Compression force regulation

•	Comparison of the mean value of the compression force with the specified value. The filling depth is adjusted if a deviation of > 1% is found
•	Possibility of adjusting the regulation in response to statistics, sliding and control numbers permits optimization over a wide range, so that the negative effects of the time delay between filling and pressing is radically minimized
	–	less scrap production due to controlled regulation
	–	less downtime from a stationary machine
	–	saving in costs due to higher yield from each batch

Adjustable control parameters for compression force regulation

•	Adjustable compression force regulation through
	–	compression force tolerance parameter [%]
	–	step width per % parameter [mm]

•	The parameter specifies the relative compression force difference at which control action begins
•	The step width parameter defines the size of the control step
•	Standard regulation applies again if the parameter for the compression force tolerance is set to zero
	–	less scrap production due to controlled regulation
	–	less downtime from a stationary machine
	–	saving in costs due to higher yield from each batch
