Lock Bolt Options

The Lock Bolt Install operation provides the following options:

• Lock Bolt Collar and Hand Tool Obstructed or Blind

Lock Bolt provides the following options:

Lock Bolt Obstructed Or Vision

Specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to place the bolt (see Lock Bolt Formulas). The default setting in starting point VPEs is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following options:

• Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)

• Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)

The time added is looked up by the current process, task, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Lock Bolt Formulas.

For both this setup option and Lock Bolt Collar and Hand Tool Obstructed or Blind, the lookup table tblProcessSetupOptionSelection lists the possible settings; the entry with 1 in the priority column provides the default for both setup options.

Lock Bolt Collar and Hand Tool Obstructed or Blind

Specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to place the collar and position a hand tool (see Lock Bolt Formulas). The default setting in starting point VPEs is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:

• Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)

• Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)

The time added is looked up by the current process, task, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Lock Bolt Formulas.

Note that the time is added to both the time to place the collar and the time to tighten it. (Any obstruction and/or vision problem indicated by this option is assumed to apply to both the placement and the tightening task, since both tasks involve access to the relevant portion of the assembly from the same direction.)

For Lock Bolt and Threaded Insert setup options, the lookup table tblProcessSetupOptionSelection lists the possible settings. The entry with 1 in the priority column provides the default for all setup options.
