Sturtevant Richmont TCV e² Torque Control Verifier

Programmable Torque Verifier with Ethernet

In 1999, SR helped build the wireless error proofing industry on the back of the I/O driven TCV Controller. It was one box and one tool. Driven by a PLC, the TCV was great for controlling a process and verifying that the work was done. The TCV was fast and it was simple. It worked with a click wrench and there was no reporting. For many applications that was the perfect approach.

Fast-forward twenty years and SR is expanding the TCV by introducing the TCV e2 (TCV Ethernet 2). The Ethernet connection gives you an MES connection capability.

The TCV e2 doesn’t sacrifice a bit of the speed by working withour new TAC, the Digital Torque and Angle click wrench. and our SLTC FM 2.4 GHz click wrench. All the production speed is retained and two operators can work simultaneously. If you have an indexing line, and torque control matters, you need the TCV e2 and radio equipped tools.

Features

• Two independent channels so two operators work independently.
• Functions with the new TAC digital torque and angle click wrench as well as the legendary SLTC FM 2.4 GHz click wrench.
• General I/O, network, or bar code driven.
• Functions with 2 bar code readers.
• Learn up to 10 tools.
• 2 separate 24V DC I/O ports.
• Complete interface with SR Global Manager software for setting parameters, etc.
• Reports into 'Global Host' or ToolsNet.

Supported Protocols

• EtherNet IP
• Open Protocol
• ToolsNet
• Profinet
• PFCS
• Toyota

More to Know

The TVC e2 manages up to 10 parameters and can be paired with up to a total of 10 tools. Tools are paired with parameters. Operators work independently.

Like the Global 400, the TCV e2 has complete date/time stamped reporting. The display on the TCV e2 and the LED on the wrench provide an OK/NOK visual guidance for the operator.

When used with the TAC digital torque and angle click wrench, the reporting for each fastener shows both the point at which the wrench clicked, the point at which the operator stopped pulling (aka Peak Torque), and the degrees of fastener rotation past snug torque.

Need to use a barcode scanner to bring up parameters? The TCV e2 has two USB ports that are compatible with serial scanners.

The TCV e2 and TAC combination is the new power-duo of error-free assembly. TCV e2 has a memory capacity of 40,000 torque events and stores up to 2 MB of network event data.

The TCV e2 broadcasts on twelve channels within 2.4 GHz. We recommend the tool to controller distance be no more than about 10 to 15 meters. Environmental factors may impact signal strength and clarity. Welders, autonomous vehicles, large brick walls, steel beams all may impact the radio strength.
