Quality assurance requirements for press-fit and joining processes often demand unbroken quality demonstration records. Likewise it is a major issue – especially during the starting period of machines – to get an outline of the development of the entire process, so that at worst case precise countermeasures can be applied. Already the visual impression of a set of curves generated by the singular curves of many parts allows a lot of conclusions.

Users of the force-displacement controller DIGIFORCE® 9310 – the little sprout of burster’s successful DIGIFORCE® family – have now access to such a tool. DigiControl 9310 represents a windows software, that besides the already known functions “backup” and “setup” now also supports the automatic recording of measurement results, and this without any problems for up to a dozen measurement devices in one production line.

The user can choose amongst various formats of measurement data editing. For statistical observation significant values such as curve entry and exit values of the evaluation windows can be stored in an excel file, where all DIGIFORCE®-acquired values of one press-fit process respectively of one part are shown in one line. Each column is assigned to a special characteristic. Thus it is possible for example to look at the diversification of the final force values of many thousands parts.

Furthermore a separate protocol can be generated for each part. This protocol shows the evaluation results including measuring curve with evaluation windows respectively envelope. For assembly units in which i.e. several press-fit operations are controlled by multiple DIGIFORCE®s a so-called group protocol can be generated, resuming the individual results of all press-fit operations belonging to the given assembly unit. Later-on a comfortable browser function enables the user to relocate those protocols very fast by means of the assigned serial number. This serial number either had been self-generated in advance by the software with reference to selectable criteria or it is provided by the higher-ranking control of the serial interface.
