UMF Precision5 The UFM Precision5 units are suitable for assembly and joining applications with force-distance monitoring requiring small forces and high precision. Assembly and Sensor Technology

Gerhard Lechler founded the company PROMESS in 1977 as an engineering office in the field of technical measurement in Berlin. Initially, the company distributed handmade patented measuring bearings for tool condition monitoring before the electro-mechanical assembly press (UFM) with integrated NC control was born at the end of the 1980s. Right from the beginning it was the strength and the passion of Gerhard Lechler to develop technical solutions for his customers. And this has not changed until today. This passion has continued so that the core competence of PROMESS is still the development...

Overview of Press Types The units of the series UFM Precision5 can be configured differently: with or without holding brake and with piezo or strain gauge force transducer, except the 200 N unit which is equipped with a piezo force transducer by default. Additionally the following types are available: Type Force (kN) Stroke (mm) Speed (mm/s) Advantages ■ Standard model includes absolute encoder that eliminates the need for referencing Because of its high accuracy, the press series UFM Precision5 is well suited for applications in the lower load range, requiring the highest precision. The whole...

As standard, the UFM Precision5 range of presses comes with the UFM V5.xx programming software. This software is intuitive to operate and does not require any PLC expertise. It can be used to create simple or advanced joining processes. The integrated User Administration feature offers multiple permission levels and logging for process safety. The log documents who makes which changes to the program. Each user profile can be exported and then imported to another station. Thus it is possible to integrate a user administration system and also to connect the system to a higher-level permission system...

Trigger Technology by PROMESS The triggers are “pulse points”. Up to seven trigger points can be defined in order to react to processing events during movement. These reactions can include: ^ ■ Smooth speeds ■ Set the outputs in real time ■ Change target parameters during movement ■ Correct process tolerances during movement Modern Database Structure All process data including the curves can be stored in a database. All common database formats such as Oracle, MS SQL and Access are supported. A separate database is created for each station. Programs can be stored and re-used at any time. Since...

Sensors (Displacement Transducers) PROMESS has developed extensive accessories for the UFM Precision5 range of presses that provide them with additional functionality. Together with our many years of expertise, we provide you with complete technologies for solving your own complex assembly and testing tasks. Technical Data Item no. Sensor / Accessory Cable Stroke Resolution Connecting cables have to be ordered separately. PROMESS provides different frames on request.

System Design As an option to our assembly presses UFM Precision5 we offer our PROMESS Safety Box PSB as an alternative to the integration in electrical cabinets. The device features all safety and power components for this purpose. It can easily and quickly be connec- ted by plug & play. All cables are design, the PSB can be mounted next n Reduction of cable lengths to the assembly press so that cable lengths can be reduced and wiring becomes unnecessary. By using the PSB your assembly press will be ready for production instantly. Power cable - Visualization - Database - Program Memory diagrams...

System Design The PSD safety module is delivered tested and ready to install. It contains the power electronics and safety controller for the assembly press. It offers the following safety functionality: STO in PLe in accordance with DIN ISO 13849-1; optional: SSx and SLS in PLd in accordance with DIN ISO 13849-1. The safety module eases and accelerates the installation procedure for the joining unit. The PSD is suitable for our UFM Precision5 units with and without brakes. As a prerequisite, it must be controlled using field bus. Advantages ■ Short installation times ■ No wiring necessary ■...

PROMESS offers four different multifunction amplifiers PDM. The modules are digitally connected to the UFM control via the PROMESS-Bus.
