Managing Thermal Expansion Tolerances and Yield Loss across Scaled High Speed Stamping Dies
Active thermal control and cryogenic substrate stabilization eliminate shut-height drift and thermal scrap loss in high-speed progressive stamping dies.
Real Time Telemetry
Meaning
Data transmission systems provide immediate updates from sensors located on production equipment. Real time telemetry allows engineers to monitor forces, temperatures and vibrations as they occur during a manufacturing cycle. The system is active only while the sensors are powered and communicating with a receiver.
Signal Latency
High performance systems minimize the delay between the physical event and the data display. When real time telemetry operates with low latency, it can trigger emergency stops in a fraction of a second to prevent tool damage. This speed is necessary for high speed presses that strike several times per second.
Monitoring Utility
Seeing a live graph of the press tonnage identifies issues like material thickness variations or tool wear. Real time telemetry provides a window into the machine that is not possible with manual inspection. Trends that appear over several hours can be used to predict when a tool will need maintenance.
Data Infrastructure
Robust wireless or wired networks are required to handle the large volume of information generated by the sensors. If the connection fails, the real time telemetry stops providing protection for the machine. Secure storage of this data allows for detailed analysis of historical performance and quality audits.
