Abstract: Method to check the correct functioning of a tightening tool, such as an industrial screwdriver, placed on a test bench. Said bench includes a plurality of hydraulic brakes (F1-Fn), to which the instrument is associated, suitably controlled by a hydraulic circuit. Each brake is equipped with measurement transducers (TR) capable of measuring the torque exerted and the angle of rotation on this brake, connected to an electronic driver card (SP), which also controls the hydraulic circuit. The bench also includes an electronic processing unit (U) which communicates with the card and which includes an adequate driving program memorized on it capable of regulating the braking capacity of the brakes through the hydraulic circuit according to a predetermined braking torque/angle of rotation curve of the brakes.

Abstract: Braking device inserted in a test bench (2) for checking the correct operation of industrial screwdrivers, wherein the braking simulates a tightening operation of such screwdriver, comprising a container body (1) on the top of which a coupling (11) protrudes, suitable for coupling with the head (3) of the screwdriver to be tested, said coupling (11) being connected, by means of a shaft (12), to a braking unit (13), an electronic torque and angle detector (14) of the shaft rotation (12). Such braking unit (13) comprises a plate (14), rotated by the screwdriver, which is braked by suitable friction surfaces (15) moved towards the plate by the movement of an actuator; the movement of such actuator is performed by means of at least one electronically controlled piezoelectric element (17).

Abstract: A hydraulic braking device for testing industrial screwdrivers is arranged on a braking simulation bench, the braking device being controlled by an actuator and by a hydraulic control circuit which supplies pressure to the device on the basis of the indications of an electronic elaboration unit of the bench. Such a braking device is provided with coupling means for the screwdriver to be subjected to test and measurement transducers controlled by a processing unit, suitable for measuring the torque exerted by the screwdriver and the rotation angle, and such a device includes a memory which can be read and/or written by the bench electronic elaboration unit.

Abstract: A clamping tool is provided comprising a body, containing control circuits and electronic processing circuitry and having, at one end, a handle for gripping by an operator making the clamping, and on the other end, an arm. The arm comprises, at its free end, a seat that can be alternatively pluggable to a plurality of inserts suitable for engaging the tool with a corresponding type and/or dimension of a mechanical member on which the tool is configured to operate to perform a clamping operation. Sensor means are provided on the arm for detecting tightening conditions exerted on the mechanical member. Furthermore, a microprocessor electronic card is provided on the are for receiving analogic signals from the sensor means, converting the signals into digital format, and handling transfer of the signals in digital format to the electronic processing circuitry.
