5.
Set the counterbalance air pressure switch to the pressure recommended by the press
manufacturer, typically the pressure required for the smallest upper die you plan to use in
this press.
Installing Operator Station(s)
The Operator Station should be installed in a location from which the operator can
conveniently run the press. On most gap-frame (OBI or OBG) presses, this will be on the
front of the bolster. For straight-side presses, the Operator Station may be installed on the
press or on a pedestal.
The Operator Station should not be permanently mounted until you have calculated the
correct safety distance (see page 6-23) and performed the applicable checkout (see page 2-87)
tests. When you have finished wiring, you can place the Operator Station temporarily on the
floor or on a cart.
If you are not installing a light curtain, and if you are planning to use the Operator Station as a
two-hand safety device, the Operator Station must be mounted at the correct safety distance
from the nearest pinch point on the press. This distance must be calculated based on the
Stopping Time of your press. See page 6-21 for details. Mounting the Operator Station at the
correct safety distance prevents an operator from leaving the station and reaching the pinch
point before the press stops.
If you are installing a light curtain, the Operator Station must be placed outside the area
guarded by the light curtain. You do not need to calculate a specific safety distance for your
Operator Station since the light curtain now prevents access to the pinch point. You must not,
however, mount the Operator Station between the light curtain and the pinch point.
USING RAMPAC (SMARTPAC 1 OR 2) TO CONTROL COUNTERBALANCE PRESSURE
If you use RamPAC to control the counterbalance pressure, set the WPC 2000
counterbalance pressure switch to the pressure required to balance the empty ram.
NON-WINTRISS OPERATOR STATION MAY NOT MEET SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Ensure that the Operator Station is wired correctly.
• Ensure that on any non-Wintriss Operator Station the Run buttons are placed so that two hands
are required to push them at the same time and that buttons cannot be pushed simultaneously
with one hand or with one hand and one elbow.
• Ensure that on any non-Wintriss Operator Station the Run buttons have ring guards or other
means in place to prevent unintentional operation.
• Run all necessary tests to verify that each Operator Station is wired correctly and provides
proper anti-tie-down and anti-repeat protection. Test procedures are provided at the end of this
chapter (see page 2-87).
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
