Suitable for clean room uses (Class 100)
They are comprised of a 32-bit RISC processor. Both controllers adopt the same fastening process control technology. An optical encoder inside each screwdriver monitors the rotation of the driver motor from the initial rotation until the completion of the fastening cycle. The torque coefficient or factors which influence the torque, is calculated by the controllers software from the continuously monitored electric current to the screwdriver motor and the time factor. The electric current from the controller to the screwdriver motor is based on that continuous analysis, controlled instant by instant. The screwdrivers torque output is in proportion to the controllers electric current output to the screwdrivers motor. The screwdrivers torque curve takes 0.1 seconds and is calculated by a functional circuit until it reaches the target torque. Once the target torque has been reached, it holds that torque for 0.2 seconds to stabilize the torque output.
-
PED controller has one channel for setting the torque output as a standard (two channel controller optional). Suitable for control of driver unit in manual operation. It is also applicable for robotics auto application of simple screw tightening.
-
FED controller installed on a robot can catch and loosen an already seated (fastened) screw, and has a memory for 8 preset fastening torque settings and 8 preset angle settings. Suitable for robotics auto applications. It is also applicable for control of driver unit in manual operation, utilizing memory facility and/or with remote control combined. Facilities available in FED III are :
-
Preset memory
-
Reversing parameter setting and control
-
Idle mode (low torque & slow speed) to engage with already seated screw
-
Multi-sequence program mode
-
-
Both controllers can be used for manual and automatic application

- STATE-OF-THE-ART
MULTIPLE FEEDBACK CONTROL
Technart’s state-of-the-art multiple feed back control technology makes best use of 32 bits RISC processor for real-time monitoring and control of screw tightening torque and process. - RELIABLE CONTROL OF
TIGHTENING TORQUE AND PROCESS
FEDIII (FEDIII-h) monitors and controls motor current, motor voltage and motor rpm, to control screw tightening torque and process. It guarantees reliable repeatability of torque applied to screws, regardless of joint characteristics and frictional differences in actual applications. - COMMUNICATION WITH
DRIVER
FEDIII (FEDIII-h), when powered on, automatically recognizes the connected driver and its individual mechanical characteristics. A particular matching of a controller and a driver does not need to be maintained. - MEMORY FOR DRIVER
TORQUE FAMILY DATA
FEDIII (FEDIII-h) can contain three different data of driver torque family. When, for instance, FEDIII (FEDIII-h) contains torque family data of 3600/8500/12K, any of 3600, 8500 or 12K family driver can be connected and used with it right away, without any manipulation. - DIGITAL TORQUE
SETTING
Set a tightening torque digitally, and all the rest are taken care by FEDIII (FEDIII-h) automatically, for best control of screw tightening at the torque for most applications. - SELF-DIAGNOSTICS AND
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
FEDIII (FEDIII-h) protects herself from any damage caused by overheat due to repeated high load operations in too short an interval. - COMPREHENSIVE ERROR
MESSAGES
Every part inside the system and every stages of screw tightening and reversing process are under comprehensive monitoring. - TWO STANDARD
INTERFACES
Two interfaces are available in standard : a 24-pin photo-coupler interface and a serial RS-232C modular jack, for control and monitoring of the system from external PLC or PC. - CUSTOMIZING OF
FUNCTIONS AND PARAMETERS
Many of functions and parameters can be customized, to best suit your specific applications, via RS-232C interface from Technart Customizer software running on your PC. - PRESET MEMORY
FEDIII (FEDIII-h) carries memory area for 8 different settings for each of screw tightening and reversing. - REVERSING ANGLE
CONTROL
FEDIII (FEDIII-h) provides facility of reversing screw by specified angle. - HIGH SPEED TIGHTENING
CONTROL
Model FEDIII-h carries High Speed control board (standard specification for export) and provides high speed screw tightening and reversing, effective for most applications.
