Now
that burster’s “little” press-fit controller DIGIFORCE® model
9310 is definitely well established in the low budget field of gapless force
displacement control, it comes out with a new and very important feature in the
field of riveting and clinching control. For the evaluation of GOOD or BAD parts
DIGIFORCE® now ideally uses the so-called envelope curve technique.
This
procedure is especially appreciated in the range of riveting and clinching
control, where high precision is not necessarily required but instead and all
the more a fast and uncomplicated reaction to suddenly changing boundary
conditions like i.e. modified charges, different plate temperatures and so on is
needful. In a rapidly accessible and easily performed teach-in routine new
samples are read-in for the calculation of the new envelope curve bandwidth out
of the acquired average values. Ready – steady – go! Then the worker
switches over his control to MEASUREMENT PROCESS and everything is alright for
the next 10,000 parts.
Additionally
a trend tracking function can be activated. In correlation to a measurement
curve that is steadily drifting away the envelope curve bandwidth is tracked
until a predefinable trend limit. This can prove to be useful for example when
the slowly occurring wearout of a clinching or riveting tool is leading to a
shifting of the force displacement curve but in fact does not effect the quality
of the junction significantly. But when the predefined trend limit is reached,
the control initiates a STOP.
Further
it is interesting that DIGIFORCE®
model 9310 is now supporting also piezo-electric load cells. The corresponding
charge booster is optionally integrated. This new function enables the optimal
solution of applications like they are found in the domain of clinching or punch
riveting.
