MARIETTA, GA – 09/2010 - In response to the development and usage of various Industrial PLC protocols, Kistler has announced the release of a closed loop system for our servo press product line. The DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A Monitoring and Evaluation system is a revised version of the proven DMF-P A300 NCF with over 1,800 units in the field. The DMF-P A310 Universal provides the end user with one simple connection with commonly used Fieldbus interfaces such as Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, ProfiNet, CANopen and Profibus.

New Features

• Connects with the most common field bus interfaces

• Reduced number of cables required for operation (See Functioning Principle)

• Move press directly from the Evaluation Unit without functional PLC (Jog, step and automatic control) from the Control Menu

Bottom line
This new product allows for simplified installation/integration of Kistler Servo press systems in new or existing facilities regardless of the fieldbus interface used. No PC or additional hardware is required.

NCFH Type 2151B Unique Servo Press Technology

• Hollow shaft design – 2 compact sizes cover 1 kN to 60 kN force range - reduces design costs and spare inventory to end user

• Standard Features - 300 mm/s in 2 press sizes of 200 mm and 400 mm stroke

• Dual force range - allows for consolidation of separate assembly operations and assembly line flexibility - reduces design and system component costs

• Low Maintenance - hollow shaft design provides a rugged in-line force transfer and eliminates maintenance issues associated with transfer belts

• Cycle Time Improvements - All Kistler servo press modules use Absolute Encoders, allowing tooling to be offset (closer to work piece) and removes any need to fully retract to home position. Additional benefits - process evaluation during back stroke to offset or home position.
