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

Machines for the forming technology must be able to provide the high forces required for the production of the formed parts. All machines, especially presses, are designed for a certain maximum load, which should not be exceeded in practice, as otherwise permanent damage could occur. Therefore, most presses are equipped with a press force monitoring system that measures the current forming forces and monitors them with limit values while the system is running.

The forces are usually measured by means of so-called strain gauges, which are attached to the frame or the machine body. They detect how the machine body stretches or elongates under the pressing load. In a calibration process, the elongation of the machines is converted into the actual pressing force in kilo Newtons (kN).

Specified limits ensure that the maximum loads for the respective machines are not exceeded.
