Product catalog summary
Course Objectives
The document outlines the objectives of the QC Qualifier course, which include understanding product applications, system functionality, and setup procedures. Key terms and programming of the Process Qualifier System are also covered.

QC Qualifier Capabilities
The QC Qualifier assists in error-proofing, batch counting, and process flow control for threaded fasteners. It evaluates fastening cycles based on air flow but does not measure torque. Critical joints should be verified with appropriate equipment. The system includes features like easy setup, error detection, process qualification, and compatibility with PFCS protocol.

Model Breakdown
Four models of QC Qualifiers are available, each designed for specific tool compatibility and networking options. Models include QC100-S-K, QC100-N-K, QC200-S-K, and QC200-N-K, catering to both non-shutoff and shutoff tools.

Tool Compatibility
The qualifier is compatible with various pneumatic tools but has limitations with push-to-start tools and some nutrunners. It restricts flow to 55 scfm, which may affect tool performance.

Qualifier Kit Components
The kit includes a control panel, remote sensor module, regulator, solenoid valve, and power supply, facilitating setup and operation.

Basic Functionality
The system uses air flow measurements to create a rundown signature, identifying OK/NOK cycles. The process is divided into four zones, each indicating different stages of fastening.

System Setup and Programming
Setup involves connecting air hoses, network cables, and power supply, taking approximately 10 minutes. Programming involves clearing previous settings, entering torque targets, learning joint characteristics, and setting batch counts.

Admin Menu
The admin menu allows parameter adjustments, security settings, and alarm configurations to suit operator preferences.

Applications
The QC Qualifiers are suitable for industries like motor vehicles, farm equipment, and general assembly, especially where transducerized accuracy is not required and process control is desired.

QC Qualifier-12

How the Product Works The qualifier takes a series of air flow measurements from the RSM and turns the data into a four zone rundown signature to detect OK vs. NOK fastening cycles. An example of a typical rundown signature for a pulse tool is shown below in Figure 1. > 12 size="-1">

QC Qualifier-13

Zone 1 -The tool is starting and the level of flow will indicate if the fastener is cross-threaded or free spinning. > Zone 2 -Is free speed and is the zone showing the free run-down of the bolt. > Zone 3 ՖBegins when the fastener has seated and reached snug torque. > Zone 4 The final tightening phase where near the end equilibrium is attained. >
