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
