Quality and productivity are key factors for success in sheet metal working. Innovative process monitoring solutions ensure that you are ready for the future. The requirements for sheet metal working companies have been growing continuously in the past years. Uncompromising quality, competitive prices for international markets, detailed process documentation as well as just in time, ship to stock or ship to line product deliveries require maximum process control. BRANKAMP systems provide companies with active support for all this. At the Blechexpo trade fair, booth 6302 Focus on: X5 The system sets new standards in its class. Page 2 HALL 6 BOOTH 6302 News Machine protection in toolmaking “We would have completely ruined the tool without this BRANKAMP monitoring. And that would have easily cost us 15,000 to 20,000 EUR.” “We were able to save about a third of the costs due to detecting defects which used to slip through before.” “Where else can you still score and save time? By ensuring that the tool continues to run smoothly. We achieve that with BRANKAMP monitoring devices.” Gerd Töpperwien, press shop manager, SKF Sealing Solutions GmbH Jens Göbel, technical manager, KLEIN Umformtechnik GmbH Iris König, managing director, J.C. König Stiftung & Co. KG in hall 6, the team is showing six specific fields of application from production practice – from setup and reliable detection of double sheets and stamping slugs to the unique Superstop technology for large presses from 500 t as well as servo presses. The BRANKAMP team also show the practical application of all new technologies at renowned companies in their new video. Binary monitoring Family ties Imprint The innovative systems in the X series revolutionize proven binary monitoring. Page 3 The X series is completed by BRANKAMP X3 and X7: a new standard for sheet metal working. Page 4 Many different products, small batch sizes and frequent tool changes increase the collision risk in toolmaking. A machine crash often results in the severe disruption of the entire value chain, possibly bringing the whole production to an immediate stop. This is why more and more companies are using the machine protection solutions from BRANKAMP in toolmaking as well. Learn everything about the CMS technology at the Blechexpo trade fair.

The BRANKAMP X5 is a universal, compact and easy to install ProcessMonitoring system. The system uses innovative technology to provide high precision recording and evaluation of measured values. This is completed by a tried and tested real time operating system offering optimum system performance and maximum reliabili- ty. The zoom function which allows monitoring of even the smallest signals provides best possible monitoring convenience even for complex compound progressive tools. The system also features optimum tools for exact process documentation. The BRANKAMP X5 is the successor of the proven PK 5XX systems. 5 RANKAMP X es of the B The advantag at a glance: uperlux) ning lamps (S tegrated war in h it w gn si tive device de  more attrac y la sp  12 inch direen sc  touch ve display (up to eight) rve channels e envelope cu  multi-cur ditional zoom g points on th ad in t pl gh m ei sa e to th  up ation of plus: optimiz  Optimizer ask chograph)  cockpit m diagram over 90 days (with ta rves  stop + go with representation of error cuinput annel  error log memory with alphanumerical with up to three queries per ch  large toolty device for up to eight inputs  tool safe t cam outputs  up to eigh AN optional  FactoryNet standard, W-L a as e bl ti pa LAN com  HALL 6 BOOTH 6302 November 2013 · Edition 11 · Volume 30 www.brankamp.com Page 3 The new generation of binary monitoring Feed control, ejector monitoring or determination of an exact part position: The systems in the BRANKAMP X series have revolutionized tool safety devices. The visualization on a modern color display alone is a revolution. For example in feed control: Where previously only a diode indicated whether any feed was taking place, the systems from the X series can now map the process exactly and provide a precise analysis of even the smallest deviations. Freely adjustable measuring windows allow the user to monitor all parameters which are essential to the process. “Signal scatter is no longer a problem as only the defined measuring windows are being monitored. This means there are no false shutdowns,” says Bernd Tepaß, sales manager for stamping at BRANKAMP. The BRANKAMP system directly evaluates the signals from the light barrier for the monitoring process. With just one sensor the process is capable of monitoring start and end interplay between feed movement and tool stroke. This can prevent The special issue of the feed. The system immediately recognizes incorrectly placed transmitters, incorrect belt positions or slipping. The system allows the user to precisely adapt the false strokes. Unnecessary safety tolerances between feed movement and stroke can be minimized. This opens up new potentials for the output. The countdown to the new BRANKAMP video The new BRANKAMP video shows the innovative tool safety using the revolutionary visualized binary monitoring technology. The video will be published in time for the leading trade fair Blechexpo. Until then, you can follow the countdown to publishing here (only available in German).
