Abstract:
An improved multi-bolt and nut torque wrench for installing and removing bolts or nuts from flanged joints or the like which includes a plurality of torque stations having a plurality of high torque wrenches for engaging the heads of the bolts or nuts during a high torque phase of removal or installation; a plurality of low-torque motors operatively engaged with the wrenches for rotating the bolts or nuts during the low torque phase of removal or installation; a source of hydraulic fluid for driving the low-torque motors during the low-torque phase, and driving the high-torque wrenches during the high torque phase; and a mechanism for switching between the two phases depending on the torque needed.

Claim (Index 28):
A multi-bolt or nut torque wrench system for installing or removing a plurality of fasteners each having a threaded bolt and a nut on a riser, the system comprising:\n (a) a plurality of torque stations, each torque station including:\n (i) a wrench body that includes first and second end portions, and a drive head on the first end portion of the body; \n (ii) a torque wrench operatively connected to the drive head for rotating a threaded bolt member at a rotational speed under a torque condition, the threaded bolt member including a driven head; \n (iii) a horizontal positioning mechanism for moving the drive head in a generally horizontal direction; \n (iv) a vertical positioning mechanism for moving the drive head in a generally vertical direction, wherein when the drive head engages the threaded bolt member, the drive head encases the driven head of the threaded bolt member from a vertical direction generally above the head of the threaded bolt member, and wherein the vertical positioning mechanism can vertically position the drive head independently from operation of the horizontal positioning mechanism, further comprising a frame that encircles said riser and said plurality of torque stations are on said frame, and wherein the horizontal positioning mechanism moves the drive head along a radially extending line; \n (b) a controller that controls the plurality of torque stations, including the torque wrenches, the horizontal positioning mechanism, and the vertical positioning mechanisms such that the plurality of drive heads engage their respective bolt or nut members.
