Figure 9: Tonnage Monitor Bypass Setup Screen
This screen has settings that apply on a job basis to automatically bypass the low limits under specific
circumstances.
Bypass Low Limits
When Empty Part
When part tracking is being used (see section 10 on page 77 for information
about part tracking), low limits can be set to automatically bypass when there is
an empty part in the tracking registers.
Bypass Low Limits
When Bad Part When part tracking is being used (see section 10 on page 77 for information
about part tracking), low limits can be set to automatically bypass when there is
a bad part in the tracking registers.
Low Limit Bypass
Strokes Some presses may “ramp up” to speed to accommodate transfer mechanisms or
for other reasons. Often this results in a lower peak tonnage for the first few
strokes. This setting will automatically bypass low limits for a given number of
stokes after starting the press. Set this value to 0 to disable this behavior. This
setting also affects the auto-setup procedure in that the 16 strokes for the auto-
setup will not begin until the low limit bypass strokes have been made. This
can be up to 31 strokes
