Advanced Features in Wintriss Press Automation Controller to be Highlighted at FABTECH Mexico 2024

ACTON, MA U.S.A. (February 20, 2024)Wintriss Controls Group will be demonstrating advanced features in its SmartPAC PRO Press Automation Controller in a booth shared with its distributor Promotores Técnicos at FABTECH Mexico Booth #3600 at the Cintermex in Monterrey, May 7-9, 2024. For a connection to a smarter factory, including when remote monitoring is required, the latest functionality in SmartPAC PRO gives metal formers and fabricators efficient and easy-to-use tools.

SmartPAC PRO features the ProCamPAC PRO advanced Programmable Limit Switch

Wintriss reports it will highlight the world’s most advanced Programmable Limit Switch (PLS) — ProCamPAC PRO for the SmartPAC PRO Controller at the show. Show attendees can see this PLS which includes counter-driven outputs that operate only on specified strokes to precisely control gagging operations, asymmetrical toggle outputs for controlling complex configurable tooling, and additional timed outputs for even greater versatility.

Attendees can also see the Advanced DiProPAC Die Protection Module for maximum die protection. Highlights include a customizable green sensor type called Green Flex that combines all the elements of the other Green sensor types. This versatile cyclic sensor can monitor intermittent events such as gagging operations, and also has a function that allows for the precise monitoring of events that need to occur multiple times per cycle. In addition, Wintriss has expanded the static sensor monitoring capabilities in DiProPAC with auto-reset, programmable bypass angles, and minimum actuation time settings.

Wintriss will also demonstrate its advanced ShopFloorConnect® OEE and Data Collection Software that collects downtime and production efficiency data from every machine, ranging from CNC machines to presses, fabricating machines and more, in all areas of discrete manufacturing. Data is displayed in real-time, and indispensable manufacturing reports are produced, including detailed OEE reports in a variety of formats.
