Unique wireless feature sets a new standard for accurate static torque
measurement and dynamic torque control for all continuous and discontinuous
air driven tools especially the impact or pulse tool, regardless of tool brand and
its designed mechanism with proven satisfactory control accuracy and
durability.
It fits in-line between the air driven torque tool and the sockets. Used with the
TCA Torque Controller and closed-loop control for excellent torque control
accuracy allowing the use of one torque tool among several joints with various
hardness.
It solves the problem of the torque loss that is caused by the variation in the
joint hardness while bolting or the rise in temperature of hydraulic fluid in pulse
tools or the posture of holding the tool during continuous operation and
compensates the dynamic torque automatically within its allowable working
torque range.

7. 4
2.3 Torque and Force Monitor - TFM
TTES/TTEH/TTEB can be used along with a TFM and manual torque wrench to work as
a digital torque wrench for static torque control and torque verification.
The patented control algorithm enables the operator to measure the tightened torque
at 0.5o
angular movement to verify the most real and accurate torque applied to the
bolt. This advanced feature provides advantage over all digital torque wrenches on
the market.
2.4 Torque Sensing & Transmitting Socket with Reader– TTEHR/TSSHR
The patented socket designed for sensing and transmitting the torque signal to the
Torque Controller – TCA/TCB for real time closed loop torque control. While applying
to the innovative Tagged Bolt-TB or Sensing Bolt-SB, not only the bolting sequence can
be programmed in the Torque Controller for selected stages of bolting by sequence,
but also the bolting data along with the operator ID and the workpiece barcode can
be recorded in the memory of the tag of TB or flash memory in the SB. All information
can be uploaded to peripherals or cloud server for tracking the relevant responsibility
of work to ensure the highest quality and reliability of the joint.
2.5 Dongle – ZD
With the use of the Dongle attached to a PC/Tablet, any power torque tool with built-
in torque control mechanism, not only the bolting status throughout the process can
be monitored and all data such as the workpiece and operator ID as well as the time
and torque applied to the bolt will be up-loaded to PC/Tablet simultaneously for
further production management and job traceability.

4. Common problems & solutions of bolting works
Item Problems Solutions
1
Hard to control the target torque
accuracy due to the hydraulic fluid
temperature rise in pulse tool which
causes the torque to decline and torque
created by uncontrollable air impact
wrench mechanism which causes a
considerably strong vibration during
intermittent operation
Take advantage of ZIPPTORK Torque
Controller-TCA & Wireless Rotary
Torque Transducer-TTE, the sensed
torque and angle signal will be
transmitted from the TTE to TCA
simultaneously and wirelessly while
controlled by the patented control
device and algorithm to effectively
control any air driven impact or oil
pulse tool with satisfactory control
accuracy within ±5% ~ ±20%
2
Bolt joints characteristics - hard or soft
joint, cause unstable torque
controllability
The patented control algorithm and
device on Torque Controller-TCA will
compensate the dynamic torque loss
automatically to allow it to achieve
the target torque range
3
The torque control accuracy is always
affected by the tool impact
mechanism and the posture of how
the operator holds the tool during
operation
The closed-loop control and patented
control algorithm enables the Torque
Controller-TCA to control the torque
accuracy effectively regardless of the
tool brand and impact mechanism as
well as the holding posture of the
operator
4
The operator didn't follow the bolting
sequence to fasten the bolts and led to
uneven clamping force on the joints
Use the Torque Controller-TCA and the
Torque Sensing and Transmitting
Socket- TTEH/TSSH along with the
Tagged Bolt-TB or Sensing Bolt-SB, the
bolting sequence and stage of bolting
can be programmed in advance, not
only the operator has to obey the
bolting sequence, but also the torque
can be appropriately controlled at each
stage. The bolting data can also be
recorded for traceability to verify the
responsibility of fastened joints to
ensure the highest quality and
reliability of bolting
5
The torque controller needs to be
paired with specific torque tool
TCA applies to any air driven torque tool
regardless of the brand and its
mechanism
