‘The EPKC equipment carries out three successive functions needed to set a RIVKLE®:
© Screwing
© Setting
+ Unscrewing
Setting is carried out by a hydraulic cylinder inside the setting head. Pressure is generated by an air
pressure/oll multiplier.
‘Screwing and unscrewing are carried out by a pneumatic motor coupled to a mandrel.
A single push of the RIVKLE® on the mandral triggers the screwing up to the anvil (‘Push-pull
principle).
After screwing the RIVKLE® and introducing it into the support housing, the setting is carried out by
the pushbutton on the setting head.

Presentation of the operator interface
‘The machine is fitted with a programmable touch screen for cycle management, operator dialogue and
parameters setting of the device.
The operator interface (HMI) is used to dialogue with the equipment via a touch screen. This allows
you to access the different operating modes and take action if any faults occur.
By pressing the symbols shown on the screen (buttons, error messages, digital keyboard, etc...) you
can access the different menus or change the machine parameters
In order to facilitate the use of this guide, each screen is explained in a separate chapter.
When powering up the device, the welcome screen appears so that the operator can access the
different menus.

RIVKLE © Type EPK setting tool
1. Screwing operation: by pushing the RIVKLE® against
the mandrel, the screwing operation is activated unti the
RIVKLE@ jis screwed up to the anvil (push-pull function)
2, Insertion in the part hole: insert manually the in the part
hole and maintain the setting head perpendicular to the
bearing surface.
3, Setting operation: once the RIVKLE® is in place in the
part hole and perpendicular to the bearing surface,
activate the cycle start button on the head to engage the
setting operation
4, Unscrewing operation: in production mode, the
unscrewing operation is automatic, Indeed, a pre~
programmed timer allows a back-friendly unscrewing. The
time of the unscrewing can be set in the menu "Timers
and counters’. This time varies according to the thread
length engaged on the mandrel
{As standard, the mastery of setting is ensured by a cut-out of the hydraulic pressure on reaching pre-
programmed level. This setting process is called "Pressure setting’
Forced unscrewing
It the automatic unscrewing does not star, itis possible to unscrew by force by pressing the
“Unscrew” button on the setting head,RIVKLE © Type EPK setting tool
Counting
As standard, the equipment has two counters which can be set (according to the chosen parameters
set)
+ The RIVKLE® counter
* Optional: a counter for the customers parts, called “Part series counter’ (check use with the
“Clamping” option),
‘The RIVKLE® counter allows the number of RIVKLEG® left o be set on the part to be displayed (the
parameter “Preset” corresponds to the number of RIVILE® to be set on each part). When a part is,
complete this counter reaches 0.
The part series counter allows the number of customers parts (completed) left to produce. When a
batch is complete this counter reaches 0.
‘Comment:
‘The P1 plug at the back of the control unit can be used to acknowledge this end of cycle from the
automaton.
Cycle safety
The quality control of the setting cycle is handled by the stroke read by the linear sensor. The
recorded value must be in the pre-programmed range.
Emergency stop
Pressing the “emergency stop” pushbutton causes stops the current cycle. To continue, the operator
has to unlock the “emergency stop", acknowledge the fault on the touch screen and then push the
white button “start-up”, The unscrewing operation is now possible.4.3.3.Set of parameters selection

‘The adjustment is extremely important.
Adjustment:
By adjusting the length of the valve (with M2.5 screw), the aim is to find the right compromise to obtain
‘a setting that does not run the motor at rest and when opening the valve, to obtain the maximum
torque of the pneumatic motor.
Ideal length for starting the adjustment is 1.5mm.
