Introduction to control theory
Controlling the parameters of a production process is the fundamental prerequisite for guaranteeing maximum quality.
The control systems designed and proposed by Alfamatic measure the force/displacement values to monitor and manage the pressing parameters in the most diverse production environments.
The Instrument
The Press-Right is a measuring instrument that allows quality control on 100% of the production.
It continuously detects the position/force curve and verifies that it is contained within a suitably positioned continuous control band.
From a comparison between the measured values and pre-established parameters it is possible to accurately determine whether the characteristics of the piece performed comply with the standard.
It is interfaced to a position transducer and a force transducer.
Advanced Performance
The display of the curve in real time allows, in many cases, to instantly highlight an associated defect, a crucial and fundamental feature also for the usability of the instrument.
250 different jobs can be stored locally. Each job can contain up to eight different phases to be performed in sequence, and each phase can be repeated several times.
Automatic job selection is possible with automatic recognition of the equipment or with reading a barcode or data matrix.
Tool wear control, maintenance and batch size are possible thanks to a counter.
Relative positions
The machining parameters can be referred to the contact point of the tool with the piece regardless of the dimensional tolerances. With the use of a micrometric probe, this possibility is particularly useful for very high precision impression cycles.
