smartLINE and PSAs are the basic
components of our combi measuring
system: smartCONTROL.

Preformed cables ensure a simple but safe
installation. All of the piezo sensors ca be
plugged into the tool in order to facilitate a
fast tool change.

The smartLINE / PSA connection is via Ether-
CAT. This enables max. 12 piezo sensors to
be cascaded quickly. The operating voltage
(24V DC) is provided via a plug-in power
supply or the switch cabinet control voltage.

Only a few instructions with a click of the
finger suffice and smartLINE organizes and
manages, and that entirely automatically
with PC support. Analysing, visualizing,
reporting, documenting, nothing remains
concealed and nothing is left to chance.
smartLINE provides accurate data and
information, thereby taking the required
actions automatically. smartLINE assists
you without beaks and thereby relieves
you of a great amount of routine work.

With the 100% punching and deformation
control, you have a permanent view of
the most important process parameters
concerning the qualitiy of the parts and
the tool life.

Cuttings or punchings, abrasion tinsel, soiled strips result in marks, sink holes, cracks, scoring,
scratches or dents which cause unacceptable deformation, surface and dimension faults.
The aim of this measuring device is to detect these quality defects and eject defective parts.

One or more piezo sensors int the holding-down plate detect the force progress of the deformation.
smartLINE permanently analyses these signals, visualizes them and then reports even the slightest
deformation or surface defects. These result in an ejection of the defective parts or a rapid halting of
the machine, according to choice.

Die breakage, die breakouts, a blocked punching channel and residues in the die result in an immediate
deactivation of the machine. The cutting force, die wear, extraction force and the punching force are
indications that maintenance work is necessary. Piezo sensors in the punching die pressure plate detect the
Progress of the die force. smartLINE analyses these complex Signal structures, permanently visualizes
them and then Immediately reports any non-adherence to the stipulated threshold values.

A sensor per punching die would be ideal but this is not always possible in the practice for space reasons. A
useful alternative would be to allocate a sensor to each of the punching die groups.
