SCM Autograph Series
Process Control Monitor With Touch Screen Display

Applications for SCM Autograph Include:

Flexible Tonnage Monitoring

2 channel

4 channel

8 channel

The SCM Autograph is an extremely versatile controller that combines Helm force monitoring circuitry and the latest in embedded PC technology. Powered by our new SCM signal conditioning module, this advanced process control system features real time signature analysis, unlimited job recipe storage and complete load monitoring functionality.

Tonnage Monitoring Signature Analysis Plant-wide Networking

With built-in provisions for housing two to eight channels of monitoring, the system is easily configured to fit your specific application. All operator adjustments including machine capacity limits, tooling protection alarms, parts counters and job download are made thru the rugged, full color touch screen display.

When interfaced with the HR-1101 resolver, the SCM Autograph integrates force with crank angle for detailed thru-the-stroke monitoring. Upper and lower control limits are set around the entire or pre-selected areas of the forming signature for verifying the quality of each part produced. In addition to the upper and lower control limits, the press curve as established by the machine builder is digitized to become an alarm set-point. Machine shutdown is initiated if the tonnage exceeds these limits at any time during the machine cycle. The SCM Autograph also features our unique DELTA-TRACK sampling technique that automatically ignores the variations in force caused by normal process changes. This allows the system to be sensitive enough to detect the subtle variations in tonnage due to changes in material thickness or hardness, inconsistent die lube, worn tooling, slugs, splits and wrinkles.

 

With the touch of a finger, you get a detailed picture of each forming signature. Up to 200 signatures can be stored in the wave history file.	Signatures captured during the production run will indicate tool wear as part of your Predictive Maintenance program. Use the overlay function to compare current signatures with stored masters.
The zoom feature provides a close-up view of the signature for comparing tonnage with crank angle position.

Plant-wide Manufacturing Software

Helm Firstmate 2000 production reporting software provides two way interface between the SCM Autograph on the shop floor and remote PC's via dedicated or Ethernet communication. This user friendly software generates the high speed statistical data acquisition and real time graphical waveforms required for providing measured feedback on a specific production run. Comprehensive database integration variables including x bar analysis charts, histograms and downtime event reporting are standard features or Firstmate.
