Atlas Copco TC54P-P

Model Series: TC-54 Series (Dual-Channel Compact Grade)

Product Overview:
The TC54P-P is a dual-channel peak torque controller. The “P-P” suffix denotes two independent peak torque channels, enabling simultaneous control of two fastening axes or sequential dual-step tightening from a single controller unit.

Detailed content

Technical Specifications:

  • Torque Range (per channel): 0.2 – 54 Nm
  • Torque Accuracy: ±3% of reading
  • Repeatability: ±1% of reading
  • Control Mode: Dual Peak Torque (P-P)
  • Power Supply: 24 V DC
  • Communication: 4 digital I/O, RS-232 optional
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to +45°C
  • Protection Rating: IP54

Functional Features:

  • Two fully independent torque channels (Channel A + Channel B)
  • Independent peak values for each channel
  • Sequential or simultaneous dual-step tightening
  • LED status per channel (green = pass, red = fail, yellow = warning)
  • Teach-in for both channels
  • Total cycle counter

Structural Characteristics:

  • Housing: PA66-GF30 glass-fiber reinforced polyamide
  • Dimensions: 140 x 90 x 50 mm
  • Dual 4-digit LED displays (one per channel)
  • Two M12 8-pin screwdriver connectors
  • 6 front-panel membrane buttons

Material Composition:

  • Housing: PA66-GF30 (glass-fiber reinforced polyamide)
  • Internals: FR-4 PCB with conformal coating
  • Connectors: PBT with gold-plated contacts

Working Principle:
Each channel independently samples torque from its connected screwdriver. Channel A completes its peak torque cycle first, then triggers Channel B (sequential mode), or both fire simultaneously (parallel mode). The controller cuts motor power upon reaching the set torque on each respective channel.

Key Advantages:

  • Dual-channel from one unit — reduces cabling and controller count
  • Enables complex two-step tightening strategies (e.g., snug + final torque)
  • Cost-effective alternative to two separate controllers
  • Compact size saves panel space

Applicable Industries:
Automotive interior assembly, Furniture manufacturing, Electrical enclosure assembly, Consumer goods production

Installation Requirements:

  • Panel or wall mount (bracket supplied)
  • 24 V DC power supply, minimum 3 A (dual channel draws more current)
  • Two M12 cables to respective screwdrivers (max. 3 m each)
  • Maintain 50 mm separation between controller and high-frequency welding equipment

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not mix channels — each channel must be calibrated independently
  • Total torque across both channels must not exceed 54 Nm per channel limit
  • Verify both channels before production start
  • Clean connectors monthly in dusty environments
