2 Correct usage

The press unit is designed and built for assembly operation tasks, e. g. for pressing in bearings,
absorbers and shafts or to press in and caulk seals.

Operations, other than the above, may not be performed on the machine.

The permissible loads are determined by the performance data of the unit and must not be exceeded
by any larger extent.
Avoid the following situations in particular:
Abrupt loads at high positioning velocities - “collisions”,
Forces under normal operations that exceed the nominal load by more than 110%,
Excessive loads through unpredicted operational conditions, exceeding the nominal load by 100%.

3 Safety precautions

The press unit may only be used to perform the operations it is intended for. The use in other
operations or for other purposes may lead to operator injuries and damages to the unit.

If you have acquired the unit as “components“ without the optional mounting plate, you are responsible
for the installation of the Emergency Stop chain according to EN 418 Cat. 1. PROMESS is not liable
for damages resulting from incorrect installation.

The power amplifier may only be connected and operated by competent personnel.

It is strictly forbidden to disconnect, bridge or remove any safety equipment!

The belt protection may only be removed once the unit is completely electrically disconnected from the
power amplifier.
If it is not possible to start the unit because of a technical disturbance or functional problem of the
protective equipment, then the faulty part or equipment must be repaired or exchanged.
It is strictly forbidden to operate the press unit without the proper function of the safety equipment,
e. g. through manipulation of the safety devices!

The press unit may only be operated by personnel who have been fully instructed in its proper
operation.

If problems occur during normal operation and they can not be resolved through known and
recommended strategies, specialist personnel from the responsible department must be informed.

5 Program start

Start the program with the help of the icon installed.

During start up, the program scans the whole system to determine which modules are connected. This
scanning takes place provided the option "automatic" has been selected under “polling of the stations”
(new or substitute modules are always supplied with the station number 31 set). The station number
desired must be entered in parameter 20.29 of the Unidrive. For details on how to enter parameters,
please see the Unidrive manual, page 5-5 (parameterisation).
If you only want to establish a connection to a specific station, you should select “manual”.

Once a station has been detected, the following station window is opened:

The program stored in the NC module is automatically loaded and displayed.

If there are any communication problems, check the configuration of the interface first.

!!!
Before you start the unit for the first time, please check whether the calibration factor is
correct. To do this, open „program parameter“ in the menu „service“ and check under
„calibration“. You will find the right calibration factor in the „Proprietary Calibration
Certificate“, you have got with the UFM and on the mechanical unit.

9.3 Press to signal

This function is very similar to the press on force block, however in this case you press to an external
signal that you can select from the signal source. You can select between an external analog signal of
a switch signal. If you want to set the switch signal via the bus, you can use the freely programmable
inputs 1 and 2.

If you do not set the switch signal via the bus, but as a 24 VDC signal, you must first select the option
“User I/O“ in the standard settings under “Program Parameter“. The reference input then becomes
input PLC 1 and the start input becomes input PLC 2. The start and reference run can then only be
executed via the bus system.

19
 Promess Montage- und Prüfsysteme GmbH Berlin
UFM NC-Modul V3
 PROMESS
Once you have selected one of the switch signals, define the threshold or switching limit that should
trigger the movement end using the signal limits. (On = Stop, when level is "high", Off = Stop, when
level is "low")

Enter the pre-position, speed, acceleration and overload value for the force. Also define the maximum
position and the pressing speed.

• Extension

Use this extension to configure the monitoring and, if necessary, a control once the switch-off criteria
are reached.

• Hold signal
If you select this point, you can regulate the external input values; i.e. the module changes its
position so that the signal remains constant for the given time.

• Teach-in of limit curves: A teach-in curve for this function is established, when the next teach-in
cycle is started. Existing limit curves are overwritten. The distance of the limit curves relative the
actual curve may be set in the service menu under configuration => control parameters =>
parameters in field, teach-in strategy,

9.7 Conditional jump

Use this function to program jumps in your program.

9.8 Motion Control

This component makes it possible to keep the force or any other connected signal constant over a
certain period of time. This means, the joining unit moves back and (or) forth within a range that has
to be determined, in order to eliminate the deviations from the control size. This process is also
monitored by a overload limit for the force, to avoid destruction of components.

• Control Size
First, select the size to be controlled. You can choose between the force input and the defined
virtual analog inputs under “Program Parameters / Analog Inputs”.

• Control Deviation
Here, you set, how the unit should react to deviations from the control size.

+ A positive control deviation leads to a forward movement of the spindle.

(Example: Control value = 200, actual value = 202 => move forward; actual value = 199 =>
move backward)
- A negative control deviation leads to a forward movement of the spindle.
(Example: Control value = 200, actual value = 202 => move backward; actual value = 199 =>
move forward)

• Control Speed
Enter the speed, by which the control deviation should be moved out.

• Acceleration
Enter the acceleration, by which the control deviation should be moved out.

• Overload
This force monitors the control process.

• Min. Control Position / Max. Control Position

Enter here the range, within which the control may be performed. The entry can be made absolute
or relative. Basis of the relative way is the position at the entry into the control component.

!!! If the permitted positioning range is exceeded, the part is declared NIO. The
program continues the cycle. No reference run is requested.

• Duration
Please enter here the time, for which the control process should be performed. The time starts
with the first reaching of the control value.

• Cycle Stop
Choose this option, if the cycle should be stopped after this function has been executed.

9.9 Program end

With this function you can define the end of your program cycle. Mandatory in program structures
using conditional jumps. This input is not necessary in simple cycles without conditional jumps. The
program returns to the first step and awaits a new Start after the last step has been executed.

9.10 Set outputs

Using Profibus DP you can set or reset 8 freely programmable outputs in the program process.

When program control is implemented via the Profibus, it is possible to define 2 standard inputs and
outputs as freely programmable outputs. Outputs or inputs 1 and 2 are then no longer available in the
Profibus.

The outputs can be set directly or linked with variables.

In the above example, output 2 is set when the value of variable 1 is greater than 200.

9.11 Analog output

It is possible, using this function, to output the value of a variable, the actual position, the actual force
or the actual analog input signal via the two analog outputs.

You must first define the analog output (see Chapter 14.1.8 Analog output)

10 Force - Distance - Development

In order to register and monitor the force – distance – development of the press process, please
proceed as follows:

In the desired motion mode activate the following functions:

10.1 Register measuring values

All measuring values are registered for this motion if this option has been activated.
Under How many you should enter the number of supporting points. The points are evenly dispersed
over the entire distance. An “A“ is entered in the function list to earmark this step. The development for
this particular step is displayed in the graphics window in the form of a sub-window.

10.2 Monitoring
When this function is activated, the force-distance-development is monitored by means of limit curves.
The limit curves consist of a chain of connected straight lines.

Right-click in the graphics to edit the path of the force-distance curve. You can also open the menu
“Graphics“ and select one of the edit functions from the drop-down menu.

If you want to edit an existing support point you must first select the upper or lower limit curve. Then
click with the cursor on the point you want to edit. Press and hold down the left mouse button and pull
the point to the new position.

In a similar way, click on either the upper or lower limit curve if you want to add or delete support
points. Subsequently with the cursor on the point where you want to add a support point, click the left
mouse button. Press and hold down the left mouse button and pull the point to the position where you
want to insert a new point. Existing points in between will be deleted.

12 Data

12.1 Record measurement values

Use this function to record and monitor force measurement values or external signals at any position
required. In addition, the max value, min value or middle value between specific positions can be
determined. Up to a maximum of 4 measurement variables can be saved. It is also possible record a
variable relative to the end of a movement.

Select the variable and the required type of measurement value recording. Then define the required
position or start and end point of the measurement value recording. The measurement values can be
recorded as “absolute” or “relative”. If relative measurement value recording is selected, the reference
measurement is taken as the position the press module is located in when the function is called.

To record a value relative to the end of a movement, please choose “Behind position”. Enter the
distance as a positive relative number. When the end of the next movement is reached, the value will
be recorded relative to the postion of these step. If you choose “Behind position” you have to program
these step always just before the movement you want to gauge the value.

The recorded measurement variables can be monitored using upper and lower limit values. The “OK“
or “NOK“ evaluation occurs independently of any limit curve monitoring. In the “NOK” case, the display
of the measurement variable has an orange background.

30
 Promess Montage- und Prüfsysteme GmbH Berlin

The values are, if the step is monitored, saved together with the relevant limits from the limit curve.

You can transmit the values as follows:

• In an ASCII text file (the values are overwritten after every cycle)
• Via the fieldbus system (Profibus DP, CAN Open, Interbus - S)
• In the program-internal database

12.1.1 Save measurement values as ASCII data

To save the ASCII data, please activate the data export under "Configuration / file settings"

The data are saved in the selected directory under the following name:

The data within the Promess program are saved in Microsoft Access format and can be
edited/evaluated at any time with the Access program.

The values recorded using the function “Measure“ can also be transmitted as measurement variables
via the bus systems (for further details, see bus system manuals)

12.1.3 Save measurement values in database

The requirements for data storage are as follows:

Pentium class PC.

MS Access or DAO 3.5 / 3.6 driver installed (available from Promess).
Data storage facility to hold the database, or
LAN network installed with relevant server.
At least one press module actively connected with the PC.

To store measurement values in the database, you must activate data storage under the Service /
Program parameter in the register card “Data storage”.

32
 Promess Montage- und Prüfsysteme GmbH Berlin

 PROMESS
The data path for the data to be stored can be set using the buttons. This gives you the choice of
saving the data locally or decentrally in a network (LAN). For decentralised data storage, the
connected PC must have the relevant network card. It can also be specified at this point whether each
station (if more than one present) should write to a central file or to an individual database. It must be
noted, however, that the data may be stored and distributed across the local hard drive and than one
must save several files. The database itself offers the opportunity of being used by many stations
simultaneously.

The measurement values are saved with the data, time, actual position, force value or signal value. If
the movement to the selected position is also monitored then the limit values are also written to the
database.

• The data volume to be transmitted or saved can be influenced by using the following switches:

• Save measurement values: The values recorded with the function “Measure“ are saved in
the database

• Save curves: The curves recorded with the function “Monitor“ are saved in the
database

• Always load curve from station: The transmission of the curves from the station
always occurs. The switch “Curves” determines whether
the curve is only displayed graphically or also saved in
the database.

• Only load curve from station in case of error: The curves are only transmitted from the
station if an “NOK” occurs

If the database is activated, the status data of the cycle are always saved.

Leave the window with “OK“

If a database is not present, the following message appears:

Reply with “OK“ to create a database.

12.1.4 Database maintenance

The size of the database is generally limited to 650 MByte. Further on you can limit the size by time
and by number of entrees. When a limit is reached, a new database is produced. The name is of the

connection to the PC can be run at a higher Baud rate than the connection PC – NC-module. Furthermore, data
that is transferred in several sets can be buffered by the link module, which accelerated the transfer, as there are
no waiting periods due to the slower communication with the NC-module.

19.5 Force measuring

Force measuring is done using strain gauges integrated in the press unit. The advantage of this
arrangement is that there are no moving cables and the connection cables can be placed outside of
the operating area.

The nominal values of the force transducers may change, due to the mounting conditions, therefore
each transducer is calibrated after assembly. The calibration result is documented in a test protocol.

Technical data of the force transducer:

Precision class: 0.5 %*

Input voltage: 10 V
Bridge resistance: 352 Ω
Reference temperature: 23 oC
Nominal temperature -20 ...+60 oC
range:
Zero signal: < 3%*
Limit load: 150 %
Burst load: 500 %

* all percentages stated are related to the nominal load

• Pin assignment:

Input voltage + brown

Input voltage - yellow
Data + +green
Data - white
Shield black

19.6 Distance measuring

Distance measured with resolver on motor.

The resolver transmits a sine-formed signal, which is transformed into an incremental signal in the
power amplifier. This signal is in turn output from the power amplifier in the form of a differential signal
i.e. the usual tracks A, B and C and their inverted signals are available.

Alternatively, distance measuring may be done by means of an integrated scale (magnetic or optical).

Resolution with resolver: 2.5 µm, magnetic scale: 5µm, optical scale: < 1µm.

19.9 Transducer calibration

The integrated SG transducer can be calibrated in various ways. You can use a reference
transducer or a spring with known and constant spring characteristics. You can calibrate the
electronics using a calibration resistor connected to the system.

Sequence of operations to calibrate the system:

Note: The hints, concerning the calibration, are kept very general and must be understood as
an aid only. The sequence of operations described may cause damage to the press unit, the
adapters or parts, depending on the offset of the reference point, the type of tool and part
adapters used.

PROMESS accepts no responsibility for damages occurring during calibration.

• Press the Emergency Stop,

• Install the reference transducer in the adapter. Ensure that the nominal load of the reference unit
corresponds to the permissible load of the press unit,
• Release the Emergency Stop,
• Make a reference positioning,
• Select the register card "Sensor input" in the system configuration to verify the permissible load,
• Exit from the menu and select the manual mode of the press unit (F5),
• Position the unit close to the reference transducer,

Verify the zero point of the analog signal. To do this, toggle to the service menu and select the point
Inputs/Outputs.

75
 Promess Montage- und Prüfsysteme GmbH Berlin
UFM NC-Modul V3
 PROMESS
Before applying a load, set the speed to a very low value (e.g. 0.5 mm/s)
Travel in small steps to ca. 80 % of the nominal load. Keep an eye on the force display in the
right half of the window.

Warning! If you reach the overload limit, an Emergency Stop is triggered.

Adjust the amplifier using the potentiometer P1 (amplification) until the display of the press unit is the
same as the display of the reference transducer. Move the unit back.

Warning: Please avoid staying in this position for too long at higher loads.
Relieve the unit during the adjustment procedure.

Repeat this step until you are certain that the system is correctly calibrated.
Move the unit to the reference position.
Disengage the Emergency Stop and remove the reference transducer.

To calibrate the unit on a regular basis, PROMESS recommends that a calibration program be
created.
This program could appear as follows:

19.11 Integration of a holding break into the control

The break must be integrated into the control due to the function. The holding break should only be
used, when heavy tools are needed for the assembly operation. Tools with extreme weight might
cause the ram, to move downwards in case, the axis is not in control-loop (disabled).

Precaution:
The holding break cannot be used to reach higher safety demands, e.g. due to EN954-1, cat. 4. In
these cases, a mechanical safety break with integrated monitoring functions must be used.

When must the break be activated?

The break must hold the ram of the assembly unit in position, when:

• The emergency-circuit is opened (e.g. when the protecting door with safety switches is
opened or the red emergency button is pressed down),
• The drive is disabled or switched off,
• The drive has an internal fault and is disabled (control-loop is off).

PROMESS provides a PROFIBUS-output for these cases:

“DRIVE-DISABLE”

When this output is set, the break can be activated.

Technical data of the break

The break is a permanently-exitated single-disk-break, which is operated with direct current.

Nominal current: 0,75A.

Protecting circuit:

Due toe the inductivity of the break voltage preaks will be occur, when the break is disactivated
(current is switched off). The voltage can reach 1000 V. To avoid these peaks, a protecting circuit
should be used.
PROMESS recommends to use a Varistor R - type 069-X3022.

21 Lubrication advice
Preliminary Remarks

All electro-mechanical presses from PROMESS must be re-lubricated. Over-lubrication should be

avoided, however, damage to the bearings due to overheating caused by over-lubrication is not to be
expected. Over-lubrication as no negative consequences.

Lubrication Points

The following components are lubricated ex works:

• The gliding guides: Lubrication Points A and B,

• The ball screw: Lubrication Point C,
• The thrust bearing: Lubrication Point D.

AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT FOR LUBRICATION POINTS A AND B: Approx. 1 sq cm

The lubrication points A and B consist of two opposite lubrication fittings in the centre of the press
casing.

AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT FOR LUBRICATION POINT C:

Lubrication point C is located behind the seal cap M20*1,5. To re-lubricate the ball screw nut,
complete the following steps:
•
• Remove the cover flap,
• manually move the spindle slowly downwards, until you see the lubrication opening on
the now open drill hole.
• Please screw in the lubrication fitting

22 Software Update

If you update the software in the PC, it will also be necessary to overwrite the firmware in the NC-
module with a newer version. This will be necessary if the PC software displays the following message
after restarting:

!!! The firmware can only be updated using the RS 232 interface (Com 1 - 4).
If the PC and the module are connected via the RS 485, you will also require connection via the RS
232.

Start the program "UFM_UPDATE.EXE" in the installation directory "UFM_NC.EXE". You will see the
following start window.

Create the connection to the NC module by clicking on the "Find" button. Once the program has found
the station, the "UPDATE" button is activated.

!!! Please shut down the UFM NC Module software, or disconnect the station you want to update.

If you use the Ethernetmodule please choose the IP adress of the station you like to update.

Before continuing with "Update", please press the Emergency Stop button to disconnect the motor
from the power component.
