electric bills. The System 1100 Tonnage Monitors can also
help match tooling and machines so that larger than necessary
machines aren't used in low tonnage applications, again saving
energy.
# MEET OSHA REQUIREMENTS to operate within machine capacity.
OSHA's General Industry Standards 29CFR1910.217 (f) (4)
require mechanical power presses to be operated within tonnage
rating. System 1100 Tonnage Monitors provide this information
simply and directly.
System 1100 Tonnage Monitors offer a wide range of practical
features and design parameters that make them extremely versatile
in application and use. Some of these features are:
#
Layered accessibility to controls allows easy display of load,
setpoint information and alarms, but all operating mode and
setpoint selection controls require the use of a keyed
selector switch for supervisory control. Selectable keyed
reset after an alarm is standard on all units.
# Two and four channel units are available to provide versatile
and correct monitoring of a variety of machines.
#
Large 4-digit LED displays continuously display forward or
reverse loads in tons for all channels and the total.
#
Multi-colored LED displays graphically show the peak tonnage
relative to the high and low setpoints for each channel.
# A 2 line by 20 character LCD display and 25 key keyboard
provide easy access to all tonnage monitor functions.
# Settable tonnage limits provided are: Maximum allowable
forward tonnage (HIGH SETPOINT), minimum required forward
tonnage (LOW SETPOINT), and maximum allowable reverse tonnage
(REV SETPOINT).
# One hundred twenty-three setups containing as many as 60
setpoints can be stored in non-volatile memory and recalled by
job number or name.
# Data windows allow for close monitoring of even complex dies
by not only checking absolute peak tonnages, but also checking
up to four additional 'local peaks' created by staggered
