3.15 Measuring and adjusting
The ForceMaster 9110 operates in two principal ways:
1) Measuring mode
2) Setup menu
The measuring mode is automatically active after switching on unless there is a MasterCard in the
card reader. In measuring mode, you can select different information windows by pressing the
operating knob.
The values set in the ForceMaster 9110 cannot be changed unless a MasterCard is inserted in
the device. You can only get to the settings menu if you have the appropriate authority by having
the MasterCard.
You get into measuring mode from the settings menu by pressing the operating knob when the
display is showing either "MENU start" or MENU". In that case, the ForceMaster 9110 changes
automatically into measuring mode after five seconds.
If measuring mode is left, and the MasterCard removed, the ForceMaster 9110 can no longer be
adjusted.
3.16 Force alarms
If auxiliary energy (compressed air or hydraulic power) are used for pressing, the ForceMaster
9110 can protect against excessive forces.
There are two force alarms for this purpose. Both force alarms set output 8, and have a reaction
time of about 1 millisecond. The occurrence of the alarm is indicated by an error message.
3.16.1 Force alarm 1
Force alarm 1 is effective from top dead centre of the press onwards until the ForceMaster 9110
detects the trigger. Once the trigger point has been reached, this alarm can no longer be
activated.
Force alarm 1 is therefore active when a part that is to be pressed is not positioned properly, as a
result of which the force shows spikes.
On a press using auxiliary energy, this alarm can be used to bring about an immediate halt or to
initiate a return stroke. This allows damage to the workpiece or the press to be prevented.
3.16.2 Force alarm 2
Force alarm 2 is always effective. It is useful if you want to protect your workpiece, tool or the
press itself.
On a press using auxiliary energy, this alarm can be used to bring about an immediate halt or to
initiate a return stroke. This allows damage to the workpiece, or the press to be prevented.
