HBM has now developed an IPM software interface for the MP85A FASTpress and MP85A-S EASYswitch process controllers, thereby providing easier connections to process data management software. The IPM interface ensures seamless integration of the controllers so that production data can be transmitted directly to a quality assurance server for visualisation and archiving.
The MP85A FASTpress and MP85A-S EASYswitch process controllers are used for monitoring press-fitting processes (FASTpress) or implementing switch checks (EASYswitch). They acquire and evaluate measured values from the transducer to monitor production quality.
IPM software has been developed by CSP GmbH & Co KG and is used by many leading manufacturers in production monitoring, quality control and documentation.
In addition to the overall status - whether the component is OK or NOK - up to nine evaluation windows or complete curves of, for example, a press-fit process can be transmitted. Data can also be observed in real time via a web browser, which enables the press-fit process to be monitored without manually operating the production machinery.
In the event of production problems an SMS text message or email is sent automatically so that swift remedial action may be taken. This rapid error evaluation aids the maintenance and improvement of product quality.
Data can also be analysed to, for example, determine trends in measured values so that corrective action may be taken before faulty parts are produced. All data is permanently stored in the IPM software database so that seamless traceability of produced parts is guaranteed.
