   Products            Process Monitoring Systems for Stamping Machines



Stamping, forming, drawing, bending, pressing, embossing, flanging, piercing, .....
- stamping dies in recent years have become more and more elaborate as the demand for
ever more complex products increased. Modern progressive dies operate in multiple stations
and are combining more and more of the above operations to produce a finished part requiring
no other work steps. Unfortunately, the rising complexity not only made the dies more expensive,
but also more prone to process errors. Faulty stampings as caused by punch breakage, cracked
dies, feeding errors,  rising slugs, or even double strip not only threaten process and product quality but often lead to the feared serious die damage.

The modular design of our process monitoring systems in respect to the types of  sensors that
can be connected as well as the number of input channels make our monitors the first choice for
a wide scope of stamping applications such as:

  • tonnage monitor
  • overload monitor
  • press load monitor
  • in-die tool protection
  • punch breakage detection
  • cracked die detection
  • tool protection with auto-learn technology (strip feed, part ejection, transfer controls, etc.)
  • programmable limit switch (PLS)
  • force and acoustic emission sensing to detect rising slugs and scrap build-up
  • ram acceleration monitoring to protect machine and tools from excessive g-forces
  • and much more

Please read more on these issues by reviewing our Press Clips where some clients report
about the benefits gained by installing our process monitors to their stamping machines.
