The new IQWrench Opta can automatically identify special adapters that are inserted into the head of the wrench. The optional tool head recognition enables the use of bespoke tool heads and verification that a specific tool head is being used for a torque task.
Question 1: Will the extra length of a bespoke tool distort the toque reading? Answer 1: IQWrench Opta will automatically compensate for the adapter length The IQWrench Opta is loaded with a list of tool head IDs and their associated lengths. When an operator attaches a tool head to the IQWrench Opta, the ID of the tool head is read. The wrench software looks up the length associated with that adapter from the stored specification table and then automatically applies the correct calibration factor. Therefore the IQWrench Opta can give a true torque reading with point of loading insensitivity. The benefit is that the operator can choose the appropriate adapter for the job and the digital wrench will automatically compensate for the adapter length.
Question 2: How can I ensure that the operator is using the correct tool head for the job? Answer 2: The IQWrench can be set up to perform measurement only if the right tool head has been selected. The digital wrench has a set of torque characteristics downloaded to it. These specify a specific tool head ID per torque task. When the torque task (job) is retrieved, the operator must put in the correct tool head to continue with the measurement. Otherwise tightening or measuring is not possible. This ensures that the operator has to use the correct tool head which has been specified for that job. The benefit is that it removes the need for an automated tool tray.
