13 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools For your safety
2.7.1 Torque reaction forces
WARNING
Torque reaction force To avoid injury: Be alert and maintain good balance, footing, and posture at all times in anticipation of the power tool torque
reaction. Do not over-extend or over-reach. Always check directional control setting before operating the power tool.
WARNING
Unexpected reaction force To avoid injury: Be prepared when a power tool operates in the disassembly direction, the torque reaction is opposite to the
reaction produced when the power tool operates in the assembly direction. The power tool can have a higher initial reaction force when loosening a fastener. Always stop the power tool before changing the direction of spindle rotation.
2.7.2 Repetitive motion
The use of power tools may involve highly repetitive motions of the fingers, hands, wrists, and shoulders. These repetitive motions can lead to cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). Many personal and workplace factors can contribute to these disorders. Currently available data have identified the following risk factors. These risk factors are not necessarily causation factors of CTDs. The mere presence of a risk factor does not necessarily mean there is excessive risk of injury. Generally, the greater the exposure to a single risk factor or combination of factors the greater the risk for CTDs. Forceful exertions and motions Extreme postures and motions Repetitive exertions and motions Intended duration of exertion, postures, motions, vibration, and cold Insufficient rest or pauses Work organization risk factors Environmental risk factors These risk factors span job design and content, operator training, work method, work pace, work environment, proper tool selection and other workplace factors beyond the control of the tool manufacturer. Tool owners and employers should analyze jobs for all the risk factors identified above and take appropriate action. Some measures which may reduce the risk of CTDs: Use minimum hand grip force consistent with proper control and safe operation. Keep wrists as straight as possible. Avoid repetitive movements of the hands and wrists.
14 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools For your safety
If wrist pain, hand tingling, numbness, or other disorders of the shoulders, arm, wrist or finger occur; notify supervisor, discontinue task, reassign user to a different job, if relief is not found contact experts skilled in treating such disorders.
Wrist supports, torque reaction devices, and balancers should be used if it can be determined that such devices can reduce the risk of repetitive motion disorders.
2.7.3 Hearing protection WARNING
Noise Hazard To avoid Injury: Unprotected exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling, hearing loss and other problems,
such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). Risk assessment and implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping materials to prevent work
pieces from “ringing”. Power tool operators and adjacent personnel may be exposed to excessive sound levels. The tool in use is generally only one of many sources of noise that an operator experiences. Other tools and machines in the area, joint assembly noise, work processes, and other ambient noise sources all contribute to the sound level operators are exposed to. The actual sound level an individual is exposed to and the individual’s exposure time over the workday are important factors in determining hearing protection requirements. Worker sound level exposure can only be determined at the job site and is the responsibility of tool owners and employers. Measure worker sound level exposure and identify high-risk noise areas where hearing protection is required. Follow federal (OSHA), state or local sound level statues, ordinances and or regulations.
15 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools For your safety
2.7.4 Vibration hazards
WARNING
Vibration hazards To avoid injury: Long-term exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands
and arms. Keep the hands away from the nutrunner sockets. Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry. If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop using the
nutrunner, tell your employer and consult a physician. Operate and maintain the nutrunner to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels. Do not use worn or ill-fitting sockets or extensions, as this is likely to cause a substantial increase in
vibration. Select, maintain and replace the drive socket to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels. Sleeve fittings can help align rotating spindles and should be used where practical. Support the weight of the nutrunner in a stand or balancer, if possible. The risk from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher. Hold the nutrunner with a light but
safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces.
Power tools can vibrate during use. To minimize the possible effects of vibration: Keep hands and body dry. Avoid anything that inhibits blood circulation such as tobacco, cold temperatures and certain drugs. Operators should notify their employer when experiencing prolonged symptoms of pain, tingling, numbness
or blanching of the fingers. Wear vibration damping gloves if it can be determined that they reduce the risk of vibration disorders without
introducing other hazards.
2.7.5 Breathing protection
Respirators shall be used where contaminants in the work area present a hazard.
2.7.6 Projectile hazards
WARNING
Projectile hazard To avoid injury: Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of the inserted tool (socket) itself may generate high
velocity projectiles. Always wear impact-resistant eye protection during operation of the nutrunner. The grade of protection
required should be assessed for each use. Ensure that the work piece is securely fixed.
16 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools
For your safety
2.7.7 Entanglement hazard
WARNING
Entanglement hazard To avoid injury: Entanglement hazards such as choking, scalping and/or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, personal
jewelry, neck ware, hair or gloves are not kept away from the power tool and accessories. Gloves can become entangled with the rotating drive, causing severed or broken fingers. Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions can easily entangle rubber coated or metal reinforced gloves. Do not wear loose fitting gloves or gloves with cut or frayed fingers. Never hold the drive, socket or drive extension. Keep hands away from rotating drives.
2.7.8 Operating hazards
1. Use of the tool may expose the operator’s hands to hazards including crushing, impacts, cuts, abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands.
2. Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
3. Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements have both hands available. 4. Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing. 5. In cases where the means to absorb the reaction torque are requested it is recommended to use a
suspension arm whenever possible. If that is not possible, side handles are recommended for straight nutrunners and pistol grip nutrunners. In any case it is recommended to use means, such as reaction bars, to absorb the reaction torque above: for straight nutrunners 4 Nm, for pistol grip nutrunners 110 N, for angle nutrunner 200 N. 6. Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer. 7. Fingers can be crushed in open-ended crowfoot nutrunners. 8. Do not use in confined spaces: beware of crushing hands between tool and work piece, especially when in Disassembly mode.
2.7.9 Accessory hazards
1. Disconnect the tool from the power supply (battery pack) before changing the inserted tool or accessory. 2. Do not touch sockets or accessories during operation, as this increases the risk of cuts, burns or vibration
injuries. 3. Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommended by the manufacturer of
the tool; do not use other types or sizes of accessories or consumables.
2.7.10 Workplace hazards
1. Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool
2. Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There can be hidden hazards, such as electricity or other utility lines.
3. The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against contact with electric power.

About the cordless tool

A B-Series cordless tool from STANLEY Assembly Technologies is designed to secure, or fasten, threaded fasteners in industrial assembly operations or for precision position and or adjustment applications only. It utilizes closed loop control of torque, speed and angle so that it can perform various routines to secure each fastener with the highest quality results. The high precision torque and angle sensors provide feedback to the integrated digital control circuit. This circuit compares the feedback values to the programmed values and adjusts the servo motor’s power and speed values to maintain the programmed speed on the output of the tool until the fastener has achieved the programmed target torque and/or angle value. Once the programmed target value is sensed the control circuit turns off the servo motor leaving the fastener with the desired amount of preload or clamping force.

The B-Series cordless tool uses a Lithium-Ion battery pack as its power source.

Use the recommended Lithium-Ion Battery Charger to charge the battery pack.

Programming tightening strategies into the B-Series cordless tool can be done with or without a STANLEY Assembly Technologies QBE controller. The cordless tool has an embedded transceiver and communicates to the QBE Controller via an IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n WIFI connection. See Chapter Pairing tool to controller [} 26] for instructions on pairing the cordless tool to the controller. See the QBE controller manual for instructions on programming.

The RBRCTM seal

The RBRCTM (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs) indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already been paid by STANLEY. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative. RBRCTM, in cooperation with STANLEY and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries to an authorized STANLEY service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery pack. RBRCTM is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.

4.6

Charger

Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery pack and the BSeries cordless tool. The STANLEY supplied Lithium-Ion battery pack charger is designed to charge Lithium-ion battery packs. This charger requires no adjustment and is designed to be as easy as possible to operate. Simply place your battery pack into the receptacle of a plugged-in charger and it will automatically charge the pack.

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Charging a battery

B-Series Cordless Tools Tool setup

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack. 2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown, making sure the pack is fully seated in the charger. The
red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has started. 3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. Charge Indicators: Battery pack charging Battery pack charged Hot/Cold delay Hot/Cold delay:
When the charger detects a battery pack that is hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has cooled. After the battery pack has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the battery pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life. The red-light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation.
23 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools Tool setup
Leaving the faulty battery pack in the charger: The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing pack charged. Weak battery packs: Weak battery packs will continue to function but should not be expected to perform as much work. Faulty battery packs: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate a faulty battery pack by refusing to illuminate light. Problem power line: Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed by a pause. This indicates the power sources is out of limits. Important charging notes: Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18 – 24°C). DO not charger the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack, The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as a metal shed or uninsulated trailer. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms. If the battery pack does not charge properly: Check operation of the receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. Check to see if the receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns the power off when you turn off the
lights. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F
– 75°F (18 – 24°C). If charging problem persist, take the tool, battery pack, and charger to your local service center.
4.7.1 Storage recommendations
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not in use.
For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE

identification, calibration factors and fastening cycle counters. Memory parameters include:
Model number Serial number Torque cal (calibration) factor Gear ratio Fastening cycle counters Jobs parameters Fastening cycle data Trace data Program Event log Torque targets

5.5

Fastening cycle counters

B-Series cordless tool have on board counters that record the number of fastening cycles completed by the tool. The cycle counts are updated on the tool memory every 1 cycle. If the tool is de-energized before the cycle counts is written (See Chapter Display [} 29] it explains when it is safe to de-energize the tool), the number buffered since last write will be lost.
Odometer counter- Records the total number of fastening cycle the tool has completed during its lifetime.
Trip counter- Records the number of fastening cycles the tool completed since the last reset to zero.
PM counter- Records the number of fastening cycles the tool completed since the last reset to zero. Interacts with PM Threshold.

32 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools Operating procedure

PM threshold- A static value set by the end user. When the PM Counter exceeds the PM Threshold (Limit), the controller provides a maintenance alert. The alert is an orange indicator on the front of the controller and on the tool which illuminate.
The controller reads the fastening cycle counters from the tool on each power up.

5.6

Fastening cycle data

The B-Series cordless tool stores data for 500 fastening cycles and 2 traces (Starting 5.2.12/1). These values can be viewed and retrieved wirelessly through a STANLEY Controller, wirelessly using Alpha Toolbox on a computer, or with a Micro-USB cable using the Alpha Toolbox Gateway program.
This data can be analysed to determine root cause of failures when securing the fastener. Please contact STANLEY Assembly Technologies or a STANLEY Assembly Technologies Authorized Distributor for information or assistance on STANLEY training and data analysis.
This data can be retrieved manually or automatically. If an enterprise level client/server data collection software system is employed all the data from all the tools in the facility can be collected into one database and displayed using the end user’s graphic reports software. The B-Series cordless tool will need to remain in radio contact with an assigned STANLEY Controller to facilitate data collection.

5.7

Tool operation

Pair the tool to a STANLEY Controller. See Chapter Pairing tool to controller [} 26]. Read the STANLEY Controller instruction manual to understand programming of strategies to run the STANLEY B-Series cordless tool.

5.7.1 Worklights on B-Series pistol tools
There are two worklights located above the MFB, below the motor. The worklights are activated when the trigger switch is depressed, and will automatically turn off after the programmed number of seconds after the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the worklights will remain on.
NOTE : The worklights are for lighting the immediate work surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight.

5.7.2 Program selection
The B-Series cordless tool can have up to 16 tasks programmed. Those tasks are divided amongst up to 16 Jobs. The MFB can be used to select job/task 1 and 2. If it is desired to select and run more than two programmed Jobs or tasks the B-Series cordless tool will need to remain in radio contact with an assigned STANLEY controller.
The STANLEY controllers have various means of changing the selected Job/Task such as inputs or barcode scans of product. Read the STANLEY controller manual to understand how to select a job/task.

33 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools Operating procedure
5.7.3 Directional control
WARNING
Unexpected reaction forces To avoid injury: Be prepared when a tool operates in reverse, the tool’s torque reaction is opposite to the reaction produced
when the tool operates in forward direction. The tool can have a higher initial reaction force when loosening a fastener. Always stop the tool before changing direction of spindle rotation.
Clockwise is the normal direction for securing a fastener, however a fastener can have left hand threads which requires the tool’s output to turn counter-clockwise to secure the fastener. The direction of rotation to secure a fastener is programmed in the controller. If a disassembly, or reverse, operation is required the operator must press the MFB to change the tool’s mode to disassembly. Then the start trigger switch is pressed to run the tool in disassembly mode. While the tool is in disassembly mode, the blue disassembly ready light [1] will illuminate if the tool is ready to run, all the tool’s display status lights [3] and [6] will flash and the tool’s noise maker will emit a tone that alternates between on and off. To return the direction of rotation to assembly, or forward, the operator must press the MFB again. The blue assembly ready light [2] will illuminate if the tool is ready to run, the tool’s status lights will no longer flash and the alternating tone will stop.
5.7.4 Tool temperature
WARNING
Potential burn hazard Fixtured tools have higher operating temperatures and do not have additional thermal protection. To avoid injury: Wear thermal protective gloves when handling fixtured tools.
Stanley electric tools are thermally protected to prevent overheating. Temperature is sensed inside the tool, either in the motor windings of E series or on the resolver board on EA/ EB/EC tools and the value is reported to the controller. The thermal protection does not allow the tool to operate if the tool temperature raises abnormally the thermal protector resets automatically when the tool cools down. The maximum tool temperature before damage occurs is 150 °C. EN60745-1 Hand-held motor-operated electric tools – Safety is the most applicable standard to the B series tools. It defines +60 °C as the limit for thermal rise over ambient of a contactable surface (e.g. if the ambient is 25 °C, the surface limit is 85 °C). In high duty cycle conditions where the gear case temperature can exceed 85 °C before the internal tool temperature, Stanley Assembly Technologies offers thermal gear case covers that will protect the operator from exposure to elevated temperatures. Stanley Assembly allows the temperature limit adjustment to provide flexibility to the professional user. Once a customer changes the setting from the factory default, it is their responsibility to ensure the safety of the user.
34 / 328

B-Series Cordless Tools Operating procedure
Controller parameter settings can have a significant effect on tool operating temperatures.
5.7.5 Setting operating parameters
WARNING
Excessive torque condition To avoid injury: Only trained and qualified personnel should program controllers. Never set control limits above the maximum rating of the tool. Setting control limits above the maximum rating of the tool can cause high reaction torque. Always test for proper tool operation after programming via the controller.
CAUTION
Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque may cause breakage and possible personal injury.
The STANLEY Controller is used to setup the tool’s fastening strategies inside jobs and tasks. Read the STANLEY Controller manual to learn how to program strategies. Even though the STANLEY Controller can be used to program the B-Series cordless tool, the parameters are stored in the tool and not the controller. The tool can be preprogrammed in a lab or tool crib prior to placing on line in a facility.
5.7.6 Assembly (forward) operation
Prepare to resist the tool’s torque reaction. Keep the tool axis in line with the axis of the fastener, i.e. make sure the tool is perpendicular to the fastener (workpiece). Start the tool by depressing the start trigger switch. The tool stops after reaching torque. Release start trigger switch after the cycle is complete. For Push-to-Start tools press the tool into the workpiece to apply pressure to the output of the tool to start the tool. The tool stops after reaching torque. Release the pressure after the cycle is complete.
5.7.7 Disassembly (reverse) operation
Prepare to resist the tool’s torque reaction which will be the opposite of the assembly reaction. Start the tool by depressing the start lever or push-to-start switch. The tool is not running inside of a strategy so it will not stop on its own. Release start lever or push-to-start switch after sufficient time or rotation to stop the tool.
5.7.8 Sleep mode
The B-Series cordless tool has a sleep timer that allows it to conserve battery power when not in use. The sleep timer can be enabled or disabled. If disabled, the B-Series cordless tool will never go to sleep. This is not recommended. If the sleep timer is enabled a time value in minutes must be entered. The minimum value is 1 minute and the maximum value is 60 minutes.
