manual rev 2.1 March 25, 1999
The graph shows the average tonnage, highest
good tonnage, and lowest good tonnage which are
collected in 10 minute intervals (unless a job is
changed, in which case the interval is terminated to
keep the tonnages associated with the correct job).
The highest good tonnage is the highest tonnage
that did not exceed the high setpoint and the lowest
good tonnage is the lowest tonnage that did not go
below the low setpoint of the tonnage monitor. The
average tonnage is the average of all in-limit hits.
This screen shows the average tonnages as an
area graph, the highest good tonnage as a line graph,
and the lowest good tonnage as a line graph. The
average tonnage for each different die run on the
machine appears in a different color.
The graph is arranged by time of day and can be
zoomed if greater detail is desired from a section of
the total graph. To zoom in on the graph, move the
mouse pointer to one corner of the area to zoom in
on, hold down the left mouse button, and without
letting up on the button, move the mouse to the
other corner of the area to zoom in on. When the
mouse is being dragged to the second corner, a
rectangle will show the zoom area. Note that after
a zoom, the graph can be zoomed again to go even
further in. To restore the graph to the full view,
click on “Undo Zoom” in the graph menu of figure
5.7.
To export the graph to a file or clipboard for use
by other windows programs, click on “Export...” in
the “Graph” menu of figure 5.7. A window will
appear with choices about where to send the graph.
To print the graph, select “Print” from the
“Graph” menu of figure 5.7. The graph will be
printed to the default windows printer.
5.5 Press Production Rate Graph
The production rate graph for a press on a past
day can be viewed by selecting the “Reports” menu,
then the “By Press” submenu, and finally “Prod Rate
Graph” as shown in figure 5.1. A dialog box will
appear with all the days for which average tonnage
graphs are available. Select the day and another
dialog box will appear with a list of machines with
data on that day. Select a machine and the graph
will appear in a window. In addition, a new menu
item, “Graph”, will appear as shown in figure 5.7.
This graph shows the production rate in parts
per minute as an area graph in 10 minute intervals
(unless a job is changed, in which case the interval is
terminated to keep the rates associated with the
correct job). The production rate for each die that
is run that day on the machine appears in a different
color.
The graph is arranged by time of day and can be
zoomed if greater detail is desired from a section of
the total graph. To zoom in on the graph, move the
mouse pointer to one corner of the area to enlarge,
hold down the left mouse button, and without letting
up on the button, move the mouse to the other
corner of the area. When the mouse is being
dragged to the second corner, a rectangle will show
the zoom area. Note that after a zoom, the graph
can be zoomed again to go even further in. To
restore the graph to the full view, click on “Undo
Zoom” in the graph menu of figure 5.7.
To export the graph to a file or clipboard for use
by other windows programs, click on “Export...” in
the “Graph” menu of figure 5.7. A window will
appear with choices about where to send the graph.
To print the graph, select “Print” from the
“Graph” menu of figure 5.7. The graph will be
printed to the default windows printer.
5.6 Die Performance Overview Report
The die performance overview report is intended
to give a very high level view of the utilization and
uptime of dies over a given time frame. To generate
this report, select the “Reports” menu, then the “By
Die” submenu, and finally “Performance Overview”
as shown in figure 5.2. A dialog box similar to
figure 5.5 will appear to allow a selection of the time
of interest (see section 5.2 for a discussion of how
this works). After the day, week, etc is selected, the
dialog box of figure 5.6 will appear with a list of dies
and shifts that are valid for that time period.. Select
the dies and shifts that are to be included in the
report and hit the “OK” button to generate the
report.
