Network connectivity

is required to allow the TWC to search for and attempt to download driver packages for printers when setting up. Network printers will not be visible if the TWC isnt on the network.

To add a printer, close the TWC UI as shown in the Exit TWC UI section, then open the menu bar and go to Preferences > Print Settings

26

In the window that appears, click Add to add a printer.

Enter your password (default is NorbarTWC) to unlock the printer selection screen.

In the left-hand list will appear a USB-attached printer if currently connected. Beneath this, under the Network Printer drop-down menu, network printers will appear as and when the TWC finds them (this may take several seconds).

27

Add a printer by selecting it and clicking Forward to follow the on-screen prompts.

28

Select a driver for the printer (its generally best to go with recommended drivers). Press Forward each time when ready to proceed. NOTE: Some printers, for example HP printers, may have special driver packages that add or

otherwise enhance compatibility with their printers.

29

Enter a friendly name for the printer if you wish (otherwise it will select a default name for you). When you click Apply, you will need to enter the system password again (default is NorbarTWC).

At this point the printer is added and you can print a test page. The printer will appear as an option when printing certificates or declarations of conformance from the TWC UI.

30

Settings The settings menu lets users customise document headers (like company name, logo and address), change sensitivity of the peak detection algorithm, backup, restore or erase the database or enter calibration data for the TWC and currently attached transducer. NOTE: Before using any transducer to perform jobs on tools with the TWC, you must provide the

TWC with information from the calibration certificate. If you do not do this you will be interrupted and asked to provide the data. See Loader Calibration for details.

The settings menu comprises a table of all settings categories and a selection of larger buttons for the most common ones at the top. You may use either the table or the buttons as you please.

31

Database This menu allows the TWC data store to be backed up to, or restored from, a USB memory stick. It also allows the data to be erased.

Data comprises:

Tools and tool templates

Jobs and documents produced from completed jobs

Uncertainty data

Settings are not considered data and therefore are not affected by backup, restore, or erasure options. To perform a backup or restore, simply insert a USB memory stick, wait a few seconds, and select the desired option. NOTE: You may see a popup window appear when inserting a memory stick. Simply tap cancel,

or tap on the TWC UI behind it, to drop back to the TWC interface. NOTE: Memory sticks are best formatted in FAT32, and should not have more than one partition. NOTE: You may back up as many times as you wish to a USB stick, but do not restore from a

stick that contains multiple backups; whilst it will work, you will not have control over which backup is selected and restored.

NOTE: Restoration is a destructive process; all data already on the TWC will be removed to make

way for the backup.

32

General Settings This menu lets you configure settings relating to the loading of setting and indicating tools. It also provides a means to observe and reset the lubrication cycle counter (how many cycles remain until the TWC should be lubricated) and a means to save a debug log in the event of any issues requiring support from Norbar.

The First Peak Sensitivity setting lets you choose how big of a torque peak must be observed before its taken as a legitimate first peak reading. If the TWC does not appear to detect the click of your setting tool, try reducing this setting to a smaller value. Conversely, if the TWC is detecting false peaks, try raising this setting so the TWC only pays attention to larger changes in torque. The default value is 5. The Lubrication Counter keeps track of how many cycles the TWCs loading mechanism has undergone since the mechanism was last lubricated. If the counter ever reaches the 10,000 cycle limit, you will see reminders to lubricate the TWC every time you load a job task or the adjustment screen. To reset the lubrication counter, lubricate the mechanism according to the Greasing Procedure outlined in this manual and press Reset Counter. Peak Mode: Home To Zero allows the TWC to home to a zero-torque state when finishing a cycle of an indicating tool, as opposed to homing all the way to the limit of the loading mechanism. Enabling Home To Zero can speed up cycling by avoiding superfluous movement of the mechanism when working with indicating tools. On-Zero Stop Delay controls how long the TWC motor keeps moving after reaching a zero-torque state during a Home To Zero operation. You can adjust this value if there is not enough slack (or too much slack) left in the mechanism when the operation has completed. Verbose Logging turns on extra debug logging that can help if you encounter problems when operating the TWC and need to contact support. In normal operation this should be turned off. If a problem occurs, you can turn it on, repeat the scenario that caused the problem, then save a debug log to send off for investigation. To save a debug log, insert a USB stick, wait a few seconds, and press save debug log. If you contact Norbar for support, you may be asked to do this in order to help diagnose any issues.

33

Loader Calibration In order to produce calibration and conformance certificates, the TWC must know about its own calibration state. This is managed here. In this screen you can input calibration data from both the TWC and the currently attached transducers calibration certificates. You will need to do this for every transducer you plug into the TWC, but you only need to do this once (at least, until recalibration is required).

The screen is split into the following areas: 1. Direction buttons: use these to view TWC calibration state for CW and CCW directions.

2. Recalibration window: when this many days have passed, the TWCs calibration will be considered

invalid. You may change this value to suit your obligation to systematically review the calibration state of your TWC, per ISO 6789. The default value is 730 days, which is two years.

3. Transducer data: The left side of the screen is where you enter data for the transducer; the calibration date from the certificate, the calibrated bottom of scale, the cert number and lab number, and the uncertainty data from the transducer.

4. TWC data: The right side of the screen is where you enter data for the TWC; here you can enter the cert number, and rig uncertainty data from the TWC calibration certificate. You need only fill in these fields if you are using an instrument-calibrated TWC and there is no overriding system calibration for the currently attached transducer. The TWC model, serial, sys cal, inst cal, and cal state fields are automatic and not editable.

34

How to Fill in Loader Calibration Page The TWC has two main calibration states: system calibration and instrument calibration. A system calibration is where the TWC and the transducer have been calibrated as a matched pair (a system). In this case, we do not need any data from a TWC calibration certificate as it is all provided by the transducer certificate. To have a valid system calibration, the TWC must have been system calibrated with the currently attached transducer, and you must fill in:

Transducer cert number and lab number

Transducer cal date

Transducer bottom of scale

Transducer uncertainty data (see How to fill in uncertainty data)

An instrument calibration is where the TWC and the transducer were calibrated separately. In this case, we need data for both devices, such that their calibration information can be combined. To have a valid instrument calibration, the TWC must have been instrument calibrated, the transducer must have been calibrated, and you must fill in:

Transducer cert number and lab number

Transducer cal date

Transducer bottom of scale

Transducer uncertainty data

TWC cert number

TWC rig uncertainty data (see How to fill in uncertainty data)

NOTE: Do not change transducers while within the settings menu. The TWC will not re-enumerate

it and you risk corrupting the calibration state of the TWC-TD combination if you change any loader calibration fields after having changed the transducer. If you wish to change transducer, first leave the loader calibration menu, then leave the settings menu entirely, then re-open it from the main menu. The TWC will then detect the new transducer.

NOTE: Always ensure the serial number of the transducer shown in the Current TD Serial field

matches that of the transducer you are trying to enter data for. If it does not, try leaving the loader calibration menu, leaving the settings menu and re-opening it from the main menu again.

35

How to Fill in Uncertainty Data 1. Refer to the final page of your TWC/transducer calibration; the page should be titled Expression of

Uncertainties

For Transducers: On the Expression of Uncertainties page, you should see a table like the following (shown here, an example for a 400 Nm transducer):

Expanded uncertainty k=2.0 Uncertainty interval k=2.0

At 20.00 Nm 0.15% 0.38%

At 40.00 Nm 0.12% 0.18%

At 80.00 Nm 0.099% 0.11%

At 160.00 Nm 0.087% 0.11%

At 240.00 Nm 0.087% 0.13%

At 320.00 Nm 0.084% 0.12%

At 400.00 Nm 0.084% 0.11%

First, fill in the BOS Expanded and BOS Interval values for the bottom of scale; these come from the expanded uncertainty and the uncertainty interval at the very lowest reading, in this case 20 Nm. That means the BOS Expanded field is 0.15% and the BOS Interval field is 0.38%. Next fill in the 5% Expanded and 5% Interval fields using the readings at 5% of transducer capacity. In this case, this is the same as the BOS Expanded and BOS Interval values, because in our example, the transducers bottom of scale is 5%. Repeat the same procedure for the 10% fields using the readings at 10% of transducer capacity (in this case, the Expanded field is 0.12% and the Interval field is 0.18%) For the final two fields, we need to select the worst-case (largest) expanded uncertainty of the remaining transducer range equal to and above 20% of transducer capacity, and its corresponding uncertainty interval. This is usually the next field on from the 10% readings anyway, and indeed this is the case in our example: therefore, the Expanded field should be 0.099% and the Interval field should be 0.11%.

For the TWC (If Instrument Calibrated): On the TWC certificates expression of uncertainties, you should see the following (shown here, an example for a TWC):

At 0.50mV Is 0.20% k=2.0

At 1.00mV Is 0.13% k=2.0

At 2.00mV to 11.00mV Is 0.11% k=2.0

The percentages here tally up with the mV values, so 0.50mV is the 5% value, 1.00mV is 10%, and so on. Enter all three percentage values from the table in the 5%, 10% and 20% fields respectively. In this example, the 5% Expanded field is 0.20%, the 10% Expanded field is 0.13%, and the 20% Expanded field is 0.11%. IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL YOU ENTER THE CORRECT VALUES IN THESE

FIELDS. DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE. IF YOU DO NOT ENTER THE CORRECT VALUES, ANY CALIBRATIONS OR CONFORMANCE JOBS PERFORMED BY THE TWC MAY BE RENDERED INVALID.

Certificate Settings This menu lets you configure the content of the calibration and conformance documents produced by the TWC. You can change the company address, the logo, and customise the certificate numbering scheme.

Next Calibration / Next Conformance number: for traceability, each calibration or conformance document is numbered, with the number increasing every time one is produced. You can set or change that number here for both types of document. Cal/Conf Number Format: This allows you to specify a more elaborate numbering scheme than just a flat number by using format modifiers and text of your choosing: %N insert the calibration/conformance number. This is the default setting. Output will be 1, 2, 3 etc. %Y Insert the current year (lowercast %y enters short year, i.e. 18 for 2018) %m Insert the current month %m Insert the current day You can combine these with other text to produce more elaborate numbering. For instance: %Y-CAL-%N Will produce: 2018-CAL-1, 2018-CAL-2, 2018-CAL-3, etc. When you save the format, you will see a preview of the output to be placed on the next document.

37

Company logo & Additional logo; this lets you change the logo from the default Norbar logo to one of your choosing, and to add an additional secondary logo if you wish. To do this, you must first place an image of your logo in the necessary folder: ~/.twc_logo To do this:

Attach a USB keyboard to the TWC (and optionally, a mouse)

Close the TWC UI using the power icon on the main menu and pressing Exit to Desktop.

Open the file manager; it should start in the user home folder by default

In the address bar, add .twc_logo to the end of the path and press Enter to jump to the .twc_logo folder (as shown below)

Copy your logo file in here (for instance, by copying it off a USB memory stick), making note of the file name. You can copy and paste a file by right-clicking it with a mouse and clicking copy or paste, or by highlighting it with the touchscreen and using Edit > Copy or Edit > Paste in the file manager menu, or by highlighting it with the touchscreen and using CTRL+C and CTRL+V on the keyboard.

Restart the TWC UI by double-clicking the TWC icon on the desktop

Go back to Settings > Certificate Settings and enter the name of the logo file, keeping the leading / at the start, as shown below:

38

NOTE: Your logo file should ideally not be larger than 400x160px or the document layout may be

affected. Use the existing norbarlogo.png file for a good size reference. NOTE: PNG and JPEG formats are supported. PNG is a lossless format which makes it a great

choice for storing company logos, and is the recommended choice. Headers and Extra Text Fields; The header fields are shown at the top of the certificate, next to the logo, and by default contain the company address. The extra text field appears above the results table if it is used and can contain anything you choose (though it should be brief, so as not to overrun the document with text and cause any layout issues). NOTE: Any changes made in the Certificate Settings menu will not take effect until the next

document is created. You cannot change documents which have already been created.

TWC Usage Overview The TWC menu structure is data-centric and designed to follow the logical process of calibrating a tool from start to finish. The process for calibrating a tool is as follows: Define a tool template (i.e. a torque wrench model) > Add a tool based on that template > Book a job for that tool (describe what you are going to do, i.e. calibration) > Perform the job > Produce documentation.

Templates The TWC represents a tool using a tool template. The template defines a tools model, supported units and capacities, physical configuration modifiers like extensions, removable end fittings, square or hex drives, and the calibration and conformance workflow. Before adding a tool to the TWC, you must select or create an appropriate template for it. You can access the templates menu via the main menu, the settings menu, or even the tools menu (when you try to add a new tool, you will be invited to visit the templates screen to select or create a template). Every tool requires a template, but a template can be used for more than one tool. For example, if you are calibrating 20x identical tools of same make, model and configuration, you should add them all under the same template. This is necessary if you plan to calibrate large quantities of identical tools and wish to gather uncertainty data for statistical analysis to speed up the process. NOTE: Always use a specific template that accurately describes a tool. Do not create generic

templates when using the TWC to calibrate tools. Only identical tools, with the same physical configuration (i.e. end fitting/extension) can share a template; otherwise, the results produced for ISO 6789-2:2017 calibrations may not be accurate.

Tools Tools can be added in the tools menu, which is accessible from the main menu. When you add a tool, you will be asked to jump to the templates menu to create/select a template to use, and then enter a serial number. However, you can also copy an existing tool by selecting it before pressing the add button; in this case, you will be asked if you want to create another of those tools and only need to provide the serial number. This lets you quickly add several tools with identical serial numbers.

Jobs Once you have created a tool, you can book a job for it via the Jobs menu, or the Jobs shortcut on the tools menu. A job tells the TWC what you wish to do with the tool; You may select between ISO 6789 Conformance or Calibration tasks, pick directions, specify whether taking readings as-found or as-left or both, select your desired units, and make adjustments to the calibration workflow. Once booked, the TWC will track the progress and automatically mark the job as completed when appropriate. Simply follow the list of tasks and complete each one to complete the job. You do not need to finish one job before booking and starting another, but each tool can only have one active job at a time. This allows you to book jobs for multiple tools in preparation to perform them later. However, if you start taking torque readings for a job you have booked, you should finish that job before doing anything else. The Jobs menu lists all jobs in the database. You can open up incomplete jobs to review the settings or continue work, or retrieve the job certificate/declaration for completed jobs, for example if you needed to reprint an old certificate. For ISO 6789-2:2017 calibration, the TWC automatically tracks and manages the uncertainty data necessary for statistically determining uncertainties. If you have sufficient data (at least 10x specimens of identical tools using the same tool template), you will be able to skip gathering the uncertainty data and just perform the calibration workflow. This dramatically speeds up the calibration process.

After starting a task, you will land on the task summary screen, as shown below. This screen lets you review key information about the job and task as well as the progress made so far. You will see a list of work required to complete the task in a table at the bottom of the screen. Shown here is the list for a part 2 calibration of a tool that has an adapter and square-drive rotating end fitting. The work required for each task will differ depending on tool ISO classification, job type (conformance or calibration) and tool configuration. To complete the task, simply select a work item from the table. The PLAY button will appear in the left-hand menu; press it to perform the work. NOTE: Once an item of work is completed, it will be marked as complete in the Acquired

column with a white tick. You are free to repeat work which is already completed if you see fit; if you do, the data generated will replace the previous one. In the case of part 2 calibrations, the TWC automatically manages the uncertainty data. Once enough data has been gathered, you no longer need to gather more as the TWC can perform statistical analysis of previously calibrated tool specimens instead. If enough uncertainty data has been gathered, the Acquired column will show orange tick marks for the uncertainty work items; if this happens, you only need to complete the calibration work item (Index 4.2, as shown below) in order to generate a calibration certificate.

NOTE: The tables Index column refers to the specific section in the ISO 6789:2017 standard

which that work pertains to.

Select an item in the table, press Play and follow any on screen instructions. Once youve selected work to perform, you will arrive at the cycling screen (shown on page 52). This screen will guide you through the data collection process; simply follow its instructions until the work is complete. The instructions will vary depending on tool ISO classification, job type, tool configuration, and the currently selected work item. Work items are split into stages. Instructions normally occur in between these stages and tell you what to do to get ready for the next stage. For instance, an instruction might tell you to set the tool to a specific target, or to remove the tool, rotate the drive square by 90 degrees, and refit it. The instructions will appear in the form of popup messages. When they appear, you can confirm you have performed what was requested, or cancel the work and return to the task summary screen. If the instruction appears in between stages, you will also be given an opportunity to retry the previous stage, if you wish.

52

For Setting Tools: Follow the instructions as they appear; the TWC will gather readings for you.

For Indicating Tools: Follow the instructions as they appear, then use the on-screen controls to gather the readings. You will need to use this screen to load the tool manually because the TWC cannot automatically read a wrench which produces no variation of output on the transducer (by comparison, a setting tool may produce a click, which can be detected by the TWC). Despite this, the TWC can, at your request, automatically apply 80% of the target torque to an indicating tool, at which point you may take over to reach the target value and take a reading.

Press the back arrow if you wish to cancel the work and return to the task summary screen.

Adjustment Screen The adjustment screen is for experimenting with and adjusting tools. Use the controls to load the tool and take readings as you see fit. You may access the adjustment screen by:

Selecting a tool on the tools page and pressing the button to load the adjustment page

On the task summary page, when no work is selected to perform In the latter case, you might use the adjustment screen after having completed an as-found task on a tool and deciding that the tool is badly adjusted. You can then perform adjustment using the adjustment screen, before finishing the job with an as-left task. NOTE: To know in advance whether you ought to book a job with both as-found and as-left tasks,

or just as-found, you may also use the adjustment screen to quickly test a tool beforehand. If it seems like the tool is well adjusted, you may not need to book an as-left task for the job. If it seems like the tool is performing poorly, it will likely perform poorly in the as-found calibration or conformance, and so you can book an as-left in anticipation of it needing adjustment.

The main areas of the screen are as follows: 1. Transducer summary: the currently attached transducer serial and capacity.

2. Last cycle result: the time duration of the final 20% of the cycle, and the torque reading.

3. Environment data: temperature and humidity

4. Motor control and status dial: Jog (short arrows) and home (long arrows) the TWC mechanism in

either direction, or stop the motor moving. The centre of the dial shows the current direction of motion if the mechanism is moving, the current X out of Y cycles completed if performing continuous cycles, and

the current motor speed. The dials inner circumference is a graphical representation of the single or multiple cycle work to be completed and will gradually fill up until the rig is finished.

NOTE: The direction buttons rotate the transducer mechanism; for instance, the clockwise

arrows will spin the transducer clockwise. Because of this, to build clockwise torque, the mechanism needs to rotate anticlockwise.

5. Target torque slider: Drag up and down with your finger or a mouse to quickly set a target up to 120%

of the current tools capacity in the current units.

NOTE: If you need more precision than the slider allows, tap the target torque slider to open an input window and enter your desired target. The slider will jump to the correct setting.

6. Cycle and transducer dial: The center of this dial shows the current torque value and direction in the selected units. To cycle between available units, tap or click the unit inside the dial. The dials inner circumference is a graphical representation of live transducer torque represented as a percentage of the currently set target. It will fill up clockwise (or anti-clockwise) depending on the current torque seen on the transducer. If a torque peak is detected, the flash ring within it will flash. NOTE: You can only cycle between units which are defined in the current tools template; in

order to toggle units on the adjustment screen, at least two units must be defined in the template.

Click to initiate a single cycle of a setting tool. Click to initiate a multi-cycle run. Click to change the direction between clockwise and anti-clockwise cycles. NOTE: When changing direction, the TWC will want to move the mechanism to an

appropriate position. Ensure there is no tool installed on the TWC before allowing this to happen.

7. Target setpoints and rate control: these are a set of shortcuts to quickly jump to commonly used targets, and a button to disable or enable rate control. If rate control is disabled, readings may not be accurate to the 6789 standard, but will be quicker to perform. Press the custom button to open the same target input window used by the torque target slider (5) and enter a more precise target.

8. Cycle limit settings: change the number of cycles the TWC will automatically perform in a row when using the multiple-cycle button on the cycle and transducer dial (6). Press the custom button to enter your own value if it is not shown on the setting bar .

9. Cycle Speed, Stop Point, Peak mode, Zero and Back buttons: The Cycle Speed button (A) lets you adjust how quickly the TWC loads a tool. Reduce it if you encounter overshoot or are working with very small targets, or increase to speed up cycles. The Stop Point button (B) lets you adjust where the TWC will stop when working with indicating tools (see Adjustment Screen with Indicating Tools for more details). The Peak Mode button (C) toggles the UI between modes appropriate for indicating or setting tools (you will see the icon change according to the mode you are in). You generally should not need to use this button; the correct mode is already chosen for you based on the currently selected tool, which in turn is derived from its ISO classification in the tool template. The Zero button (D) reads the currently attached transducers settings (capacity, serial, etc) and zeroes it. The Back button (E) will return to the previous screen. NOTE: Anytime you change transducers whilst on the adjustment screen, you should first

press the ZERO button before continuing, to pick up the changes.

66

Adjustment screen with Indicating Tools If you are using an indicating tool, or if you use the peak mode button to change modes manually, the adjustment screen will look like the below. Note that some areas of the UI are now disabled compared to the previous screenshot, and the Stop Point button (B) is now enabled in the side bar. Furthermore, the Peak Mode icon has changed to reflect that we are in Peak Mode, for indicating tools.

In this case, the last cycle results (2) are disabled (as indicating tools do not mark attainment of target torque in a way that the TWC can detect, such as by clicking) and the cycle limit settings (8) are disabled (the TWC cannot automatically cycle indicating tools because it cannot detect when the target is reached on the tool). Similarly, this means multiple cycles are not supported for indicating tools, therefore the continuous-cycle button behaves the same as the single-cycle button in Peak Mode. The adjustment screen works exactly the same as it does for setting tools, except for the cycle and transducer dial; here, both the single and multiple cycle buttons initiate an auto-load sequence to the Stop Point setting, which is a percentage of the currently set target torque (typically 80%). You can adjust this point by pressing the Stop Point button (B) and entering a new percentage. Once loading up to the stop point has occurred, the user may continue to load the tool using the manual motor controls until the tool indicates the target torque is attained, then use the home button to complete the cycle.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: ENSURE THE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE.

For optimum performance and safety, regular tool maintenance is required. User maintenance is described in and should be carried out in accordance with this section. Any other maintenance or repairs should be carried out by Norbar or a Norbar approved distributor. Maintenance intervals will depend on the TWC usage and the environment in which it is being used. The maximum recommended maintenance and recalibration interval is 12 months.

Daily Checks It is recommended that the overall condition of the TWC is checked before use:

Check power cord for damage replace if faulty.

Ensure PAT test is within date.

Test the external Residual Current Device (RCD) in the mains supply (if fitted).

Ensure TWC is clean - DO NOT use abrasives or solvent based cleaners.

Ensure fan and ventilation slots are clean and dust free. If cleaned with compressed air please wear eye protection.

Free run TWC to both home positions to ensure operation is smooth and quiet.

Ensure transducer is within recalibration.

Torque Calibration Your TWC has been supplied with a certificate of calibration. To maintain the specified accuracy it is recommended that the TWC is recalibrated at least once per year. Recalibration should be carried out at Norbar or by a Norbar approved distributor, where all the facilities are available to ensure that the instrument is functioning at maximum accuracy.

Temperature & Humidity Accuracy The TWC is supplied with a sensor for measuring temperature & humidity. It is recommended to check the accuracy of the sensor at least once per year. Accuracy testing should be completed by a testing facility with the relevant equipment. A faulty sensor should be exchanged for a new unit.

68

Greasing Procedure The TWC is engineered to be a low maintenance tool. Under normal operation maintenance is not required, however, at 6 monthly intervals or after 10,000 applications (whichever comes sooner) it is recommended that the unit is greased as described in this section. Use TWC Greasing Kit, Part number: 60325 1. Ensure that the TWC drive wheel is in the Home position
