MP85A Process Controller: Full Evaluation of Press and Joining Processes with Immediate OK/not-OK Results

The MP85A FASTpress monitoring system acquires the signals of press and joining processes such as riveting, punching or press-fitting at up to 300 cycles per minute, and has a very high speed and 24 bit resolution. This industrial signal conditioner is ideal for production monitoring and end-of-line testing.

The MP85A FASTpress identifies problems in real time and allows for tool wear detection during operation due to its evaluation method which uses a tolerance band or up to nine tolerance windows that can be configured as required.

The 3-level FASTpress Suite Software, which includes PME Assistant, visualization and programming tools, is ideal for every application. MP85A FASTpress is also available as a switch version for haptic testing of switching elements.

• HBM accuracy class: 0.1
• Fitting cycles: up to 300 per minute
• Device interfaces: digital I/Os and fieldbus

Seamless Evaluation

• Acquisition of two measured quantities in parallel using 2-channel evaluation (y/x, y/t)
• Individually adjustable evaluation methods
• Comprehensive control due to tolerance band, envelope curve, 9 tolerance windows, and limit value monitoring
• Intelligent real-time data reduction
• Up to 1,000 parameter sets that can be saved

Direct real-time evaluation for preventive maintenance with error evaluation.

Precise and Robust

• High, 24-bit resolution for extreme precision in small partial load ranges
• Good EMC for harsh conditions
• Fast integration with TEDS modules
• Two universal inputs for half and full bridge strain gauges, counters and SSI rotary encoders; configurable by software
