Specification of tightening data (parameters):

• Excel
• Input to MDS
• SAP interface
• USB interface
• Copy and paste
  

Other requirements for pre-tightening generation as well combinations can be represented:

• Torque and Rotation angle
• Pre-tightening force
• Elongation
• Temperature
• multiple tightening before, after and during the
  pre-tensioning process
  
  

The following errors can be identified using MDS, amongst others:

• Incorrect bolt material
• Defective bolt material
• Incorrect flange material
• Defective flange material
• Incorrect seal material
• Defective seal material
• Too large gaps from pre-assembly
• Tightening force loss too high due to
• a: incorrect thread geometry of nut and/or bolt
• b: excessive surface roughness
• c: operating error when turning the main nut
• d: insufficient axial flank clearance

Computer-aided bolt pre-tensioning control for on-site use and MDS applications of general engineering applications using manual, air or electrical/hydraulic pressure generators.

SCHAAF MDS is ideally suited for:

• Generating a bolt pre-tensioning force for which 100% operational sequencing, safety and data logging are required.
• Engine-building: Main bearing, connecting rod bearing, cylinder head
• Power plants: e.g. Turbines, compressors
• Ring gear bolt connections: e.g. wind power plants
• Tower fittings: e.g. crane construction
• General mechanical engineering

All MDS are checked for 100 % process security. During order handling, they are accompanied by ongoing quality assurance measures and supplied
with extensive documentation.
.

SCHAAF MDS are user-friendly, reliable, and manufactured in accordance with the highest level of technical know-how. Our highly-motivated staff would be pleased to train your personnel, in situ or at our works, in the general handling
and operation of the mobile and stationary control unit. In this way, all the process parameters can be entered optimally in order to achieve maximum process monitoring and safety. Of course, the MDS are supplied ready for operation.
