ProcessMonitoring via PC with Touch Screen
BRANKAMP GT

A new generation of process terminals. BRANKAMP has designed its universal process terminal based on state-of-the-art PC technology. The BRANKAMP GT  is the first  of a new generation of process monitoring systems for stamping, cold forming and cutting machines. A universal system for all production machines, the GT supports all process programs: on-line process display, automatic stop recording, dynamic envelope curve, error message, stop code memory, shift protocol, trend, counter and more.

• Touch Screen
• Colour
• Macro
• Open Interface
• Multitasking
• Online process control

  Touch Screen
  Easy-to-use touch screen is more robust and easier to clean than conventional keyboards.
  Color
  Colored templates display data more clearly, particularly when viewing curves. A template button selects one of three template styles: classic, elegant and contemporary.
  Macro
  The GT display may be enlarged by more than 200 percent by its zoom function.
  Interface
  BRANKAMP designed the GT with an open interface for networking and remote diagnosis via a modem.
  Multi-task
  The GT software is compatible with Windows 95 and NT and supports integration of CAD drawings, quality control and shop floor data.
  
  

Of course, users may install other Windows-based software as well.

Bar feed stop monitoring with BRANKAMP 100 MA
BRANKAMP B100 MA

We fit the bar feed stop lever with a tried an tested force measurement sensor and measure the stop force and the entire pressure course.

BRANKAMP 100 MA serves both as an adjustment aid for the material advance and to monitor the continuous production.

The Problem

• Parts too short
• Parts can turn out too short if:
  • the Material feed is too excessive
  • the bar feed stop lever is set incorrectly
  • the spring chucks are dirty or worn
    
  And these are your advantages:

• Quality assurance by means of sorting out scrap parts
• Machine safety by means of machine stop
• Optimization of the production process
• Reduction of the set-up times

Collision Monitoring for Machine Tools
BRANKAMP CMS

• Rapid detection of change in force (collision)
• Giving prevention of damage following a collision in the event of program, set up or user error
• Can be used on any CNC -machine
• Easy retrofitting
• No interface to machine controller necessary
• Control panel installation optional: protection housing IP 54 or CNC - machine integration

Multi Sensor Technology

	Turning, grinding, drilling, milling, turn broaching, whirling, drawing, cutting, stamping, forming, clinching ... ...the demands on sensors are as numerous as the application in metal processing. BRANKAMP offers sensors for any kind of operation. To get a better look into the process multiple sensors of different types can be used. Our units are able to process all sensor signals in parallel. This is BRANKAMP multi-sensor technology, part of BOMA (BRANKAMP OPEN MODULAR ARCHITECTURE). In other words: All sensors fit to all units, all sensors can be combined with any other sensor. Sensor installation is now simple.
					Micro sensor Measures the strains on the surface of the machine body
					BRANKAMP Power Sensor [BPS] Measures the power of motors on machine tools
					Acoustic Emission Sensor [AE] Measures high frequency noises
					Vario sensor Measures the force within a borehole
					Piezoelectric sensor [PDA] Measures the strains on the surface of the machine body
					Magnetic Inductive Sensor [MIS] Measuring on the machine structure
					One/Three- Component-quartz [3C quartz] Measures the lateral force flow
					One- or Three-component-quartz sensor with integrated rapid changer
