3/ Effort and displacement management:
Description:
The force control includes a force sensor (accuracy of 2% of the nominal value), a displacement sensor (resolution of 0.1 mm), a FORCEMASTER process controller (1000 measurements per second), an OK / NOK indicator and a buzzer.
Operation:
It is necessary to configure the windows through which the curve made by a typical part must pass (displacement in x, force in y with 9 maximum passage windows)
As long as the realized curve passes through the defined windows, the press operates normally and a green light validates each cycle. If during the operation the curve does not pass through one of the predefined windows, the press emits an audible signal (buzzer) and it is possible to set a block for a pneumatic press. After isolating the wrong part, the operator must reset the system by pressing a push button and can then continue production.
