Monitoring unit. Advanced power
TPU M1 monitoring unit represents a great innovation able to monitoring and managing all tools functionalities.
This sophisticated instrument that not only provides the tools with the correct power supply, but also features a large number of very useful functions that can be programmed quickly, easily and intuitively.
Basic functions
Here are some of them: essentials to monitoring a tightening process correctly and making it reliable.
- It automatically recognizes the tool connected and configures themselves immediately to its parameters, so operators cannot make initial setup errors
- Displays the tightening outcome OK/NOK in addition to the tightening time
- Screws counting: this function turns the system into an effective Poka Yoke device
- It detects process anomalies, for example stripped threads or screws already tightened
- Store up to 99 tightening operations
- It communicates with the outside, the PLC or other devices, and can be controlled remotely
- It solves tightening situations with critical joints, for example with flexible gaskets, or components made of rubber or other materials.
Programming “SMART PRO EVO”
Other functions can be activated/deactivated acting directly on the control unit.
FOUR START UP MODES can be set on the control unit:
- lever start
- push to start
- lever + push to start
- “Latched lever” + push to start.

UNTIGHTENING FUNCTION activable/deactivable. Settable untightening speed
The SOFT START FUNCTION: the ramp speed acceleration is not fixed but it is possible to set the time acceleration to ease screw engagement
The TOOL SPEED: can be set within the minimum/maximum range.
Other additional settable features are:
PRE-SELF UNTIGHTENING: it is possible to set the untightening angle and the pause between the untightening and the subsequent tightening. This strategy finds its application in the electrical / electronic field, for example when it is necessary to open and then close connectors to insert electrical wires.
POST-SELF UNTIGHTENING: the untightening angle is settable as well as the time pause of left rotation start after the tightening end.
STOP-BY-TIME TIGHTENING
When it is necessary to tighten threaded fasteners to a certain height and not to a defined torque. This is made by checking the tightening time.
TIGHTENING STRATEGIES
- Torque control with mechanical clutch
- Torque control with mechanical clutch and tightening time monitoring
- Angle control and tightening time monitoring
- Time control (Stop-by-time tightening)
