Press Information Collection

Press Information Collection

To Create a very accurate T-SIM Press Template, we need the following information. 

Please download the zip file below (Press Information Package 2024.zip

1- Press-Transfer Information Sheet.xls -This is all the basic info for the press and transfer system. Dimensions/measurements and capabilities.

a.       Refer to the “Press Transfer Glossary of Terms”

2- The Ram Timing Curve – Minimum of one of these three will do:

a.       If press is eccentric motion (not a link motion), if you can provide the connecting rod length and the press stroke, we can determine the slide timing accurately. (Ideal for servo presses)

b.       Slide position versus crank angle in Excel format is preferred, but if you have a clean image like Sample slide timing diagram.pdf, that should also be sufficient.

c.       If you do not have a slide timing curve, you can get that info manually using the Manual Slide Timing Worksheets

3- 3-5 sample recipes of jobs running in the press. Refer to attached “Existing Tool Recipe Collection Process.pdf”

a.       With each recipe also include the actual SPM production rate (what you actually run the press at) and any additional information as to why you are only running the press at the specified rate. i.e. The control says 18 but we only run at 15 because the bar shakes or we get sensor faults.

4- If you can answer YES to either of these questions, please include additional details

a.       Are there any restrictions in the side window or press columns that could cause issues with transfer (Counter balance cylinder, brackets, etc.)?

b.       Are there any limitations in the front of line, mid-line or end of line that may prevent a die from entering production, such as fixed height conveyors, blank nests, exit windows, servo shuttles, wiring/air-lines, destackers/robot arms, etc.?

c.       Could your park brackets interfere with the transfer bars during production? If so, please include the bar park positions.

5- Please complete and return the attached customer intake form (Facility Preferences Audit Sheet 2024.pdf)


Please note: An accurate press template is what allows T-SIM to maximize your production rates and create plug and play settings (setup sheets). The more information you provide to us, the better your initial results from simulation.

 

Please include any additional reference materials for your equipment such as:

·         CAD Model of Press and Transfer system

·         Pictures of the Press Controller (input screens, user interface, job setup screen, etc.)

·         Pictures of the Transfer Controller (input screens, user interface, job setup screen, etc.)

·         Picture of the Specification Plate on the Press itself

·         Any spec sheets for your equipment

·         Company Standards

·         2D or 3D Drawings (PDF, DWF, STP, ETC.)

·         Owner manuals for the press and/or transfer system

·         Recent Bill of Materials for Automation Preferences

 

Once you have gathered all of the necessary information, please upload the information to our sharefile here:
