A method for improving the accuracy and repeatability of torque applied by discrete energy tools subjected to a wide variety of joint conditions. The method includes relating air pressure to output torque and compensating for temperature and aging variations. Additionally, the method may include a process for detecting previously tightened fasteners.

A cordless power tool battery pack including an onboard circuit configured to electronically communicate with an associated battery charging system and an associated battery analyzing system. The onboard circuit communicates information relating to the battery pack to a microprocessor or the like within the battery charging system and charging of the battery pack is controlled based on such communication. The onboard circuit also communicates information relating to the battery pack to a microprocessor or the like within the battery analyzing system which can than be communicated to an interface unit for display to a user.

A controller in a cordless power tool is configured to electronically read an identifier (e.g., a battery characterizing resistor) in a battery and identify the battery characteristics that is being powered. The controller can also define the suitable performance or output parameters of the tool for an identified tool type using a defined electronic library or menu of different tool types that is correlated to associated operational profiles.

364510

A system for monitoring and/or controlling the torque applied by a fluid driven tool for driving threaded fasteners, such as tools driven by either air or oil. The system includes a fluid flow meter to measure a parameter which is a function of the rate of fluid flow into the tool during operation of the tool, a transducer for converting the measured parameter into an electrical signal, and a data processing unit for processing that electrical signal into a signal representative of the torque applied by said tool. A system for digitally processing the measured parameter and comparing it to predetermined expected parameters to infer the condition of the fluid driven tool and for reporting that inferred condition is also included. The system is applicable to both nutrunner type fluid tools and impact wrenches.

Illustrative embodiments of impact tools with impact mechanisms rigidly coupled to electric motors are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, an impact tool may comprise an impact mechanism, an electric motor, and a control circuit. The impact mechanism may comprise a hammer and an anvil, the hammer being configured to rotate about a first axis and to periodically impact the anvil to drive rotation of the anvil about the first axis. The electric motor may comprise a rotor that is rigidly coupled to the impact mechanism, the electric motor being configured to drive rotation of the hammer about the first axis. The control circuit may be configured to supply a current to the electric motor and to prevent the current from exceeding a threshold in response to the hammer impacting the anvil.
