shock reaction, one for straight tools, one for<br />
pistol grips, and one for angle nutrunners.<br />
The reading from the inline transducer<br />
is the installed torque during tightening.<br />
To calculate the force at the operator’s<br />
hand, the torque data is divided by the<br />
diameter of the straight tool. Or, for a pistol grip<br />
tool and an angle nutrunner, the torque data<br />
are divided by the effective length of the tool<br />
measured from the center of the grip handle to<br />
the spindle center. Force as a function of time is<br />
integrated and the value in Ns is compared with<br />
the evaluation curve to get the score.<br />
