Sturtevant Richmont TCV-FM Torque Control Verifier

Error Proofing for SLTC-FM Preset Click Wrenches

The Torque Control Verifier (TCV) is ideal when the application calls for accuracy, repeatability and simplicity of the 2.4 GHz Wireless Preset Clicker-Type Torque Wrench, and only a single tool at the station needs to be controlled. The TCV-FM provides verification to the operator on the quality of each use, plus DC 24V relays and I/O port for line controller communications (PLC).

When a click-type torque wrench is operated on a fastener, the wrench spends a certain amount of time in the “clicked“ position; thus a small time slot occurs between releasing and easing the wrench. The TCV-FM detects proper use of the Switch Wrench via timer – like the PTV-FM, but without batch counting. It compares the duration of the click to the T-min and T-max specification limits and immediately communicates to the operator the acceptability of that use of the wrench. Thus missing or over-torqueing of fasteners and jerking torque wrenches is eliminated, the error rate is reduced and the productivity is improved.

The TCV-FM was created for those who desire to integrate their manual torque wrenches into their control line automation, without necessarily needing all of the features of the PTV-FM. The TCV performs the comparison and communication functions required for basic control, but without the stand-alone capabilities of the PTV.
