5100-APC Press Control
Ultimate Press and Automation Control For Part Revolution Mechanical Power Presses
The 5100-APC Press and Automation Control can handle almost anything you can throw at it with an integrated modular design that is the most versatile and configurable in the industry. Its advanced electronics integrate custom 5100 press controls with optional 5100 series modules for die protection and process monitoring, programmable limit switches, tonnage and signature monitoring, automatic setup modules, and communication interfaces to control, sequence, monitor, and diagnose the entire press production system.
The 5100-APC 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.
Granular Control
Offers comprehensive control for clutch/brake and auxiliary press systems and a wide variety of automation and sequencing options.
Versatility
We can custom engineer the 5100-APC to accommodate presses with even the most complex auxiliary systems and comprehensive automation.
Scalability
Need to add more functionality? The 5100-APC can be easily configured to add additional modules to expand its capability to handle new press production system requirements that arise.
