AutoSetPAC Benefits
AutoSetPAC provides the following benefits:
•
Identifies machine overloading, enabling you to prevent unnecessary wear on load-bearing
components
• Provides repeatability, or stroke-to-stroke, tonnage monitoring. Repeatability setpoints allow you
to monitor your stamping process more precisely, enabling you to detect punch breakage, quality
problems, and loss of tonnage due to end of stock. Repeatability setpoints also allow you to relax
the high and low setpoint tolerances, thus avoiding nuisance stops due to acceptable variance in
material thickness and hardness.
• Displays and monitors reverse tonnage, which helps you to avoid excessive “snap through”
overloads. Press manufacturers typically recommend that reverse loads not exceed 15% to 25% of
total press capacity.
• Stops the press after a bad stroke, preventing successive bad hits and, possibly, catastrophic
damage to the die.
•
Allows more accurate tool setups by providing actual tonnage information. Information can be
stamped on the die shoe per OSHA regulation 1910.217 (d) (6) (i).
•
Monitoring of tonnage variations allows you to detect misfeeds, slug stacking, misuse of stop
blocks, changes in material thickness and hardness, broken stripper springs, and broken punches
in the die. One operator can monitor several presses at a time because AutoSetPAC stops the
press when these and other malfunctions are detected.
•
Diagnoses tool wear by monitoring tonnage increases as a die is re-used. This enables you to
schedule repairs to dies and punches, resulting in more efficient use of the press, faster parts
production, and higher quality parts. In addition, SmartPAC keeps track of the number of hits on
the tool being run, helping you determine when the die requires maintenance.
•
Enables better matching of dies to press capacity. Since AutoSetPAC displays the exact tonnage
produced by each die, you can avoid using large-capacity presses for smaller jobs or overloading
a small-capacity press with too large a job.
SmartPAC PRO, SmartPAC 2, and Original SmartPAC
Your AutoSetPAC can be used with the SmartPAC PRO, SmartPAC 2, and original SmartPAC.
To install AutoSetPAC on a SmartPAC, follow the instructions in Chapter 2 and refer to the
appropriate wiring diagrams at the end of the manual. (Wiring diagrams show connections for
original SmartPAC, SmartPAC 2, and SmartPAC PRO.)
AutoSetPAC menu organization in SmartPAC 2 and SmartPAC PRO is similar to that in original
SmartPAC, and the AutoSetPAC screens are similar in all SmartPACs. As a result, you can refer to
the screens and follow the steps provided in chapters 3-6 of this manual to initialize, program, run,
and troubleshoot AutoSetPAC in original SmartPAC, SmartPAC 2, and SmartPAC PRO. The main
differences among the three SmartPACs are in their panel displays, as shown in Figure 1-1 and
Figure 1-2.
SmartPAC 2 and SmartPAC PRO operate much like the original SmartPAC, which you may already
have in your plant.
