Wintriss WPC 2000 – Clutch/Brake Control System

The WPC 2000 by Wintriss is a robust, dual‑microprocessor clutch/brake control system engineered specifically for part‑revolution mechanical power presses. It ensures both safety and productivity while offering seamless integration with automation systems

Key Features

Redundant Dual Microprocessors

Two independent microprocessors provide redundancy, enhancing safety and reliability in clutch/brake control.

Resolver-Based Timing

Eliminates the need for mechanical limit switches by using a resolver to precisely monitor crankshaft angle and timing from the operator panel

Operator-Friendly Readouts

Features a digital display that shows press speed, stopping time, diagnostic error codes, and a dynamic crank‑angle clock—valuable for safety checks and accurate setup.

Regulatory Compliance

Meets or exceeds ANSI B11.1‑2009 and OSHA 1910.217 standards, including Control Reliability requirements.

Productivity & Safety Enhancements

• Interrupted Stroke Function
  • Improves productivity by allowing safe interruption between strokes without a full press stop.
• Internal Brake Monitoring & Safety Distance Testing
  • Built-in brake monitor test and 90° stop-time testing ensure calculated safety distances and safe system responses.
• Micro-Inch Control
  • Allows for fine control during setup by precisely adjusting clutch/brake timing in micro-increment steps.
• Self-Diagnostics & Status Codes
  • Identifies control faults and supports up to nine user-configurable status codes—including cross-checked safety inputs—for faster troubleshooting

Flexibility & Expandability

• Multiple Operator Modes: Supports two-hand control, one-hand control, foot switch, bar modes, and external trip modes to suit various safety and operator workflows.
• Shadow® Light Curtain Integration: Optional for point-of-operation guarding, enabling safe single-stroke or continuous operation when used properly.
• Programmable and Auxiliary Outputs: Offers optional 4-channel programmable limit/cam switches for controlling external automation, plus auxiliary E-stop relay outputs to halt connected devices in emergencies.
• Advanced Automation via Option 2 Expansion

Further enhancements include:

• Press speed control
• Lube-system monitoring
• Hydraulic overload control
• Flywheel brake monitoring
• Motor current readouts
• Top-stop relay functions
