Force and Displacement Monitoring
Force and displacement monitoring is an indispensable tool for quality assurance in industrial joining and pressing processes. By combining force and displacement sensors, measuring systems can monitor the entire process and ensure that the required requirements are met. This leads to higher product quality, improved process control and optimisation of production processes in industrial manufacturing. Monitoring systems from burster are characterised by maximum measuring precision, flexible process integration and automatic sensor recognition using burster TEDS.

Precision in joining and pressing processes
Force and displacement monitoring plays a decisive role in modern joining and pressing processes, especially in industrial installation and quality assurance. By precisely measuring the force applied and the distance travelled, burster controllers can be used to control and optimise pressing processes. This type of monitoring ensures compliance with the required quality and avoids errors that could lead to production downtimes or defective products.
Requirements for force and displacement monitoring
The requirements placed on the measuring devices for force and displacement monitoring vary depending on the application and machine. In manual presses, hydraulic presses and complex machines, the sensors used must be able to accurately measure the pressing force and displacement. This data is then processed in measuring systems and controllers and provides valuable results that enable precise control of the pressing processes. The demands placed on the measuring system are particularly high in the area of gearbox assembly or when press-fitting components in high-precision joining processes. Monitoring ensures that the entire press-fit process corresponds to the specified parameters and thus guarantees the desired product quality.
Meaningful analysis and flexible integration
burster solutions enable the measurement data to be analysed in detail and evaluated. In highly automated systems, the force and displacement monitoring systems are integrated directly into the machine control system in order to monitor and optimise the desired process in real time. With variable fieldbus interfaces, all common sensor and variable fieldbus interfaces and high-performance PC software, they are equipped for the future.
