Schwer und Kopka GmbH - effiziente Prozess- und  Werkzeugüberwachung Ihrer Produktionsmaschinen

Production machines, in particular presses, are designed for certain maximum loads. If these limits are exceeded, there is a risk of overload damage to various machine components. In extreme cases, the machine can even be destroyed.

For overload protection, usually so-called strain sensors are mounted on the machine body, which register the elongation of the machine body under operation pressure. Reference sensors are used to calibrate the measuring chains in the machine to give force readings in true kilo Newtons (kN), Adjustable limits ensure that the machine and, of course, the built-in tools are protected against overload.

Overload protection is available in modern process monitoring systems as a supplement to the monitoring of the individual tool stages. The machine load and the set limit values are displayed on an easy-to-read graph. On request, any overloads that have occurred can be logged in the system.
