Products
SmartPAC PRO Press Automation Controller
The SmartPAC PRO features a large, easy-to-use vivid touch screen interface, dual-core processors, user-configurable dashboards, virtually unlimited tool setup storage, the ability to share setups among networked SmartPAC PRO units, and more.
SmartView PRO Network Interface
The SmartView PRO Network Interface for the Wintriss industry leading SmartPAC PRO Press Automation Controller allows any PC or mobile device on your network to access and download information from networked SmartPAC PRO controls. The interface displays the current job status, press tonnage, percent of job complete, and estimated time until job completion. Users can also view SmartPAC PRO error and event logs and send an on-screen text message to the press operator, saving time, enhancing productivity and reducing potential production problems. In addition, users can download an installed option list, tool list, and individual tool programs.
ProCamPAC PRO Programmable Limit Switch
ProCamPAC PRO Programmable Limit Switch (PLS) for the Wintriss flagship SmartPAC PRO Press Automation Controller builds on the proven functionality of the ProCamPAC PLS by offering additional cam timing options that provide unprecedented flexibility and functionality. Additional cam timing options include a Toggle Cam Output that performs an asymmetrical toggle function, turning an output off or on for different stroke amounts. The output can be used to operate diverter gates and to control complex gagging operations. An On/Off Output precisely controls functions that need to operate at preset intervals instead of on every machine cycle.
ShopFloorConnect® OEE and Data Collection Software
The easy-to-use software collects downtime and production efficiency data from every machine, ranging from stamping presses to fabricating machines and more, in all areas of discrete manufacturing. Data is displayed in real-time and is kept on premises. Indispensable manufacturing reports are produced, including detailed OEE reports in a variety of formats. Affordable and scalable, Wintriss offers flexible subscription options for ShopFloorConnect®.
The new “Tracker” hardware solution for ShopFloorConnect® is designed to simplify and maximize data collection, while minimizing operator involvement. For capturing and tracking process parameters, customers can choose from several pre-programmed digital inputs such as run/ idle and counting, and analog inputs including temperature, pressure, voltage, and electrical current.
