Prime Controls
Prime Controls double sheet detectors are trusted by the top automakers from around the world.
Backed by 25+ years of experience, Prime Controls’ extensive line of world-class double sheet detection solutions improve your bottom line, boost product quality, and ramp up your manufacturing efficiency.
When double sheets of metal are unintentionally fed into a machine, the additional thickness can cause significant damage to tools and dies or create a double stamped defective product.
This damage can shut your production line down while repairs are underway, leaving you with lost profits and unplanned expenses, or even worse—a refused shipment due to defective double stamped products, assuming the defective product somehow made it out of your plant.
Prime Controls can help you avoid this challenge.
Prime Controls innovative double sheet detection product line is setting a higher standard for quality, reliability, and accuracy for manufacturers.

Wintriss
Proper implementation of die protection will prevent die crashes, allowing you to use your resources on business expansion instead of wasting them on avoidable repairs.
The use of die protection and press automation equipment will:
- prevent die crashes
- reduce downtime
- reduce scrap
- improve part quality
- shorten setup time
- allow better labor utilization
- potentially allow increase of press speeds
Our Wintriss die protection equipment and press automation controllers seamlessly integrate into your existing metal stamping operation. Wintriss DiPro 1500 and SmartPAC PRO use the latest in die protection technology compatible with a wide variety of sensors.
Die protection and press automation have come a long way in recent years. Wintriss has led in press automation innovation with their product line of die protection, interface and connection hardware, and photoelectric and proximity sensor equipment. The Wintriss SmartPAC2, a fully integrated press automation control capable of monitoring 8, 16, 32, or 64 die protection sensors. It can also be configured to monitor tonnage, provide programmable limit switch outputs, control shut height, provide powerful counting capability, monitor press starting and stopping time, report pressroom production reports, and monitor analog sensors for die quality control.
Wintriss DiPro 1500
New communication features allow users to view press performance on a web page and allow sending maintenance-related text messages directly to your cell phone.
The Wintriss DSI 2 Sensor interface & connection hardware eliminates the need for long coiled sensor cables, removing another potential avenue of press failure.
PRI offers all types of die protection sensors and interconnection devices. Wintriss photoelectric and inductive proximity sensors can be used to monitor short/long feed, part ejection, slugging and slug pulling, transfer, cylinder position, stock buckling, material run out, and any other static or cyclic die event. We distribute diffuse reflective, retro reflective, through-beam photo-sensors, and photoelectric fork sensors as well as a wide variety of inductive proximity sensors. We also offer flat pack self-contained proximity sensors, precise enough to detect stripper position to within 0.001 in.
