Method and system for instantaneously logging data in electronic torque wrench

Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure 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 5 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.

Description

[0001] Divisional Application Statement [0002] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application filed on May 5, 2014, the title of the invention is "Method and System for Immediately Recording Data in an Electronic Torque Wrench", and the application number is 201410185678.1. technical field [0003] This application relates to a system for recording data from an electronic torque wrench. More specifically, the present application relates to a system for recording data instantaneously in real time from an electronic torque wrench and using the data in joint diagnostics and analysis. Background technique [0004] An electronic torque wrench is used to apply torque to a workpiece and to measure the torque applied by the wrench to said workpiece. The wrench can indicate to the user when the workpiece has been torqued to an appropriate torque value, eg, 100 ft-lb. Some electronic torque wrenches also measure the angle the workpiece has...
