Wintriss AutoSet 1500+ "Standalone" Tonnage Monitor

Overview

The AutoSet 1500+ is a two‑channel load (tonnage) monitor designed for press safety and operational efficiency.  It builds on the standard AutoSet 1500 by introducing advanced monitoring capabilities for more precise and protective press control.

• 2-input tonnage monitoring
• Calculates set-points automatically, based on actual load, not press capacity
• AutoSet "Plus" models protect dies by detecting excessive stroke-to-stroke variation in tonnage
• The "Plus" models also enable you to view reverse "snap-through" load. If reverse load is too high, it can damage the press.
• Improves setups by providing tonnage information to eliminate errors in shut-height adjustments
• Displays actual tonnages and setpoints for all four corners (both sides for 1500) of the press via large digital indicators
• Provide output for your chart recorder to monitor tool wear and press conditions with load signature

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.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”).
