2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Delta 1D/6D/7D are instruments designed for optimal operations in: Tools testing: The Delta offers a set of tests for evaluating click-wrenches, slip-wrenches,
nutrunners and pulse tools, measuring the torque values and producing results with statistical parameters. This makes possible to keep the quality of the tightening operations on a production line under control. The test results can be retrieved by the Delta management software (DeltaQC), or exported into Microsoft Excel.
Quality test on joints: The Delta 7D model offers also a set of strategies to perform residual
torque check on joints, including the joint analysis function to analyze the joint torque/angle characteristics.
Production tightening operations: The Delta 7D model offers a set of strategies to perform a
tightening operation, controlling the tightening in torque only or torque and angle.

2.1 Delta Models
This paragraph provides an overview of the “Delta Models”:
2.1.1 Delta 1D (P/N 6159351010)
The Delta 1D provides a demo mode menu (track or peak functions) and the test function of wrenches, nutrunners and pulse tools. The measurements are made only in torque.
The results and curves are stored in the Delta memory and can be retrieved (and possibly printed) by the management software (DeltaQC); they can be exported to Excel and possibly printed.

In the Transducer info are detailed the transducers characteristics:
In addition, two additional fields indicate if the transducer has been overloaded during the use with the Delta:
Max. Torque: Maximum torque applied to the transducer during the use with the Delta. If this value
is over the Damage Limit, a warning message is shown for few seconds when the transducer is connected to the Delta; to reset this message, and to ensure that the transducer is still working properly, the transducer must be inspected and re-calibrated by the Customer Center.
N. Max Torque: This field contains a counter incremented every time the torque measured by the
transducer exceeds the Up Limit during the use with the Delta. For a transducer that works properly it should be always zero.
In the case the DLT is connected to the Delta, the Transducer info screen is as follows:
The measurement unit is Newton. Moreover, there are the following additional fields indicating: Max load: Maximum load applied to the transducer during the use with the Delta. If this value is
over the Damage Limit, a warning message is shown for few seconds when the transducer is connected to the Delta; to reset this message, and to ensure that the transducer is still working properly, the transducer must be inspected and re-calibrated by the Customer Center.
N max load: This field contains a counter incremented every time the load measured by the
transducer exceeds the Up Limit during the use with the Delta. For a transducer that works properly it should be always zero.
Tigh. Counter: This field counts the number of tightenings performed by the transducer connected
to the Delta
Change screw cnt: This field indicates when it is necessary to replace the DLT screw (see DLT

Angular resolution
For transducers with angle measurement, this specifies the angular resolution in degrees. The Delta measures the rising and falling edges of both the phase A and phase B (also called Clock and Up/Down) of the encoder. Therefore, the nominal impulses are multiplied by four.
Example:
Torque/angle transducer with 450 impulses per revolution →
angular resolution = 360 / (450 *4) = 0.2
For pre-defined transducers, the parameters are set according to the type selected, and cannot be modified.
For custom transducers, the following parameters must be entered in the Settings section:
To select the analog transducer currently connected to the Delta, connect the CMD adapter to the Delta; then select the Transducer → Analog transducers from the main menu, and select the transducer from the list:

Tool data entered when the new tool is created. It is possible to modify them in the above screen.
After clicking OK, in the General folder are shown the information entered while creating the Tool:

Type
Select the tool type from the list.
Minimum torque and Maximum torque
These two values are information data that characterize the tool; they are not used by the Delta for the test and statistics.
Unit of measurement
Select the measurement unit from the list.
Pulse target
For Pulse Tools, it specifies the tool frequency (pulses per seconds). This is an information field, and it is not used for calculating results and statistics.
Pset linked to the Tool
To test a Tool on the Delta, it is MANDATORY to associate a Pset. If it is not done yet, firstly define a Pset (refer to the paragraph “Creating a Pset”). Finally, associate in the above folder the Pset that is used to test the Tool.
Click on to link a Pset to the Tool. Click on to remove it. It is possible to associate up to five Psets to each Tool.
Select the Linked Pset folder to link Pset(s) to the Tool:

tool testing
It is also possible to create (or modify) a Tool directly on the Delta. Hence, select Measurement
Setup → Tools setup from the main menu:
Press the Enter button on the Delta keyboard to Modify/Delete the selected Tool (press Valid to confirm), or to create a new one:
Scroll the parameters using the Up/Down keys and click on Enter to edit the parameter selected. Then set the value by means of the arrow buttons (left/right to select the digit, up/down to increase/decrease the value). Finally either click on Valid to save or click on Esc to quit without saving.
8.2.3 Executing the test
Once the Pset (and the Tool for Tool Testing) is created, it is possible to execute the test. Firstly, connect a transducer to the Delta. Then select Measurement → Production or Quality Audit or Tools menu, according to the test type. Finally select the test to be started, as shown in the next figure:

If the “Bar code required” flag is activated in the “Control parameters” of the Pset (Delta QC software), before starting the test the following window requires for a barcode. In this case, it is possible either to scan the barcode string with the barcode reader (internal or external) or to enter it manually by pressing the Enter button on the Delta keyboard:
If the Results View mode is set to “Statistics” in the “Controller → Configuration” menu (Delta QC software), the torque result with average, minimum, and maximum values are shown in real time.
The standard deviation σ (Std) and the Cm-Cmk (Cp-Cpk for joints) are displayed after the 3rd value:
If the Results View mode is set to “Last results” in the “Controller → Configuration” menu
(Delta QC software), the torque result and angle result values are shown in real time (red color for
Not OK result, black color for OK results).
