Wintriss SmartPAC PRO - AutoSetPAC Tonnage Monitor

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”).
