Section 1.3 Shut Height Control
When a linear or rotary shut height control module is provided, the OmniLink 5000 can provide
accurate, repeatable shut height adjustment on presses that are in reasonable mechanical condition,
enhancing parts quality and reducing setup time. This system uses the existing slide motor starter.
Section 1.4 Hydraulic Overload Control
Most presses use a hydraulic overload system in which an air pressure sets up a much greater hydraulic
pressure to control the trip point (tonnage) at which the overload cylinder collapses. On these presses
the OmniLink 5000 can control the trip point to not only protect the machine, but also protect the tooling
on each job.
