Precision monitoring
23 February 2015
Specialist in piezoelectric sensors and associated process monitoring systems, Kistler Instruments and Toolex, UK agent for Mäder presses, have joined forces to apply the latest process control technology to a range of German made hand presses, which brings a previously unattainable level of precision and repeatability to manual pressing operations.
The system uses the Kistler maXYmos monitoring and control concept, as used in Kistler’s high level NC Servo Press electromechanical systems, to provide "zero defect” production in high volume environments.
The application of maXYmos X-Y monitoring to hand press operations means that precision monitoring of the whole operation can now be applied economically to low volume manufacturing. In addition to in-process monitoring, the Kistler maXYmos system also allows data to be stored for future QA analysis.
