The HBM solution
Hirschvogel Pinghu has fitted
two SLB700A transducers on each of the support columns of their forging machine. This means that
parallel signals are created that are then amplified and conditioned by HBM’s
MP55DP single channel amplifier and
transferred to the controlling PLC through Profibus DP without any accuracy loss. The whole measuring system is calibrated with lifting jack.
HBM’s
SLB700A strain transducer is intended for applications where
high forces are to be measured. Fitting two SLB700A strain transducers in parallel on opposite sides of the test piece can compensate for
bending effects on work pieces. The SLB700A is designed with compensating elements for adapting to the different steel types commonly used in mechanical engineering and features a
high degree of protection.
The
MP55DP is a single-channel,
4.8 kHz carrier frequency amplifier with Profibus interfaces. It is part of HBM’s
PME amplifier system and is designed to complement the SLB700A by providing a self-sustained monitoring unit for all industry requirements. The complete system features a CAN or Profibus interface for
easy integration into automation systems.
HBM is providing leading technology solutions for manufacturers across China and has supplied a similar solution to
Schuler China, the technological and global market leader in metal forming.
