All ASG-SD2500 Series Screwdrivers have programmable internal memory that contains configuration information from the factory. It will identify itself to the controller and provide the following information: • Tool Model Number • Tool Serial Number • Cycles Completed • Maximum Torque •...
ASG-SD2500 Operation First-time users should take some time to become familiar with the ASG-SD2500 prior to use. With the power to the controller off, cycle the lever and push-to-start spindle to become accustomed to the feel and resistance. Repeat this step with the controller power on, to feel the operation of the tool.
Run Tool Screen 1. Task Selection: Shows the user the current task, and allows the user to select one of 32 available tasks. Selecting the button with the task name will bring up the Task Menu where another task may be selected or altered. The arrow keys will advance to the previous or next task. Settings for bolt counts, parameters, inputs, outputs, etc will switch with these actions to the settings of the selected task.
Page 19
10. Data Button: Displays a table that contains rundown characteristics for the last 100 fastening cycles. Additional data is available in the internal memory and can also be downloaded to a USB flash drive from this screen. 11. Repeat Button: Depressing this button keeps the controller on the current bolt in a batch.
Tool Information Screen This screen displays characteristics of the tool that is currently attached to the ASG-CT2500 controller such as: • • Model Number Maximum Speed • • Serial Number Gear Ratio • • Number of Cycles on the Tool Calibration Value •...
Setup Screen Entering the setup screen allows you to modify the settings of each task’s parameters, bolt counts, bolt sequences, inputs, outputs, reverse settings, and triggering. Tool Triggering: On the ‘Setup’ screen, each task can be set up to trigger the tool in the way that best fits that task. The tool can be set up for remote start, lever start (if tool is equipped with a lever or pistol-grip attachment), push to start, lever or push to start (together), or lever and push to start.
Bolt Retries: To enable this feature, tap the radio button on the task setup screen under the number of bolts. Set the number of retries before lockout by tapping the number and inputting the desired value. A retry is counted when the tool is put into reverse and triggered (run).
Parameter Setup: From the task setup screen, select the Parameters button. Shown will be a button for each of the 8 available parameters for that task. Some useful definitions for the Parameter Setup: Target Torque: The torque value at which the tool should stop the fastener rundown (Torque Control parameters only) Target Angle: The angle value at which the tool should stop the fastener rundown (Angle Control parameters...
Page 24
Threshold Torque: The torque reading at which the tool enters the fastening cycle. Once the tool reaches the threshold torque, it will begin to count the angle of revolution until either the final torque or final angle (depending on Torque or Angle Parameter). Run Down Speed: The speed (rpm) that the tool will run (RH or LH rotation) from the time the tool is triggered until either the final target is met, or the downshift point is met (if enabled).
Bolt Sequences The ‘Bolt Sequences’ button allows the user to select which parameter(s) will run for a given bolt inside each task. To assign a parameter to a bolt, select the bolt number (or multiple bolts if they will all have the same parameter(s)) then tap the button to the right to access the parameter list.
Prevailing Torque Certain applications (such as self-tapping fasteners or fasteners into locking helical inserts) require compensation for the prevailing torque of a fastener in the final torque of the rundown. This can be accomplished using the ‘Calc Prevail Torque’ feature in an angle control parameter. For easy identification, angle control parameters using the prevailing torque option have a purple outline on the parameter blocks.
Prevailing Torque Link (GUI v2.6.0 and later) Certain specialized applications may require the calculation of prevailing torque, while also having the ability to recall and compensate for that prevailing torque later in the batch. Example: 2 bolts to be secured with prevailing torque compensation to a snug torque of 3 inlb, then each bolt is re-torqued to 8 inlb with prevailing torque compensation (from the original snug torque operation).
Page 28
Set up (2) nearly identical Torque Control parameters for the final torque of 8 inlb except that the Prevail Torque Link will be different. The parameter assigned to bolt #3 will have the Prevail Torque Link set to 1. The parameter assigned to bolt #4 will have the Prevail Torque Link set to 2.
