Peak MonitoringHM-2-SSI-PLM
Through StrokeHM-2-SSI-TSM
Thru-the-Stroke Signature Press Curve

When used with an encoder, the HM-2-SSI provides through stroke monitoring for stamping operations. High and low tracking alarms for each degree of crank angle provide optimum process control. The press curve as established by the press builder is digitized to become alarm set points in the HM-2-SSI module.
