9306, X-Y Process Controller

DIGIFORCE® controls processes in which precisely defined functional relationships between two measurement variables
must be demonstrated. For example such relationships exist between force and displacement during pressing, and between torque and angle of rotation during bolting.

DIGIFORCE® is used widely in the monitoring of fastening, riveting, and caulking operations, as well as in torque control in production of hinges, seat back adjustment mechanisms, rotary switches, etc. DIGIFORCE® is universally applicable.

It is used first of all in the design and development phase for determining the set point characteristics of yet undetermined curves. DIGIFORCE® computes and displays these curves graphically. Such a curve can be stored at any time and be re-used as a reference curve.

In a later phase, DIGIFORCE® is integrated in the production environment and fulfills its primary monitoring function in full synchronization with the production system. In addition to being used in fully automated production lines, DIGIFORCE® can also be found assisting many manual tasks such as acceptance sampling in shipping and receiving.
Quick work piece changes are no problem for DIGIFORCE®.

Up to 32 work piece-specific parameter sets are available, which can either be controlled by PLC or by menu. The highly comprehensive diagnostics screens provide the user with constant data on the production process. Trend curves allow the user to tell when and how a process is running awry
