DEA40-700 Ingersoll Rand 40 Series D.C. Tool Control Module

The Ingersoll-Rand TMAD Series DC Electric Torque Management Systems are easy to use stand-alone monitoring and control consoles that operate Ingersoll-Rand DC tools and nutrunners.

The IR TMAD units measure applied torque and rotation for single or multiple fastener applications. They utilize a microprocessor-based computing system to monitor, control, and record data from a strain gauge transducer and digital angle encoder. Peak values for each fastening joint and the statistical data for each spindle are stored in the processor. This information is displayed on the screen or can be generated in hard copy format on a printer. The TMAD units can also be polled by a personal computer or other host.

The four-line, forty-characters per line window display provides clear, concise readings, as well as prompting messages for the user. The system “asks” for data during the set-up mode and then leads the user through step-by-step diagnostic procedures providing convenient instructions for keypad use. It enables the user to move through a calibration procedure with ease, and lists all possible print commands for hard copy report. When not in use, it displays the status of the last run-torque, angle, and pass/fail condition.

All data, including performance parameters, calendar and time of day, and history for approximately the last 5,000 cycles is automatically stored in memory, even during a power failure or interruption.

Seven different hard copy reports can be generated through the standard serial printer port. Capability for three additional reports can be added as an option.

Capable of multiple sets of parameters referred to as “programs” or “configurations”, eight for the single spindle system, or the two spindle system set-up as a one machine unit, or 4 each for the two spindle system acting independently.

System provides 6 month battery back-up for the RAM memory to save data parameters and statistics and a non-volatile (EEPROM) memory for saving serial port baud rate parity, LCD display viewing angle, volume level of sounder, spindle count and language.

Shut-down signals are generated not only when a system health check fails but also when input parameters are not met or when invalid information is entered into the system.

IR TMAD units accommodate the following control modes: Torque Control, with or without angle monitoring; Angle Control, indicating the turn of the nut; Pre-Torque Control, which is synchronized in two-spindle units; Combined Torque and Angle Control with Slope Monitor; and Tube Nut Control, with indexing capability.

A password can be required to data entry , if desired. No password is required for displaying performance parameters or data.

Users can perform fifteen various diagnostic checks to determine proper operation of the keypad, display window, sound alert, calendar/clock, communication ports, external lamps, control inputs, control outputs, internal analog converter, and encoder inputs.

IR TMAD units log a full range of information and maintain cycle log histories of up to 5.000 cycles for 1 spindle unit or 2500 cycles for 2 spindle units. Logging capabilities include: End of Cycle Reports, consisting of operation audit trails with time, date, year, run number, and pass/fail information, as well as torque and angle readings. This report can include up to four extra variables that were also measured in the process. Exception Reports, virtually the same as end of cycle reports, but with only the faulty runs listed. Statistical Reports, in two variations: one for the total population and another for the programmed cycle size, usually based on the type of X bar - R data desired. The reports contain number of cycles, Sigma, mean range, maximum, mean shift, number of rejects for the high limit, number of rejects for the low limit, hardware faults, and the number of acceptable parts. The data is reported for both torque and angle. If the user has a third variable programmed to qualify the part, the number of rejects based on this variable will also be listed. Parameter Dump Reports list the values of parameters entered into the TMAD unit by the user, or the TMAD default values. These reports can serve as logs or records of how the unit is configured. Status Reports are printed every time the TMAD is turned on. These reports record times and dates of use, confirmation of memory retention, calibration for the tool, power failure detection, and other information.

Through a simple. front panel selection process, the TMAD units will display information in any of five languages: English. French, Spanish, Italian or German.
