  • Patent number: 8485049
    Abstract: The torque tool device includes a torque tool and an information processing terminal. The torque tool is capable of measuring the torque value at which a bolt or the like was tightened and then transmitting the measured torque value via wireless communication unit and the information processing terminal has information processing unit receiving the measured torque value and determining whether the torque value is acceptable.

  • Publication number: 20100170370
    Abstract: An object is to provide a torque tool device which can expedite tightening operations using a torque tool without requiring any other manipulation than the tightening. The device is also capable of performing tightening operations consecutively by determining instantly whether the tightening has been adequately performed. The torque tool device includes a torque tool 1 and an information processing terminal 20. The tool 1 is capable of measuring the torque value at which a bolt or the like was tightened and then transmitting the measured torque value via wireless communication means. The terminal 20 has information processing means for receiving the measured torque value and determining whether the torque value is acceptable. This arrangement eliminates the need of including a pass/fail test device in the torque tool 1, thereby allowing it to be reduced in weight.

  • Publication number: 20100170369
    Abstract: An object is to provide a torque tool device which can positively identify which torque tool was used to tighten a bolt. Another object is to provide a torque tool device which can be provided with traceability from the torque tool to standards of torque. A torque wrench 1 transmits, after having tightened a bolt, a set of the manufacturer's serial number of the torque wrench 1 and tightening data such as a measured torque value to a processing terminal 20. The processing terminal 20 transmits the manufacturer's serial number and the tightening data to an externally connected device 30, so that the tightening data and data on the tightened bolt or the like are recorded by the manufacturer's serial number in the externally connected device. This makes it possible to identify the torque wrench 1 from the tightened bolt and maintain traceability.
