Stamping tools are often already equipped with different sensors to secure the process. For example, proximity sensors based on eddy current measurement detect whether the upper and lower parts of the tool are moving evenly. For improved detection, the tools are additionally equipped with piezo sensors, which are responsible for the reliable detection of stamping errors or punch breakage. Over time, the different tools show a colorful mixture of sensors. With the ASS technology (Automatic Sensor Selection), the monitoring device independently recognizes which sensor has been connected to which channel, while at the same time adjusting the appropriate monitoring parameters. Errors caused by incorrectly inserted or assigned sensors are thus permanently prevented.

Benefits:

• fast changeover when changing tools
• automatic identification of the connected sensor type
• automatic setting of the correct parameters
• no complicated reprogramming for sensor or tool changes
• existing sensors can continue to be used
