Pneumatic Toggle Presses Provide Real-Time Force Monitoring
A new series of process monitoring controls for their line of Toggle- Aire® presses that can validate their proper operation and provide interrupts, alarms and the documentation required for ISO compliance has been introduced by AIM Joraco of Smithfield, Rhode Island.
Toggle- Aire® presses combine the mechanical advantages of levers and toggles to produce a ram force that builds as it reaches the bottom of its stroke - to offer a controlled gentle squeeze action rather than impact force. Featuring new process controls that provide force monitoring for quality control, they can display ram force to ±0.05% FS, and link to a PC for real- time plotting and graphing. Programmable for MIN/MAX thresholds and peak force hold, while providing easy to read display messages for operator feedback and direction.
Allowing users to record all Toggle- Aire® Pneumatic Toggle Press operations, these process controls assure manufacturing consistency from lot-to-lot and can incorporate a wide range of display and signal conditioning devices to meet specific customer requirements. Presses from ½ to 16 tons are available for a wide variety of punching, fastening, and assembly operations. These presses can be configured for clean room applications.
Toggle- Aire® Pneumatic Toggle Presses with process monitoring controls sell from $7, 995.00. Literature and quotations are available upon request. Representative inquiries are invited.
