Controls

Allen-Bradley PLC is the standard control system

Optional computer-based controls for operator interface, data acquisition and archiving

Sequential control with digital analog inputs and outputs

Digital puller speed selection synchronized through the PLC

Closed-loop puller cylinder stroke

Puller speed is insensitive to process pull load changes

Touch-sensitive monochrome display screens

Control sequences provided for "start up"; run modes include puller cycles of "Jog", "Intermittent Single Clamp", "Continuous Dual Clamp" and "Tandem Dual Clamp"

All temperatures are established from the touch screen and controlled by PLC PID logic loops

Temperature control zones sufficient for machine die loading

Solid state relays to control temperature zone power with power flow indication

Automatic digital encoder inputs, mechanical limit switches, or two-wire sensor outputs control cut-off cycles

Controls located in NEMA 12 enclosures
