Simulation software StroCon PL

designoptimizationcalculation

The “Strothmann Controller Press Line”, or StroCon PL for short, is our software for calculating and optimising product-specific paths for Strothmann automation units used for press linking. When combined with the 3D simulation tool, it can generate transfer movements that can then be analysed for the absence of collisions between the transfer and press tools. The controller accounts for the performance and technical limits of the machines and supports the user in approaching the maximum feasible stroke rate. The parameters of the generated paths can be exported directly to the system. Moreover, supporting simulations can be generated even during the tool design process to determine where improvements are possible. •Optimised movement sequences to maximise output •Full offline programming to minimise try-out times •Accounting for technical machine limits •Direct export of calculated paths to the real system •Absence of collisions checked by 3D simulation tool •Simulation support in tool design process •Offline programming of transfer movements •Checking of drive limit values •Determination of maximum achievable stroke rate •Checking of ease of movement •Import of press curves •Setting of press phase offset •Interface to 3D simulation system •Interface to system
