It offers 100% process verification,-complete force and distance monitoring,and SPC. The rack-andpinion press features electronicstroke control. Preset criteria such as stroke limits or press force must be met before the press ram returns to home position. If sensors detect a problem, an electromechanical brake automatically locks the ram.
The system can also use external sensors to verify part position before initiating a press cycle (Poke-Yoke). The 307/3000 also compensates for different press operators and how they physically move the press handle. The unit features a touchscreen display and menu-driven software. Press forces range from 25 to 900 lb with a stroke from 0 to 1.9685 in., adjustable in 0.0004-in. increments. Working height adjusts from 3.543 to 10.236 in. For tall parts or horizontal pressing, the head and control can be ordered alone.
