Tightening control unit E-TCS

programmabledigitalwith touch screen

CONTROL UNIT
The E-TCS control unit powers and manages all functions of the connected E MCB electric tightening tool. It provides advanced programming and precise control of each tightening phase, with real-time visualization on a color touch screen. Designed for industrial assembly and INDUSTRY 4.0 integration, the unit supports connectivity with factory management systems for data exchange, remote visualization, monitoring and process control.

VISUALIZATIONS

• Complete visualization of the tightening cycle
• Instant display of TORQUE / ANGLE / TIME
• Graphical charts of tightening data
• Result indication via display color changes and tool-mounted light signals
• Last 200 tightening log records
• Last 200 tightening diagrams

PROGRAMMING

• Poka-yoke programming directly on the color touch screen
• 100 configurable Jobs, recallable from operator panel
• 100 configurable Tasks per Job
• 12 configurable Steps per Task
• 3 tightening strategies selectable within Steps:
  • Torque Control – Angle Monitoring (TC-AM)
  • Angle Control – Torque Monitoring (AC-TM)
  • Torque and Angle Control (AC and TC)
• WIZARD programming: guided setup from Job to Step
• Programming screens available in English (EN) and Italian (IT)
• I/O test screens: force inputs/outputs directly from the unit for diagnostics/commissioning

OTHER TYPES OF TIGHTENING CYCLE CONTROL

• Tightening with clockwise or counterclockwise rotation (configurable)
• Minimum / maximum torque control
• Minimum / maximum angle control
• Minimum / maximum time control
• Threshold torque for angle reading and monitoring
• Real-time calculation of Cm and CmK
• Screw counting and per-screw re-tightening limits for NOK cases
• Configurable loosening speed and direction
• Speed reduction during tightening with configurable final torque/speed (downshift)
• Dwell time to maintain torque for an adjustable period
• Acceleration ramp duration

DATA STORAGE AND EXPORT

• Tightening logs exportable via Fieldbus (e.g. PROFINET, MODBUS TCP, ETHERNET/IP)
• Import/export of tightening programs
• Data storable on removable SD-card for backup and export
• System capacity: over 1 million tightenings

FEATURES

• Automatic recognition of the connected tool and parameters
• I/O connector: 8 inputs / 8 outputs, freely programmable (10 + 8 assignable functions)
• Fieldbus port for common industrial networks
• USB port for firmware updates and program/log import-export
• SD port for removable SD-card (programs and logs)
• Multiple password-protected authorization levels (up to 4 users)
• Power cable supplied
• Integrated date and time clock
• Supply voltage: 100–240 Vac (120V~230V ±10% 50–60 Hz)

APPLICATIONS
Suitable for automation of tightening processes across industrial sectors: automotive, aerospace, domestic appliances, electromechanics. Provides assembly flexibility, full traceability of tightening data and cost reduction through fewer rejected parts.
