Clutch/Brake Controls
Our OSHA/ANSI compliant WPC clutch/brake controls are simple to operate and feature dual microprocessors. The dual processor configuration provides diverse redundancy for optimal clutch/brake control and increased operator safety.
 
All timing adjustments are made from the control panel, eliminating the need for mechanical rotary limit switches. We also provide custom control panels to house your clutch/brake and motor controls.

WPC 2000 Clutch / Brake Control

WPC 2000

NEW! - Expand the functionality of the SmartPAC 2 / WPC 2000 integration with the Option 2 Expansion Module.

The WPC 2000 Clutch/Brake Control is an easy-to-use, dual microprocessor based system that controls a part revolution clutch mechanical power press. With its two independent microprocessor systems, the WPC 2000 provides diverse redundancy, the best technology in maintaining optimum clutch/ brake control and greater operator safety.

  • Interrupted stroke provision significantly improves pressroom productivity
  • Internal brake monitor checks press-stopping performance
  • Customized status codes installed by user Micro-inch capability improves set-up
  • Self-diagnostics identifies control problems
  • Can be integrated with SmartPAC® 1 or 2 for greater ease of use
  • Optional Shadow®-light curtain provides point-of-operation guarding
  • Optional Foot Switch, One-Hand Control, External Trip, Continuous-on-Demand and Bar Modes for maximum flexibility
  • Optional Auxiliary E-Stop Relay Outputs for stopping or preventing from starting up to three auxiliary devices like a feed or a transfer if any e-stop button is pressed, any light curtain is interrupted or any cross-checked input is open.

Option 2 Expansion Module for the WPC 2000/SmartPAC 2

Option 2

The Option 2 Expansion Module features 20 user-configurable inputs (in addition to the 7 already present in the WPC 2000) that can be used to monitor ancillary press functions.

  • 20 additional user-defined inputs
  • 4 additional pairs of user-defined cross-checked inputs
  • Hydraulic overload control
  • Flywheel brake control
  • Motor current readout (if equipped with an optional sensor)
  • Lube system control optional
  • Speed control optional

 

Honeywell Wintriss Custom Consoles and Panels

press brake controlsPRI also provides custom press-control consoles or panels built by Honeywell Wintriss. We begin by making an assessment of your pressroom space constraints & press control specifications.

We then determine the optimal solution to fully integrate your clutch / brake controls or motor control equipment into a comprehensive control panel.
