Method and System for Instantaneously Logging Data in an Electronic Torque Wrench

摘要

An electronic torque wrench is disclosed that instantaneously logs data in real time from a torqueing operation and can later transfer the data to an external device, such as a computer, for further analysis. For example, the computer can create a graph that can be analyzed to determine relevant parameters of the torqueing profile. The parameters of the graph can be analyzed to determine whether the torqueing operation was performed properly for a particular work piece or job task, or to assist users in future torqueing operations.

1. A tool comprising:
a head coupled to a sensor adapted to sense torqueing parameters of a torqueing operation applied to a work piece; a memory operably coupled to the sensor and adapted to receive a signal including data relating to the torqueing parameters at a predetermined frequency and further adapted to store the data; an interface adapted to receive a sampling interval indicating the predetermined frequency; and a transceiver adapted to interface the tool with an external device for analysis of the data.
