Perform a torque check

Updated

Note: Before following the steps below, you must first integrate a digital torque wrench into your Azumuta workspace. See how to integrate a digital torque wrench for instructions.

This is how to perform the torque check as an operator:

  1. Open the Hub (downloaded from Management → Peripherals → Hubs), and keep it open throughout the entire torque check process.
  2. Navigate to the instruction step with the torque check that an admin has prepared.
  3. Ensure there’s an indicator showing that your digital torque wrench is connected to the device displaying the instruction step (as shown in the image below): docs how to perform the torque check
  4. Using your digital torque wrench, apply the required torque to the fasteners that have been designated by the admin. The target and the result are shown in the unit of the check: Nm, lbf·in or lbf·ft.
  5. If you did over-torquing/under-torquing and/or your torque angle was beyond the tolerated limits set by the admin on a tightening, then redo that tightening until it fulfills these standards.
  6. Once you’ve done all of the tightenings correctly, click the send button. You will automatically proceed to the next instruction step.

With a Stahlwille wrench, Azumuta checks the range of the wrench and switches the wrench to the unit of the check before the check starts. You can see these messages:

  • The wrench is set to X, set it to Y on the wrench and try again: Azumuta could not switch the wrench to the unit of the check. Set the unit on the wrench, and try again.
  • A message about the range of the wrench: the torque limits of the check are outside the range of the wrench. The range is shown in the unit of the check.

Check out our demonstration video below to see how the torque check works in a real-life setting:

Note: Note: At the moment, you can only do the torque check from a computer (be it a desktop computer or a laptop computer) or a Windows tablet.
