Abstract
A control system for controlling operating steps of a press and/or transfer mechanism therefor in dependence upon the position of a drive shaft of a drive mechanism of the press. The system includes a coded pulse generator supplying coded pulses indicative of the position of the drive shaft to a decoder from which decoded pulses are supplied to a control pulse distributor to an amplifying unit and appropriate regulating member for regulation of the operating step. A monitoring unit is also provided for monitoring the operation of the control system.
Claims19
A control system for controlling operating steps of at least one of a press means and a transfer means therefor comprising coded pulse generating means for providing a coded pulse output in dependence upon the position of a drive shaft of a press drive means, decoding means for decoding the coded pulse output, of the pulse generating means for supplying a decoded pulse output, pulse distributor means for providing an output on at least one of a plurality of output paths in accordance with the decoded output of the decoder means, and at least one regulating means for controlling an operating step being coupled to pulse distributor means for receiving an output therefrom in accordance with the position of the drive shaft of the press means.
A control system for controlling operating steps of at least one of a press means and a transfer means therefor comprising coded pulse generating means for providing a coded pulse output in dependence upon the position of a drive shaft of a press drive means, the coded pulse generating means providing coded pulse outputs indicative of the rotational position of the drive shaft irrespective of the stroke rate of the press means, decoding means for decoding the coded pulse outputs of the pulse generating means for supplying decoded pulse outputs, pulse distributor means for providing an output on at least one of a plurality of output paths in accordance with the decoded outputs of the decoder means, and at least one regulating means for controlling the initiation and termination of an operating step being coupled to the pulse distributor means for receiving an output therefrom in accordance with the position of the drive shaft of the press means so as to control the initiation and termination of the operating step in accordance therewith.
