System components:
FlexCarrier
Power supply and communication are directly routed through the FlexCarrier. This takes place of the previous generation's distributor box. Thus, a distribution box is no longer needed, equaling space savings on the plant floor.• Exists in 3-slot and 6-slot (3-slot shown) • Distributes power, 24 VDC, e-stop and Ethernet
FlexController
This component includes the brains of the system, the IAM. All programs and functionality exist within the IAM, which controls synchronization of up to 50 QST spindles.• Contains the central processing logic • Internal and external communication • Controls up to 50 drives / spindles
FlexDrives
Atlas Copco PF6 FlexDrives run the QST spindles. The drives also convert the electrical input to suitable voltage levels for the tightening process. Note that all slots in the FlexCarrier must be occupied by a FlexController or a FlexBlank.• Include the servo driving each tool • Convert power to suitable voltage levels • Power cable port to tool
FlexBlank
To fulfill the IP cooling and E-Stop functionality of PF6 FlexSystem, all slots in the FlexCarrier must be filled. If a FlexBlank is required, it must always be present in the remaining empty slots in a chain of components within a FlexCarrier. (from left to right)• Each spot in the FlexCarrier must be filled. • If there is no need of a FlexController or FlexDrive, a blank module must be added.
