The Ultimate
The most feature intensive air clutch punch press control available. The control conforms to all current OSHA and ANSI standards for control reliability and component monitoring. System incorporates the PressCam 8 for complete punch press synchronization and flexibility for all peripheral punch press signaling needs such as feeds, die protection, lubrication, blow-offs, etc. All of the electrical timing adjustments for the complete press operation are done at the floor level by the operator. The PressCam 8 system also has a large job memory of 100. This gives the control the ability to remember 100 complete different jobs or die set-ups at the press. The memory concept at the press is an excellent feature due to the tremendous time saved during set-ups of various operations. Additional time is saved by being able to adjust or “fine tune” the stamping process while the press is running, which is an aid in maximizing press utilization.

BM-1600
The BM-1600 is a time-based brake monitor that utilizes a high resolution rotary encoder and controller to measure the brake stopping time in milliseconds and also the RPM of the press. The rotary encoder is attached to the subject machine and is driven on a 1:1 ratio by the power press crankshaft. The brake stopping time of the machine will be displayed on every stop and can be easily read on the bright red light emitting diode (LED) display on the front panel of the unit. The RPM/ of the machine will be displayed during the machine cycle.

LT-1900
The LT-1900 is a time-based stopping performance monitor that utilizes a high resolution linear transducer and controller to measure the machine stopping time in milliseconds and also the SPM of the press. The linear transducer is attached to the subject machine and is driven on a 1:1 linear ratio by the machine. The machine stopping time of the machine will be displayed on every stop and can be easily read on the bright red light emitting diode (LED) display on the front panel of the unit. The SPM of the machine will be displayed during the machine cycle.

PressCam 8
PressCam 8 is a “control reliable” resolver based programmable cam switch (PLS), time-based brake monitor, die protection system, multiple counters, and much more in one package. The system contains two 16-bit computers that are configured to cross check each other and the resolver. The dual computers are interfaced with a full view 8” (203mm) diagonal LCD computer screen for viewing and programming ease. This large operator screen supplies operators and front line supervisors production data without the need of cumbersome menu and program access codes. 100 job memory. 

PressCam 8 Junior
The PressCam 8 Junior is a resolver-based press automation controller that incorporates a programmable cam limit switch (PLS), timed-based brake monitor, servo feed control, four counters, and a die protection system The PressCam 8 Junior is controlled by a 16-bit computer that constantly checks the resolver for accuracy. 100 job memory. 

Remote Die Box
The six (6) channel remote die box allows you to quickly change out the die sensors by using either plug connectors or Banana jacks. Provides +24VDC power to active sensors and monitors the status (PNP or NPN). Part number 53-450 six (6) channel Remote Die Box includes individual channel indicators, 45’ quick disconnect cable (12 conductor) minimizes wiring installation time and power supply included to power sensors – 24VDC at 2.5 AMP.
