Visualized Display Force output and press stroke are important parameters for evaluating the quality of pressed assemblies. The data of these measurements are recorded during the process and displayed by the software as force / stroke behaviour curve F / s, F / t or s / t. Freely definable tolerances in the form of force/stroke windows and stroke tolerances are provided for quality assurance of the assembly process. With the help of these criteria, quality critical areas can be monitored selectively. If the tolerances in the monitored curve areas are not met, application-specific interventions...
