Abstract

A method and a system for assembling a screw connection for a predefined operating load. The system includes a detector configured to detect values of at least one influence factor on the screw connection, a calculator configured to determine, based on the operating load, a required pretensioning force of the screw connection, and, based on the determined pretensioning force, to determine an expression of at least one assembly parameter, and an assembler configured to assemble the screw connection in accordance with the determined expression of the assembly parameter.
