The position encoder system records the current position of the die
system and transfers the value to the control system.
Data records may be saved in the item memory and recalled at any
time in the control system. Depending on the operation mode, the ac-
tual forming process is controlled via the buttons on the control panel
(4), the depth stop or the dual foot switch.
Crimping tool
The die system comprises basic dies, intermediate dies (depending
on the application) and crimping dies.
All basic dies are supported on slide plate. The crimping dies and the
intermediate dies, if any, are placed on the basic dies (1). The inter-
mediate dies are needed, if small workpieces are to be formed on a
large machine.
After the forming process, the basic dies are pressed apart by the
springs (2) when the tool opens. The bearing segments (3) on the
front guide the basic dies axially in the tool.
