  • Patent number: 8738329
    Abstract: A calibration method/system and verification method for digital torque tools are disclosed, in which the calibration method comprises the steps of: transmitting a data containing usage records of a digital torque tool at a client end to a remote calibration platform; comparing the data of usage records with statistic data stored in the calibration platform so as to obtain a data relating to average degree of fatigue; performing a calculation based upon the data of usage record and the data of average degree of fatigue so as to obtain a calibration data; transmitting the calibration data to the client end while allowing the calibration data to overwrite the corresponding original torque data of the digital torque tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8096211
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital power torque wrench of indirect transmission, which is composed of an eccentric driving module, a sensing module, a ratchet module and a control module. The eccentric driving module is used for transmitting power to the sensing module and the ratchet module for driving the ratchet module rotate accordingly and thus transferring the momentum of the rotating to fasten a workpiece, such as a bolt or nut. The sensing module is capable of detecting the deformation of the ratchet module as it is rotating against an increasing resistance during the fastening process, and converting the detected deformation into a signal to be received by the control module. The control module is capable of quantifying the signal for converting the same into a numerical signal representing a torque detected by the sensing module and then sending the numerical signal to a display device for displaying.

  • Publication number: 20090126535
    Abstract: A power wrench includes a body, a connecting element, a drive motor and a protection circuit. The connecting element is axially rotatably disposed inside the body and protrudes out of the body. The drive motor is for rotating the connecting element. The protection circuit is for controlling a power supply of the drive motor according to a value of a drive current of the drive motor. When the drive current of the drive motor is over a critical current value, the power supply of the drive motor is cut off.
