occurred. Events such as tool changes are displayed with the date, time, and stroke count.
The Error Log is accessible from the Main Run Menu.
•
Set timing for sensor inputs (DiProPAC Only) . You can specify the portion of the
stroke during which you want installed sensors to monitor press operation. Up to 32
sensors can be programmed, allowing detection of malfunctions such as stock buckling,
misfeeds, die overload, and improper part ejection.
•
Set timing for cam channels (ProCamPAC Only). You can specify the crankshaft
angle at which to activate your feed pilot release, assembly operations, air cylinders,
transfer devices, lubricators, air blow-off, cut off, loader/unloader controls, and other
equipment that requires precise synchronization with the press. You can also assign a name
to each cam channel.
Sensors Available for DiProPAC
DiProPAC, the SmartPAC 2 die protection option, checks output from sensors monitoring the
die and sends a stop signal to the press when it detects a malfunction. Sensors can be mounted
on the press or die.
Any electromechanical sensor can be used with SmartPAC 2 as long as it can switch between
an open state (i.e., sensor circuit to SmartPAC 2 open) and a closed state (i.e., sensor circuit
closed to ground or “grounded”). All types of NPN electronic sensors (e.g., proximity,
photoelectric, and fiberoptic sensors) can be used as can simple contact sensors and probes. If
you have questions about whether a certain sensor will work with SmartPAC 2, contact
Wintriss Controls.
Wintriss makes or sells a wide range of sensors. Those that can be used with SmartPAC 2
with DiProPAC are shown below. Detailed application information is available. Many
sensors made by other manufacturers can also be used.
•
Miniature fiberoptic photoelectric sensors —Through-beam and reflective types are
available with adjustable sensitivity and the capability to detect objects as small as .0006 in.
(.015 mm). Require 12 to 24 Vdc power source.
•
Proximity sensors —Miniature electronic sensors that detect metal objects passing in front
of the sensor barrel. These sensors have no moving parts and are not affected by water or
oil. Require 12 to 24 Vdc power source.
•
Misfeed detectors —Designed to monitor non-working, spring-loaded pilot punch
position, stripper position, or other material location applications.
•
Short feed sensors —Used to ensure that material is contacted at the fully advanced
position.
•
Overload sensors —Used to prevent expensive die damage due to overload from slugging,
material thickness variations, broken tooling, etc.
•
Die overload sensors —Designed to detect minor changes in shut height.
•
Buckling sensor —Used to detect material buckle.
•
End of material sensor —Signals when material has run out.
•
Probes —Three types are available for diverse applications.
