THE maXYmos BL force-displacement measurement system helps manufacturers attain zero-defect production in their hand-operated press processes. Based on the course of force and displacement measurement curves, the process can be visualized and the quality of the press process evaluated. Deviations are detected immediately and faulty parts can be separated at an early stage. This enables the quality of hand-operated press processes to be reproduced – independently of the respective operating personnel. The result is 100% quality control.
Kistler is also inviting visitors to experience the sequencer mode of the maXYmos BL. This mode enables users to define an individual sequence of steps for each press process via the intuitive user interface of the touch display. 11 digital inputs and 8 corresponding outputs can be programmed in order to query and output process-relevant statuses. Up to 128 sequence elements can be configured for each measurement program.
The maXYmos BL progressively checks whether all conditions have been fulfilled. In this manner, not only the production process can be controlled and good and bad end results detected, but it can also be deducted whether the desired quality has been attained in each step of the sequence. This can subsequently be reflected graphically. Ultimately, the required quality is ensured without the need for complex external control systems (PLC). In order to update existing manual presses, the measurement system – including sequencer mode – is also available as a retrofit package.

Alongside the maXYmos BL, Kistler will also be presenting new functions of its top level system in Stuttgart. The maXYmos TL 1.1.4 includes an extensible language package, which now also encompasses Japanese, Portuguese and Czech. In addition, the system offers faster back-up functionalities, for example via USB or with the related maXYmos computer software. New cable solutions have also been developed to allow the connec-tion of torque sensors.
