How does an Offset Motor Mount work, and when is it useful?
The Offset Motor Mount positions the motor next to the powerhead, reducing the overall length and providing clearance for a rod and cylinder package, especially useful with thru-spindle pressure pads.
What is a Clutch Brake, and how does it enhance safety?
The Clutch Brake mounts in line with the motor, allowing start/stop control without shutting down the motor. It ensures operator safety by stopping the head in a radial position as needed.
Why would I need a Gear Reducer on my equipment?
A Gear Reducer establishes a slower motor RPM, making it ideal for roller forming or applications needing multi-point forming, where multiple contact points improve precision.
What is a Digital Stroke Position Indicator, and how does it improve setup control?
This indicator provides stroke position feedback to the PLC/HMI via ethernet, enhancing control over internal stop gear positioning and increasing setup precision.
How does LVDT Stroke Monitoring help with accuracy?
This internal sensor monitors stroke position with precision, verifying that the finished form height is correct, which is critical for quality control in forming applications.
What are the advantages of a Programmable Height Sensing Pressure Pad?
This pressure pad includes an LVDT package to provide z-axis positioning, helping achieve a specified finished form height and allowing verification of pre-form height in the assembly process.
How does an Anti-Rotate Device improve forming control?
The Anti-Rotate Device prevents the tooling head from rotating, ensuring the peen tool maintains position. It’s beneficial for multi-point heads or applications near part sidewalls.
What is Loadcell Force Monitoring, and why is it important?
This feature provides a force readout during forming, confirming the forming force meets parameters and verifying that each part meets quality standards.
How does Remote Stroke Adjust enhance accessibility?
Remote Stroke Adjust extends the stroke adjustment knob to an accessible location, helpful when the standard knob is difficult to reach.
What is the Servo Adjustable Hard Stop, and how does it improve cycle efficiency?
This servo-controlled mechanism adjusts the internal stop gear between cycles, allowing automated stroke adjustments for different parts or process changes.
