Interface Graph Loader
the hardware with installed software for EC- and EC-Servo screwdriving systems
in combination with the sequence controllers AST5, AST6, AST11 and AST40
The Interface Graph Loader is an optional accessory for the automatic transfer of
screwdriving curves and final value data sets from DEPRAG screwdriving controllers. The Part no. 385834A
Interface can be used with EC and EC servo screwdriving systems in combination with
screwdriving controllers AST5, AST6, AST11 and AST40.
The storage of screwdriving graphs and end value data sets (e.g. torque, angle etc.) for Activation key 118742
manual work stations and screwdriving stations can be carried out automatically using
the Interface Graph Loader.
The corresponding software enables immediate display on the computer screen of the
current screwdriving graph, the screw assembly can be evaluated straight after comple-
tion and *csv and *bin files can be saved in individual directories.
The device requires a suitable adapter cable, a sequence controller ASTxx with screwdri-
ver and a PC to save the data.

in combination with the sequence controllers AST5, AST6, AST11 und AST40
The software datalogger can be used to record and archive the final-values of up to 10
sequence controllers. This storage format corresponds with the required format of the Activation key 202699
software statistics, so that the data sets can be analyzed with the software statistics. Se-
lect whether the data is collected automatically while the program is running, or whether
the data reading should be triggered manually. The connection to the controllers is done
by Ethernet and TCP/IP. The software is available in the following languages:
German, English, French, Italian, Spanish

DEPRAG Clamp Force Control
the software for EC- and EC-Servo screwdriving systems
in combination with the sequence controller AST40
This reliable, adaptive screwdriving procedure provides excellent constancy in the pre-
load force even with fluctuating torque. Activation key 109108
The complete screw assembly consists of the screwdriving template seating point detec-
tion and a screw assembly to difference torque or angle.
The main element is the seating point detection. On the basis of a torque procedure a
mathematical evaluation function is continuously formed. If the trend line reached ex-
ceeds a specifically defined limit value, the seating point is considered detected and
the torque and angle values at the time of the seating point are saved. The evaluation
procedure combines two essential advantages. It is robust in relation to coincidental fluc-
tuations and increases during the torque procedure which do not arise from the actual
seating point. Furthermore, the algorithm is universally valid so the user does not need to
set any parameters specific to the evaluation. There is also no need for time-consuming
preliminary tests and parametrisations by the experts at DEPRAG. The parameters listed
in the following table must be set. Torque upper limit is the abort criterion for the screw-
driving step. The OK window for the seating point detection can optionally be monitored
by seating point torque lower/upper limit and angle lower/upper level. Either the torque
or angle values at the seating point or at the end of the program step can be stored as
the end values.
Parameter Function
The end values of the screwdriving template seating point detection portray the reference
for the follow-on program step. Instead of screw assembly to difference torque the other
option is screw assembly to angle.
The screwdriving procedure is used for applications where varying limiting conditions are
present which can cause widely ranging torques. Using a torque controlled tightening
procedure, even if there is the highest shut-off accuracy, can lead to large fluctuations in
the resulting pre-load force. The new adaptive screwdriving procedure DEPRAG Clamp
Force Control ensures uniform output for the follow-on end tightening due to the reliable
detection of the seating point. Consequently, there is a better constancy in the pre-load
force. Typical application examples are direct screw assemblies in plastic or metal.
The procedure DEPRAG Clamp Force Control does not replace the friction value meas-
urement or the friction dependent screw assembly. The screwdriving template friction
value measurement can be used if compliance with the pre-set frictional value needs to
be monitored. The friction dependent torque assembly also enables a good constancy
of the pre-load force for constant frictional torque procedures where the screw position
varies. A screw joint analysis is recommended to determine the most suitable screwdriv-
ing procedure.

Friction value screwdriving
the software for EC- and EC-Servo screwdriving systems
in combination with the sequence controllers AST5, AST6, AST11 and AST40
With the friction-value process, it is possible to measure and compensate varying friction-
values (e.g. on self-forming screw-joints). Additionally, this procedure can be used for Activation key 201820
monitoring of predetermined friction values at verification processes.
During each screw assembly when using a sequence controller AST, the relevant meas-
urement values are recorded in a file. There is now the DEPRAG Graph Viewer, to simply Activation key 128901
and easily evaluate and analyse these measurement values.
The Graph Viewer opens the curve files of each sequence controller and can display the
following visualisations:
As well as the screwdriving curves, the processing and parameter data is also accessible.
The complete process can be analysed and evaluated using a single piece of software.
The process data can be printed as documentation.

DEPRAG Data eXchange
the software for EC- and EC-Servo screwdriving systems
in combination with the sequence controllers ASTxx and ADAPTIVE DFS
AST sequence controllers, the adaptive screwdriving system ADAPTIVE DFS and the
ComCenter document relevant processing data for every screw assembly, which is then Activation key 132680
saved in a distinctive DEPRAG format.
The so-called “graphic files” contain all screw curves, end values and details relating to
the screwdriving process and are only readable by DEPRAG’s own software solutions. In
order to use and analyse this data in other systems, it is necessary to convert the internal
format into a universal machine-readable format.
The new software solution DEPRAG Data eXchange enables DEPRAG graphic files to
be exported either as csv or Excel files. This data can now be used in other software
solutions. Optional areas of application include:
Compatibility: all Windows systems (7, 8, 10) without any need for configuration. The
software configures itself and is ready to run with just one click.

TIA Link
the software for EC- and EC-Servo screwdriving systems
in combination with the sequence controllers AST11, AST40, AST6 including the i-versions and for the ComCenter 10
- AST11
- AST40 incl. i-versions
- AST 6 incl. i-versions
- ComCenter 10
The software not only includes integration in the TIA portal for the above products but
also several Quick-Start projects in the “structured text” programming language which
enable immediate execution of screw assemblies. After starting the software in the TIA
portal, the first screw assembly can be carried out straightaway without dealing with
communication using the user manual.
The great advantage: a significant time saving due to considerably reduced pro-
gramming efforts.

trollers to the QSTAT program. Using this process data, evaluations and key figures can
be used to optimise the process at an early stage.
With the friction-value process, it is possible to measure and compensate varying friction-
values (e.g. on self-forming screw-joints). Additionally, this procedure can be used for Part no. 829614
monitoring of predetermined friction values at verification processes.
