SmartPAC 2 - ProPAC In-Die Measurement and Process Monitor

With ProPAC you can:

• Monitor dimensions of parts in the die
• Divert "bad" parts to scrap
• Measure parts at one station and divert them at another
• Stop the press or set off an alarm if too many "bad" parts are produced
• Measure up to 16 parameters, including form angle and height, draw depth, material thickness, feed length, temperature, pressure, electric current, and others
• Perform die protection functions
• Monitor process conditions, including nitrogen and lube pressure, bearing temperature, and main motor current

ProPAC's operator-friendly interface:

• Walks you through setup step-by-step
• Explains important programming details in help screens
• Names each sensor input by function
• Displays measurements and control limits in true units
• Lets you set manual or automatic parameter limits:
  • Manual limits: for in-die dimension measurements
  • Automatic limits: for detecting changes in process parameters during a run
• "Shift Registers" to track parts as they pass through a transfer or progressive die

While the press is running, ProPAC:

• Displays the waveform of any sensor's output
• Allows you to "zoom in" for a close-up view of any waveform
• Enables you to adjust timing and control limits graphically on the waveform display

Proportional Output Sensors for ProPAC include:

• LVDT Gage Head
• Analog Prox
• Pneumatic LVDT
• Current Sensor
• Pressure Sensor
• Temperature Sensor
