5100-AMC Press Automation Control
Advanced Modular Automation Control For Part Revolution Mechanical Power Presses
The Link 5100-AMC Automation Control integrates with any existing press control. It uses the 806 Operator Terminal to integrate the 5100 modules for die protection and process monitoring, programmable limit switches, tonnage and signature monitoring, automatic setup, and provides multiple communication interfaces. Control, sequence, monitor, and diagnose automation used with press production systems.

The 5100-AMC Press Control Delivers:
Long-Term ROI
Rugged modular design and Link technical support make for a long product life and ability to add future system functions. Up to 1000 jobs can be stored to allow quick production system changeover. Monitoring and diagnostics protect press and dies, improve part quality, identify process problems, and reduce downtime.
Increased Productivity
This automation control works with your current press control to provide quick setup and coherent integrated monitoring, sequencing, and diagnostic functions to increase productivity and quality control in your stamping processes.
Stress-Free Operation
Easy to use touch-screen terminal with on-screen help displays all system information in English or Spanish and provides quick entry or recall of settings and selections for press and automation control functions.
Scalability
The 5100-AMC’s modular design using distributed processing allows additional modules to be easily added to ensure your press production system grows with your press production needs.
