Overview
The AutoSetPAC is an optional module for the SmartPAC PRO, available as 2‑channel or 4‑channel units. It acts as a load or tonnage monitor that works seamlessly with the SmartPAC PRO—enabling dynamic, automated control over press operation
Features
- Provides advanced, yet easy-to-use monitoring.
- 2 or 4-input systems
- Calculates high, low and repeatability setpoints automatically, based on standalone actual load, not press capacity.
- Protect dies by detecting excessive stroke-to-stroke variation (repeatability) in tonnage.
- Protect press from reverse "snap through" load. If reverse load is too high, it can damage the press.
- Improve setups by providing tonnage information to eliminate errors in shut-height adjustments.
- Tonnage History tracks highest and average load.
- The AutoSetPAC's tonnage data can be logged by ShopFloorConnect machine monitoring software.
Benefits
Adding AutoSetPAC to your SmartPAC PRO offers several key advantages:
- Automated Safety: Press stops automatically when tonnage exceeds safe limits.
- Improved Quality Control: Reduces bad strokes, protects dies, and catches process anomalies immediately.
- Operational Efficiency: Eliminates manual setup, speeds job changes, and reduces downtime.
- Predictive Maintenance: Monitors tonnage trends to catch wear before failures.
- Press Optimization: Ensures appropriate press and die pairing for every job.
Key Features & Functionality
- Automatic Setpoint Generation
- Automatically calculates high tonnage limits based on actual measured load—not press capacity—eliminating manual setup and reducing errors.
- Repeatability & Overload Detection
- Repeatability monitoring: Detects stroke‑to‑stroke variations beyond user-defined tolerance and stops the press to prevent cumulative damage.
- Reverse (“snap‑through”) load display: Shows reverse loading conditions that may harm the press—often limited to 10% of forward capacity.
- Intuitive User Controls
- Settings include three simple adjustments: sample period, percent high tolerance, and percent repeatability tolerance.Wintriss+4Wintriss+4ManualsLib+4
- A front-panel switch lets you toggle between load modes (e.g., setpoint, repeatability) and view reverse load when needed.Wintriss+7www.slideshare.net+7Production Resources Inc.+7
- Visual Indicators and Fault Feedback
- Dual-channel LED displays show real-time load and setpoint values for each strain link.
- When faults occur—such as high load or repeatability breaches—the respective display flashes, and appropriate error messages appear (e.g., “HI” or “rEP”).
Overview
The AutoSet 1504+ is a high-performance, 4-channel press tonnage monitor from Wintriss’ AutoSet series. It offers advanced safeguards for stamping operations by automatically setting thresholds, detecting anomalies, and providing real-time feedback to prevent tooling and press damage.
Key Features & Functionality
- Automatic Setpoint Generation
- Automatically calculates high tonnage limits based on actual measured load—not press capacity—eliminating manual setup and reducing errors.
- Repeatability & Overload Detection
- Repeatability monitoring: Detects stroke‑to‑stroke variations beyond user-defined tolerance and stops the press to prevent cumulative damage.
- Reverse (“snap‑through”) load display: Shows reverse loading conditions that may harm the press—often limited to 10% of forward capacity.
- Intuitive User Controls
- Settings include three simple adjustments: sample period, percent high tolerance, and percent repeatability tolerance.
- A front-panel switch lets you toggle between load modes (e.g., setpoint, repeatability) and view reverse load when needed.
- Visual Indicators and Fault Feedback
- Dual-channel LED displays show real-time load and setpoint values for each strain link. When faults occur—such as high load or repeatability breaches—the respective display flashes, and appropriate error messages appear (e.g., “HI” or “rEP”).
Core Features & How It Works
- Four-Strain-Link Monitoring: Measures load at four distinct points on the press (commonly referred to as four "strain links"), giving a complete picture of loading conditions.
- Automatic Setpoint Calculation: Rather than relying on press ratings, the AutoSet 1504+ samples a defined number of strokes to determine the maximum load. It then sets high-load thresholds based on that sample plus a user-defined tolerance percentage.
- Built‑in Repeatability Monitoring: Recognizes stroke-to-stroke variations and stops the press if the variation exceeds the selected tolerance. This helps immediately flag tooling issues such as misfeeds or material inconsistencies.
- Reverse (“Snap‑Through”) Load Display: Presses can experience reverse loading when a punch breaks through the material. AutoSet 1504+ lets operators view reverse load values on-demand, labeled clearly “rEV,” helping prevent structural damage from snap-through.
Designed to deliver smooth, precise curves in constrained footprints
Overview
The C³ Compact Curve Conveyor (also styled “C3”) is Dorner’s innovative solution for guiding products smoothly through curves—without requiring long straight infeed or outfeed sections. Its patented side‑drive system and low‑profile frame enable tight routing in constrained layouts while maintaining consistent product positioning throughout the turn.
Built on Dorner’s signature low‑profile architecture, the C3 introduces a precision‑engineered drive system that supports delicate materials with minimal jostling.

Pascal’s Die-Lifter and Die-Roller systems are engineered to simplify the loading, unloading, and positioning of dies in press environments. Whether you’re handling very heavy dies or smaller/mid-sized tooling, these devices reduce physical strain, improve safety, and speed up changeover processes. No more struggling with manual lifting or relying exclusively on cranes for die movement.
Key Features & Benefits
Hydraulic Die-Lifter (DLF Series)
Heavy dies are lifted using powerful hydraulic cylinders. Once lifted, the die can be moved with minimal force across rollers. Ideal for large dies up to 80 mm width and very high loads.
Spring-Lifting Die Roller (DRA Series)
- For smaller to mid-sized dies, the spring-lifted rollers offer a simple, economical solution.
- No power source required—just fit into the existing T-slot, clamp die down, and the springs do the work.
Fits Standard Slots
- Narrow profiles designed to fit most existing T-slots.
- This makes retrofitting easier and reduces the need for major press modifications.
Various Widths & Load Capacities
- Multiple model sizes (e.g. DLF28, DLF50, DLF80) cover different widths, strokes, and maximum loads to match your die size, press bed configuration, and lift/transport requirements.
Durability & Low Maintenance
- Hydraulic lifter models handle high loads, shocks, and offer robust load capacities.
- Spring roller units have fewer moving parts, no hydraulics or external power, which keeps maintenance simpler and downtime lower.
Typical Technical Data (DLF Series Examples)
| | | |
| | | |
Lifting Stroke (hydraulic) | | | |
Max Load per 100 mm Length | | | higher depending on configuration |
| | same range, depending on number of rollers / cylinders | same range, depending on number of rollers / cylinders |
Applications & Use Cases
- High-volume stamping operations where fast, repeated die changeovers are needed.
- Heavy dies that are challenging to slide manually—hydraulic lifters make movement smoother and safer.
- Mid-sized tooling where adding heavy lifters isn’t cost-effective; spring-rollers offer a lighter, simpler solution.
- Retrofitting existing presses: since the rollers and lifters are designed to fit standard T-slots, many presses can be upgraded without major modifications.
Things to Consider When Choosing
- Die weight and size — to pick the right width, number of rollers, and whether hydraulic is required.
- Available slot dimensions — width, depth, and whether a U-cut or specific bolster features affect fit.
- Lifting stroke and required clearance under the die to engage rollers.
- Whether a power source (hydraulic) is acceptable or if a non-powered, simpler spring design is preferred.
- Operating environment: temperature, exposure to press coolant, chips/dust, etc., which may affect durability.
Why Choose Pascal’s Die Lifters & Rollers
- Proven engineering with a wide span of models to fit different die weights and press configurations.
- Solutions for both heavy-duty and economical needs.
- Lower risk of injury and damage by reducing manual lifting.
- Many years of field use under harsh conditions.
- Options that are relatively simple to install and maintain.

Overview
The Pascal Die Clamp line offers powerful, rugged clamping solutions built for demanding production environments. Designed to deliver high clamping force, long service life, and ease of use, these clamps are ideal for stamping, die-casting, and injection-molding operations that require fast, accurate, and safe die changes.
Key Features
- High Clamping Force & Rigidity
- Strong clamping action backed by robust frames; designed to withstand impact and heavy loads.
- Large Clamping Stroke
- Generous stroke lengths to accommodate varying die heights; helps with faster changeovers and better fit.
- Durability in Harsh Conditions
- Built to resist heat, vapor, splashes of release agents, and dust. Surface treatments, non-breathing cylinders, dust seals contribute to longevity.
- Safety & Automation Options
- Models are available with sensors for die detection, backward end detection, and automatic sliding (auto-slide) features to reduce manual work and increase safety.
- Wide Range of Models / Types
- Many series available including TXA, TXC (auto-slidable), TYA, TYC, Twist Clamp (TGC), Air-driven swing rod clamp (TNA), lever types, etc.
- Modular / Customizable
- Optional auto-sliders, special configurations to match T-slot and die shoe dimensions, and custom spec clamps are available.
Product Line / Models
Here are some of the main Pascal clamp types, with highlights for when they may be the right fit:
- TXA Series – Hydraulic cylinder type; rugged, good for general-purpose clamping.
- TXC – TXA plus auto slide; automates the sliding of the clamp for faster setup.
- TYA / TYC – Lever-type clamps; TYC includes auto-slidable options.
- TGC (New Twist Clamp) – Twisting action clamp for specialty applications.
- TNA – Air-driven swing rod clamp.
Applications & Benefits
- Slash die change time: Auto-slide and sensor options reduce manual work and enable faster, safer die swaps.
- Reduce risk of safety incidents: With sensors for detection and interlocks, die clamps prevent misplacement and ensure the clamps are correctly engaged before operating.
- Improve uptime & lifespan: Durable designs and materials mean less maintenance, fewer failures under tough conditions.
- Greater flexibility: Across different die shapes, sizes, and press types (T-slot, U-cut, etc.), Pascal offers models to match.
Technical Specifications (Examples)
Here are sample specs from a few Pascal clamp models. Use these to guide your selection; for exact match, specify your die dimensions (die shoe height, T-slot size, etc.).
| | | |
| e.g. 61.7 kN × 4 = 247 kN (for 3500 kN machine) | ~10-12 mm clamping stroke | Manual slide / auto slide, die detection sensor, backward end detection sensor |
| Varies; e.g. 9.8 kN up through 245 kN depending on model and piston/rod size. | Full stroke and safety stroke provided; specific to model. | Optional auto slide; designed to fit U-cuts in die shoes |
How to Choose the Right Pascal Clamp
- Determine the required clamping force — based on die size, material, press tonnage, safety margins.
- Measure your die shoe & T-slot dimensions — height, width, presence of U-cuts, etc.
- Consider stroke requirements — how much clamp travel you’ll need, safety stroke included.
- Specify safety / automation features — sensors, auto sliding, interlocks to reduce manual labor & risk.
- Check environmental conditions — heat, vapor, splash, dust; these may call for options like non-breathing cylinders, surface treatments, dust seals.
