The 1200 Tonnage Monitor
Consistent Setups and Press Protection
The System 1200 measures and displays the forces being applied to the frame of a press during the working portion of the stroke. These forces are compared with allowable limits based on the capacity of the machine and correct operation of the die and material being used.
The 5100-AMC Press Control Delivers:
Long-Term ROI
Extend the life of your press, reduce downtime, and improve part quality by running your press within capacity.
Consistency
Ensure correct press shut-height adjustment during job setup.
Ease of Use
Provides easy and precise job setup with touch-screen interface, flexible bypass modes, and auto setup.
Process Visibility
Allows easy diagnosis of tool wear and die problems with signature display and reference graph overlay.
Features
-
Two or four channels for use on a variety of press frames
-
Displays forward and reverse tonnage for each channel, plus the total
-
Enables user to enter total capacity derating curve for distance off bottom
-
Provides high, low, and reverse peak limits to be set for each channel
-
Each channel can employ up to four additional “data window” limits for monitoring complex tonnage waveforms
-
Reference graph can be stored with each job for easy comparison (with optional encoder for mechanical presses)
-
Tonnage signature captured and displayed in real-time
-
Signature view allows zoom, pan, and readout of angle and tonnage
-
Low limits can be automatically bypassed when in setup mode
-
Can be used on hydraulic and mechanical presses
-
Part, batch, and quality counters can be driven by stroke or by sensors for increased accuracy
-
Optional communications board with serial and ethernet interfaces for LinkNet 3, Modbus, and other functions
-
Access control to prevent unauthorized changes
