PROGRAMMING AND DATA ENTRY
The press is a highly versatile tool due to the built in programmability. Four data bases (accessed through
“editors”) are used to guide the press through specific sequences of
operations. The variables stored include
pressing tool information, pressing profile information, connector information, and PCB information. Once the
information has been stored, it is available for use by current and future operations.
Access to the edi
tors is normally restricted to levels higher than “operator”.
5.1.
The Tool Data Base Editor
Purpose
The tool data base editor is used to view and modify the tool data base, which is an Access Data Base
file. The tool data base contains all the necessary information about the mechanical pressing tools (top
tools), which are used during the pressing process. See Figure 12.
