  • Publication number: 20240369431
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of a device for determining a tightening class of a tightening operation performed by a tightening tool. The determination is based on training a machine-learning model with an acquired set of observed torque and angle values, at least one set of context data and one or more associated tightening classes. Subsequently, the trained model is utilized for determining from supplied torque and angle values, as well as context data, one or more tightening classes associated with the supplied values and context data.

  • Publication number: 20240335926
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of detecting an indication of a tightening tool deteriorating in tightening performance, and a control device performing the method. In a first aspect, a method of detecting an indication of a tightening tool deteriorating in tightening performance is provided. The method comprises acquiring at least one set of observed values of a torque having been applied by the tightening tool to an object to be tightened over a first time period, determining whether or not an overshoot metric of the observed values in the at least one acquired set with respect to a target torque exceeds a predetermined overshoot threshold value, and if so providing an alert that an indication of performance deterioration of the tightening tool has been detected.
