[0002] In order to ensure accurate, stable and reliable control of fastener torque, high-precision electric gun tightening shafts and tightening shafts are often used to control the torque of key fasteners. During the gearbox assembly process, fasteners are used to connect the oil pump assembly, the torque converter housing assembly and the gearbox housing assembly, and the TCU assembly, which are related to the sealing and reliability of the gearbox assembly. Therefore, electric gun tightening shafts and tightening shafts have become key processes in the gearbox assembly process.

[0003] During production and use, the electric gun tightening shaft and tightening shaft need to be regularly inspected and calibrated using calibration tools to ensure that the sensor output is qualified and meets the requirements, is stable, and the tightening is reliable.

[0004] If the automatic station multi-axis tightening tool is a reused equipment, compared with the new tightening shaft, the supplier will provide a calibration report, so the reused and relocated equipment needs to be calibrated independently. The gearbox fastening points are compactly and densely distributed, so the distribution gap of the tightening shaft is small; the tightening shaft is fixed on the electric gun positioning plate as a whole, and disassembly and inspection and return installation affect the stability of the electric gun, and it needs to be inspected regularly according to the calibration plan, which has a long cycle and high cost, and is extremely unfavorable for actual production operation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and design a simple calibration tooling, and the equipment does not need to be disassembled to complete the online calibration. Utility Model Content
