Tie Bar Load Monitor
When you close the platens on a pressure die casting machine enormous forces are applied to the die, the platens, the toggle links and the tie bars
When you take a shot, another set of high forces and pressure spikes come into play.
All these forces impact upon the condition of your machines and dies and can also affect the quality of the casting.
The Tie Bar Load Monitor enables you to continuously measure and automatically monitor the load on each tie bar.
With this information you can:
- Set locking forces accurately
- Reduce flash safely
- Detect wear in the machine
- Prevent damage to dies
- Prevent cracked tie bars
The Tie Bar Load Monitor consists of a Control Panel and a sensor for each tie bar. It is designed to be attached permanently to a machine, however, it can be easily moved to another machine if required.
Targets for high and low lock-up force can be set for each Tie Bar and an alarm can be activated if any limits are breached.
The load profile for up to 50 dies can be stored and quickly recalled at set-up time.
Suitable for hot and cold chamber machines from 80 to 4000 tons.
Accurate, reliable and low cost.
