OmniLink 5000 Press and Automation Controller

The OmniLink 5000 Press and Automation Control brings a new dimension to mechanical power press  production systems - the dimension of affordable total integrated process control through intelligent, microprocessor based technology designed to increase productivity, safety, parts quality, production information, and machine and tooling uptime.  The OmniLink 5000 construction is modular, allowing optional hardware for various instrumentation and control functions to be inserted in the controller rack.  It is designed to be mounted in the same enclosure that houses motor controls and other electrical controls.  The OmniLink 5000 controller can provide the needed flexibility to gain stamping  process advantages for manually fed pressews, automaically fed press systems, and presses integrated into production cells. 

System 1100 Tonnage Monitor The System 1100 is a microprocessor-based monitor that can determine, display and compare developed forces with preset limits for machines that use large forces in the production process. Utilizing strain gage transducers located on appropriate load bearing machine components, the System 1100 is able to measure and display both total load and load distribution.  The measured forces are compared with adjustable high, low, and reverse setpoint limits for each strain gage transducer channel.  An out-of-limit stroke will trip an alarm circuit that sends a stop signal to the machine control.
