The FUSION Fastening System is a culmination of over twenty years of electric fastening expertise
integrated with the latest electronic technology. The system is designed with modular construction in
mind. The basic elements of this system are:
1) A brushless DC permanent magnet high speed motor, with resolver feedback
2) A combination Fastening Controller / Servo Amplifier
3) 32-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) CPU for spindle control
4) Fully digital controlled drive amplifier
5) Configurable communications interfaces
•Compact Design
As the result of miniaturization circuit technology, the controller maintains a maximum
width of 160mm in spite of the built-in power source, controller interface and servo
amplifier. Controllers operate on single-phase 100 ~ 230 VAC (Auto switching) for
simplified connection to standard plant floor receptacles. System components can be
back panel mounted with quick replacement capabilities.
•Front Keypad-Display.
A front keypad display is an integral component for programming single units and/or
monitoring the fastening results and status conditions in the system. Large
alphanumeric LED displays and status lights provide excellent visibility in plant
operations.
• Fastening Functions.
Fastening can be performed in either the Torque Control or the Angle Control method.
Angle (rotational) and torque rate monitoring provide additional error proofing functions.
• Parameter Selection
• Totally digitized system eliminates analog potentiometers.
• Up to 16 sets of parameters can be stored into Flash ROM.
• No battery-backup of memory is required.
• “No Cost” AFC User Console Programming Software
Nutrunner programming and data collection can be performed via the user-friendly AFC
software provided at no cost with every system. Functions such as Preset Parameter
programming, fastening data monitoring and fastening data analysis can be performed.
The software is primarily utilized on single spindle application in a detachable mode via
a laptop computer with RS232 communications.

Chapter 1: Outline
•Motor
A permanent magnet High Speed DC motor provides for improved fastening control.
The sealed design of the motor provides greater protection from contamination without
generating excess heat. The resolver is uniquely designed to withstand harsh
environments and provide high resolution control / angular feedback signals.
•Preamplifier
Quality control of the tool torque transducer is accomplished electronically (digitally)
through the EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) in the
preamplifier. During factory setup of the torque transducer, the unit is Dead Weight and
Dynamically tested against Standards that are certified and traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology. The resultant data is then programmed into the
preamplifier where it is stored on non-volatile EEPROM. The preamplifier also contains
the “Smart Tool ID” system which allows automatic tool recognition and protects against
misapplication of tools onto the wrong controller or set-up.
•Servo Amplifier (Servo Drive)
Reduced equipment size with improved drive circuit strength is the result of
incorporating Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) technology into the drive System.
• Plug-In Firmware Update System
The CONTROLLER Firmware is stored in Flash ROM and can be rewritten with future
Firmware updates via a plug-in connector located on each unit. There is no need to
remove the unit or disassemble the unit for any Firmware upgrades.
• Motor, Resolver and Transducer Combined Cable
A single high flex cable incorporates durable metal connectors to provide for extended
life in harsh environments. Twist lock connectors provide easy separation of
connection points for maintenance, while maintaining superior contact under operating
conditions. Separate tool and extension cables (Straight and 90 Degree) are available
for improved cable management.
•ToolsNet / Network Connectivity
Optional Ethernet connectivity (10/100BaseT) available for export of fastening data or
connection to existing Atlas Copco ToolsNet network via the Open Protocol for
ToolsNet.
•Fastening function.
The following fastening control methods can be selected for either clockwise (CW) or
counterclockwise (CCW) operation:
Torque Control / Angle Monitoring
Angle Control / Torque Monitoring
The Controller unit has capability for one, two & three step fastening.
Torque rate monitoring in up to 3 areas is available in any configuration.
•Multi-Speed Rundown
The Initial, Freerun, Slowdown, Torque and Reverse speed set-ups provide capability of
multi-speed fastenings for any application.
•Reject / Abnormal Condition Display
When a fastening Reject has occurred the system stops, outputs the appropriate signal
and displays the resultant data in the Keypad-Display. Upon a fastening reject, the unit
will not require resetting prior to the next cycle.
The System will output an abnormal signal when it detects there is a problem (Zero
Check out of limits, incorrect component connection, etc.) within the system itself. The
output will be displayed as a code on the Front Panel Display. Refer to Chapter 9
Troubleshooting for more details. Reset of the system is required on an abnormal
before normal operation can resume.
•Axis Bypass Function
When a PLC Bypass input signal is activated, the Bypass output signal is activated. In
this condition, the spindle will not START, REVERSE, CAL OR RESET.
•Auto Tool Recognition (Smart Tool ID)
The FUSION tools have an EEPROM in the preamplifier that contains tool data specific
for each tool. The Tool type check function reads the information of the tool EEPROM
and compares it to the information of the CONTROLLER unit; any mismatch is reported
as a Tool Type Error Abnormal.
The tool type check is performed during the following times:
1) When the equipment is powered on.
2) When preset data is downloaded from a user console to the Axis unit.
•Torque Recovery
The ability to “hold” torque after fastening allows the system to overcome problems
associated with joint relaxation or “slip stick” friction. After peak torque has been reach,
this function allows the tool to “hold” torque for a pre-programmed number of pulses.
•Batch Counting
The Batch Count function allows multiple fastening accepts to be counted for an overall
“Work Accept” of the work piece.

Chapter 1: Outline
1.4 System requirements
To ensure the most effective and extended use of all equipment, adhere to the following
specifications:
•Tool Installation
Tools can generate a large amount of torque during operation, and the reaction force is
applied to the Operator or mounting area of the tool. Therefore, tools must be installed
in the proper positions and with adequate reaction devices. Tools MUST be mounted
either using there supplied mounting plate or clamped only in designated areas of the
tool or tool damage may result.
Keep in mind that the fastening tool is a strain gage based instrument and, although it
has been designed to withstand sudden shock, repeated shock (over time) could
damage some components. Therefore, support devices must be used whenever
practical to ease in handling and operation of the Fastening Tool.
•Fastening Operation
Avoid fastening beyond the full scale torque. Do not use a duty cycle (the ratio of the
tool “On” time to Tool “Off” time) higher than 50%, even when the torque is below the
full scale value.
• Cable Wiring
• Use the specified cables for all System connections.
• Completely lock the tool cable twist lock connectors.
• PLC I/O cables must be run separate from any high voltage power sources or cabling, and
must not exceed 50 feet in length.
• Control Equipment Installation Environment
• Controller units must be located a minimum of 600 mm from high transient voltage sources
such as transformers, motor starters, AC inverters and AC contactors. If it cannot be
avoided, the units must be properly shielded.
Do not use at the following locations.
• Areas under direct sunlight.
• Areas where the environmental temperature is out of the 32 °~122°F range.
• Areas where the relative humidity is below the 20% range.
• Areas where the relative humidity is above the 90% range.
• Areas where the temperature changes quickly, which may cause moisture.
• Areas where conductive powder, oil mist, saline, or organic solvents exist.
• Areas that have corrosive or combustible gases.
• Areas that have strong electric or magnetic fields.
• Areas where a strong vibration or shock could be transmitted directly to a Controller unit or
tool.
•Static Electricity
FUSION System construction incorporates electronic Surface Mounted Devices (SMD).
It is advisable to strictly adhere to practices for safe electrostatic discharge in order to
prevent damage to the System when handling the units.
•Cleaning
Do not use any organic solvents, such as thinner, to clean a Controller unit or a tool.
The solvent could melt the surface paint, or penetrate inside and cause damage. A
cloth dampened with alcohol or warm water should be used to lightly wipe the
components.
•Handling and Shipping
It is critical that FUSION System components are properly handled and shipped in order
to maintain the System's integrity. Adhere to the following requirements for shipping
and handling:
•Loose FUSION System components must be individually packaged in an approved anti-
static container or wrap to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
•Adhere to Chapter 2 Specifications for environmental requirements.
Duty Cycle is rated as a percentage of the time the motor is running to the time the motor is
idle. This is an important factor in determining overload protection for Servo Amplifiers and
motors as it directly relates to the amount of power or heat dissipation of the motor / servo
package. The rated duty cycle for the FUSION System is calculated as follows:
Tool Rotation Time
X 100 = Duty Cycle Percentage (%)
Total Cycle Time (Tool Rotation + Tool Waiting)
Example: Tool Rotation Time = 3 Seconds x 100 = 25% Duty Cycle Percentage
Total Cycle Time = 12 Seconds
Duty cycle ratings vary between tools. As a general rule, however, it should not exceed 50%.
IF duty cycles remain above 60% for extended periods, a Servo Amplifier Error / Overload will
result (See abnormal CODE 8 -10). Protection for high duty cycle is a standard feature of the
Servo Amplifier to prevent servo or motor damage.
