HMI touch screen control
Digital control of air pressure
– to maintain a
consistent tightening force
Digital control of clamping time
– to maintain a
consistent tightening time
Dry cycle detection (tool option)
– Detects tool use
without a clip being in place
In process advisory information screens
Batch and unit count control
Supervisory control
Adjustable orientation of the HMI screen
External Signal Output
A 24v output signal can be supplied to the production
line once the prescribed number of clamps has been
tightened.
Low Maintenance
The Control Unit has no specific maintenance
schedule and HCL Fasteners provide full backup and
servicing support.
1 or 2-Preset Program Options
The Control Unit program allows the user to save the
