Application

DIGIFORCEŽ controls processes in which precisely defined functional relationships between two measurement variables must be demonstrated. For example such relationships exist between force and displacement during pressing, and between torque and angle of rotation during bolting. DIGIFORCEŽ is used widely in the monitoring of fastening riveting and caulking operations, as well as in torque control in production of hinges, seatback adjustment mechanism, rotary switches, etc. DIGIFORCEŽ is universally applicable. It is used first of all in the design and development phase for determining the setpoint characteristics of yet undetermined curves. DIGIFORCEŽ computes and displays these curves graphically. Such a curve can be stored at any time and be re-used as a reference curve.

In a later phase, DIGIFORCEŽ is integrated in the production environment and fulfills its primary monitoring function in full synchronization with the production system. In addition to being used in fully automated production lines, DIGIFORCEŽ can also be found assisting many manual tasks such as acceptance sampling in shipping and receiving.

Quick workpiece changes are no problem for DIGIFORCEŽ. Up to 8 "part specific" parameters sets are available, which can either be controlled by PLC or by menu. The highly comprehensive diagnostics screens provide the user with constant data on the production process. Trend curves allow the user to tell when and how a process is running awry. Basic help menus are available to assist in problem solving.
