In many press shops, software has so far rarely played a role in setting up transfer presses - although this is precisely where there is enormous potential for optimization. Setting up a 3-axis transfer is complex: positions, start and stop angles and their relationship form an abstract, non-linear problem that requires a great deal of experience and spatial thinking.
Even experienced employees run the risk of creating inefficient or inharmonious transfer motion sequences due to small oversights. These not only affect the stroke rate of the press line, but also increase the dynamic load on the mechanics and lead to reduced process stability due to vibrations. In addition, there are different Press HMIs depending on the press type and manufacturer, which further complicate the setup.
obviCALC starts right here: The software was specially developed for the intuitive and simple motion optimization of 3-axis transfer presses - regardless of the press manufacturer, online or offline. Instead of having to think in angles and curves, obviCALC makes it possible to define and optimize the movement in millimetres - comprehensibly, visually and goal-oriented. The user can immediately see the effects of their inputs on the movement and can optimize them in the software.
Just a few clicks are all it takes to create clean, collision-free movement profiles - faster, safer and more transparent. Field-proven optimization routines are used that take both clearance and dynamics into account. obviCALC is also ideal for training new employees: the learning process is significantly shortened, operation is intuitive and visually self-explanatory.
Thanks to touch optimization, the application also runs on Windows-based tablets and can therefore be used directly at the press - where decisions need to be made. In this way, you make an active contribution to increasing productivity, process reliability and sustainably efficient production operations.
