Pressroom Electronics reckons it has developed the ultimate clutch/brake OSHA control with complete press automation built-in.
Pressroom Electronics reckons it has developed the ultimate clutch/brake OSHA control with complete press automation built-in.
The user friendly PressCommander is available in any control panel layout or retrofits easily into an existing control panel.
PressCommander's control reliable design with triple CPU redundancy exceeds OSHA 1910.217 and ANSI B11.1-2001.
The control installs quickly and easily and incorporates dual logic power supplies.
A heavy-duty resolver with self-checking input on every press cycle is included with 9m of resolver cabling supplied standard.
PressCommander provides complete system diagnostics and programming in plain English/Spanish on a 4 x 20 character vacuum fluorescent display.
It can control up to four sets of operator stations, operates at 24V DC, 110V AC or 240/440V AC.
Major faults such as e-stop, motion, brake monitor, and sensor faults are handled by two force-guided relays (Form B safety relays).
Modes of operation include: off, inch, single and continuous.
The unit has a password and supervisory controlled keyed selector switch for security of data entry.
The last three limit switch outputs can be set for timed, non-timed, delay, hold, or cycle two times per crank revolution.
Other features include: interrupted stroke provision with indicator, inch mode monitoring, crank angle and speed readout (SPM), time-based brake monitor, built-in motion detector and drift fault, 90 and 270-degree stop time tester/meter built in, built in variable speed compensation, servo-feed interface built-in, six optically isolated die protection inputs that can be either AC or DC (sourcing or sinking), six limit switch outputs can be set to cycle (non-timed) two times per crank rotation by setting an open/close crank angle.
Six PLS (programmable limit switch) output relays are small, high speed, and high capacity, 50 job memory (removable), stroke, batch, quality, and part counters, Batch counter output relay, die protection output relay (opens when there is a fault), speed output relay (opens when press speed falls out of the max/min parameters), auxiliary output relay (customer assigned usage), optional tonnage monitoring, PC Link to allow offline job creation and storage, and a two-year warranty.
