1. PLUTO Electric Screwdriver
(PLUSTorque)
EDU2AE Controller Series
Developed By:
Jim Chase

2. Current Control
PLUTO’s Current Control tools algorithm is based on three parameters:
Current, Voltage, and Frequency.
To set the torque target you dial in the Torque % and the RPM and calibrate to an external Transducer.
Torque calibration is much like any clutch tool

3. Clutch Control
PLUTO’s Clutch Control tools are new is 2012: highest torque clutch tools available.
These tools run on the EDU2AE only
They are good for applications that require a tool that is not sensitive to joint variations.
See the Tool overview at the end of this presentation.

12. Modes of Control Torque mode Torque Lever mode Input Torque mode
Angle mode
Angle Lever mode
Input Angle mode

13. Torque mode Applications: Thread cutting into Plastic or Aluminum
Soft joint: measure angle from beginning of compression
Torque mode
The torque threshold starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

14. Torque Lever mode Applications:
Confirming correct length screw is used.
Caution the operator not to pre-start the screw
Torque Lever mode
The tool lever pull starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

15. Torque Input mode Applications: Prox sensor on a torque arm
Confirm depth before starting to measure angle
Good for threaded application with little PV torque
Torque Input mode
An input starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

16. Angle mode
The tool runs to a preset Angle from a torque threshold.

17. The tool runs to a preset Angle from the tool’s lever start.
Angle Lever mode
The tool runs to a preset Angle from the tool’s lever start.

18. The tool runs to a preset Angle from a input signal.
Input Angle mode
The tool runs to a preset Angle from a input signal.

19. Application: Thread cutting into Plastic
Settings:
T&A function: Torque
Torque threshold: Min
Test results:
20 rundown test shows 6% range with Kolver
Same tests shows 7% range with Transducer
Conclusion: Kolver T&A angle measurement is equal to Transducer in this application.
The torque threshold starts the angle measurement. Final torque must fall between the min & max angle values set.

20. Muti Step strategies Pre-set each step as a program
Set screw count to 1 for each program
Sequence through the steps with a lever pull
Example:
Torque and then Angle
Two programs 1) torque & 2 Angle
Cycle through with a lever pull
