It is a hydraulic press and I know squat about them. It seems that we just need to get repeatability in the distance the press travels. I will gather more info today I hope.
Thanks
Well if I now understand what they want correctly, I think we can do it and get some repeatablilty out of it. But it is on the backburner for now, to busy with other items....
OK in discussions with the folks who want this done, I have found out that they do not need to control to such accuracy. What they need is if the "head thickness" of the part is 1/10,000 off, they would like to dial in a compensation factor for the press to stop sooner etc. There are limit...
That makes sense, I was wondering how in the heck I would CONTROL the press. At present they use blocks to prevent the press from comming down to far but the control to depth was hard for me to see how, especially in an economical way. I will check into this and see just how important this level...
Well that would explain it. I know that radius is very important but the termination quality would be so by a much higher factor.
What is the warranty from the contractor? This is very exspensive for someone to eat.....
Well I checked into it and there is concern with it not being sealed. So I have moved on to looking into using a Sealed Absolute Linear Encoder of some type.
Checking out Stegman and Heidenhain, thing is even if I get the control precision I need, how inthe heck am I going to control it? These...
Hello,
I need to come up with a way to control a very large press to get precise depth control. I need a resolution of 1/1000th of an inch and if not to $$ , 1/10kth of an inch. I was looking at an absolute encoder but I would like to explore other paths. The press is very old ~50 years so the...
