6.2.4 Point-to-Point Torque Rate Monitoring
The Fusion System is capable of performing 3 torque rate calculations. The Point
rate method performs the calculation based upon completing a step of the process, and then calcula
ing the rate for the full duration of that step. The chart below identifies the different areas that torque
rate can be calculated. Each Torque Rate is calculated by dividing the change in torque during the
specific period by the change in angle.
Example: 25Nm / 100deg. = 0.25 Nm/Deg. (rate)
NOTE: Setting any of the Torque Rate
END TORQUE will eliminate the torque rate
