  • Torque-applying tool and control therefor
    Patent number: 6516896
    Abstract: A method of controlling electric- and fluid-powered torque-applying tools to avoid torque overshoot and unwanted joint stresses. During a fastening operation, a controller monitors the peak torque applied to a joint at specified intervals in time and adjusts the speed of the tool appropriately to reach a programmed torque value without overshooting. The method may be applied to arbitrary types of joints and allows the tool to adapt to the characteristics of a joint while a fastening operation is underway, without a separate “learning” or “adaptation” phase.
