Smart production with intelligent clamping technology
Greater efficiency and transparency in production
The intelligent tool clamp has digital monitoring functions with which condition, clamping process and production data can be monitored and retrieved. The position directly on the press tool and the common data evaluation of all tool clamps on one slide leads to significantly higher information content.
The data is evaluated in parallel with the process and presented in an understandable way in the dashboard. This enables you to identify potential for improvement in your production more quickly.
Intelligence means understanding
The data is analysed by our evaluation software BERGtronic. Specially developed algorithms make it possible to obtain information about the forming process with the help of the recorded sensor data. This allows process deviations and trends to be analysed without having to integrate additional sensors elsewhere on the forming machine.
Agile production thanks to digital twin
The behaviour of the machine and tool is recorded as a digital twin in the evaluation software during the calibration of the system. This algorithm can be adapted to other production conditions and thus offers the possibility for agile production.
We turn products into intelligent systems
The crucial factor for development of the intelligent tool clamp was the increasing demand for new types of clamping systems for forming machines. Our objective: to increase process reliability during forming and to reduce machine auxiliary process times – caused by set-up or adjustment processes – as well as machine downtimes.
Strong partners are needed to realise the idea of smart clamping technology. Together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology, we are continuously working on our intelligent clamping systems to provide you with the best possible support for the digitalisation of your press facility.
