ProTight™

E-RAD BLU and B-RAD-S with process control software

Radial Torque Tools B.V. is proud to announce its cooperation with ProSuite®, the software developing company for ProTight™ bolting process control.

This partnership allows the E-RAD BLU and the B-RAD-S to work together with ProTight™, a combination that provides complete control over the tightening process.

The E-RAD BLU and B-RAD-S in combination with ProTight™ instructs the user for each bolt what the prescribed procedure is and what tightening torque and/or angular rotation is required. This ensures that each bolt is at the prescribed torque, that bolts are torqued in the correct sequence, and that no bolts can be ‘missed’. In addition, every action is logged in the system so that everything can be found and checked afterwards.

Open protocol

The E-RAD BLU and B-RAD-S can connect to ProTight™ software using the open protocol feature in the E-RAD BLU and B-RAD-S menu.

With this option enabled, the MB-RAD and B-RAD-S can exchange data with the ProTight™ program. The ProTight™ software runs on a laptop or Windows equipped tablet (connects through Wi-Fi or LAN). After successful connection of the system, a bolting job can be configured by setting torque/angle pre-sets in the MB-RAD and B-RAD-S. In the ProTight™ program, it is possible to configure the bolting sequence as well as the barcode and to specify the operator For “live” viewing and data logging, a connection to the customers’ network can be configured. All actions are also stored in the customer’s ERP system so that it is always possible to check afterwards how the work has been carried out.

The ProTight™ system gives the user precise instructions on how and in what order to tighten the various connections to the E-RAD BLU and B-RAD-S, ensuring that all bolted connections are handled according to the prescribed procedure.

Error free operation

Thanks to this system, the user is assisted in every operation and the risk of errors is minimized so that all bolts are torqued as prescribed.
ProTight™ actively manages the E-RAD BLU and B-RAD-S, by means of a barcode that is scanned before starting work (ProTight™ comes with a scanner and barcode sticker printer, among other things). This ensures that the E-RAD BLU and B-RAD-S are always set to the correct preset, and the screen shows step by step which operations to perform in which order for each bolt.
It also checks (counting the number of bolts) that all bolts have been handled.

During the work, the operator is guided through the display and with visible and audible signals and thus always knows whether the procedure is performed correctly.
For example, if a bolt is accidentally skipped or tightened for a second time, ProTight™ will alert the operator.

If later this sticker is scanned again, the system will indicate which bolt still has to be tightened before it will print the OK sticker. In this way the system is still flexible and all results are directly visible with the sticker on the final product. Without scanning a correct job, the MB-RAD and B-RAD-S remain disabled by the program so that mistakes are prevented.

The end result is an error-free procedure as the user is guided step-by-step through on-screen instructions and with audible and visible signals.
As long as everything is not performed 100% correctly, an OK sticker cannot be printed out.
