Calibrating Force Monitor channel (CFM)
Calibrating Force Monitor channel (CFM) is the newest member of the monitoring channels and a strong addition to the energy channel. Until now, cold welds caused by overlap errors were almost undetectable. Even with perfectly adjusted slitting machines, blanks can turn out too large. This can happen if the tinplate has a pretension and does not lie perfectly flat during cutting. By measuring the force in the calibration tool, these cans are detected and rejected, and conclusions can be drawn about the sheet metal blanks.
The Calibration Force Monitor (CFM) completes our well-proven SWM-3 system and is a perfect mate to the Energy channel. Changing overlaps in both directions (+/-) are now detected. The CFM force measurement is integrated into the UNITOOL. The CFM is only available on those machines that are equipped with a UNITOOL.
Force measurement
A sensitive force measurement is directly integrated into Soudronics UNITOOL.
Display
Inconsistencies in cutting results in calibration force patterns and are visible directly in the force pattern graph.
Monitoring
Experienced operators can judge the calibration force on the cans and recognize inconsistent overlap or influences of a bad adjusted calibration tool.
Advantages and benefits of Calibrating Force Monitor channel (CFM)
- Cutting variations with certain patterns: Badly adjusted track on the slitter
- Calibration force at the beginning of a production run immediately shows whether the machine is still set up the same way or if something has fundamentally changed
- Changes of the gaps between cans
- Adjustment of the tool (overlap) based on the force signal curve
- Influence of the pre-calibration setting
