System 1100 Tonnage Monitor

The System 1100 is a microprocessor-based monitor that can determine, display and compare developed forces with preset limits for machines that use large forces in the production process. Utilizing strain gage transducers located on appropriate load bearing machine components, the System 1100 is able to measure and display both total load and load distribution.  The measured forces are compared with adjustable high, low, and reverse setpoint limits for each strain gage transducer channel.  An out-of-limit stroke will trip an alarm circuit that sends a stop signal to the machine control

	Available in either 2 or 4 channels    Use of Data Windows allow for close monitoring by not only checking absolute peak tonnages, but also checking up to 4 additional local peaks created by staggered tooling    Automatic setup allows all setpoints to be calculated and set automatically    123 setups can be stored and recalled by job name or number
