SmartPAC 2 with WPC Integration

WPC Options

Optional components also available with WPC include:
• Counterbalance air pressure switch works the same as the clutch air pressure switch.
However, this switch is used with the counterbalance air supply. It is required by OSHA
regulations on presses with counterbalances.
• One-hand Control is a low-force switch that can be used with any Wintriss
Clutch/Brake Control (WPC) with one hand and single stroke mode. A Shadow light
curtain must be used with One-hand Control for guarding the point of operation. The
One-hand Control switch can be mounted on or near the press and allows the press
operator to cycle the press without using the operator station. To start the press, the
operator just presses the button as part of his normal hand motion after loading a part.
One-hand Control can be used in "light curtain break" mode. In this mode, the operator
must press the One-hand control button within eight seconds after removing his hands
from the light curtain. Otherwise the press will not start.
For complete information about One-hand Control, see Chapter 2 for installation and
Chapter 6 for operation.
• Foot Switch frees up the operator's hands for increased, fully guarded protection and
productivity. (Shadow light curtain is required with Foot Switch.)
• Bar Mode Control allows operators and setup personnel to bar the press by hand for die
setting and adjustment (recommended for smaller capacity presses, of 65-ton capacity or
less).
• Automatic Single Stroke (External Trip) allows equipment like a feeder to signal WPC
to start the press for one stroke. This is useful when your press must stop after every
stroke until a feed is completed. The Automatic Single Stroke function allows the feeder
to signal WPC to start the press when the feed is complete.
Refer to Chapters 2 and 4 for more information.
• Continuous on Demand allows an external signal to cause WPC to start operating the
press in continuous mode.
• Multiple Operator Stations and Dual Operator Select Control:
NOTICE
Use light curtains in addition to multiple operator stations for best personnel safeguarding
You can have an unlimited number of operator stations as part of your WPC system.
However, up to two operator stations can be connected directly to WPC. More than two
operator stations need to be connected to WPC via a Dual Operator Selection Control
(Wintriss part no. 4152100).
