System Upgrades

M4500 Based System Upgrades

HSM and HSK product lines are electronic control upgrades for two-piece can making machinery designed to reduce scrap, increase quality and increase efficiency. These systems are designed to interface with the existing control system, providing control for the critical portions of the machine. Both the HSM and HSK product lines perform the same machine control functions with the difference being in how the systems are packaged.

The HSM product line consists of door mountable modules with a built-in keypad/display and all necessary I/O to implement the respective control. The HSK product line consists of the required hardware components necessary for installation inside the user's existing control cabinet. The HSM modules provide the lowest cost solution because of the "All In One", door mounted design.

For two-piece can making lines, packages are available for:

The links on this page provide information on our standard electronic control upgrade packages. However, any of these standard products can be easily customized to address additional requirements you may have for your particular machine control.

If you have a control problem not addressed by the products listed or would like additional information on Systems Engineering's capabilities, please contact us.

Cupping Presses

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING:

The following cupping press control systems are high-speed logic gates to provide consistent and accurate control. The systems are not designed as redundant, dual-processor clutch brake safety modules and must not be the only means of the machine clutch control mechanism. Good design practice dictates the use of safety interlocks on any device that starts or stops automatically that can cause personnel injury to operating or maintenance personnel. These systems must be used only in conjunction with industry approved safety interlock contacts, implemented in accordance with ANSI B11.1 safety requirements, otherwise serious personnel injury may result.

Cupping Press
High Speed Logic Module
(with Die Protection)

  • Controls: clutch solenoids, air strip solenoids, die jam/cup jam detection, scrap jam detection, and more…
  • Reduces tooling damage by accurately detecting die jams/cup jams on up to 16-out presses. De-activates the clutch at TDC to prevent additional stroking at detection of die fault on any station.
  • Provides repeatable air strip control to prevent air stripping and blow-out problems.
  • Accurately controls clutch with brake wear compensation algorithm to stop press at TDC regardless of brake response.
  • Can be used on virtually all types of cupping presses.
  • Module provided for door mounting on the existing user's control cabinet door or console.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING:

The following systems are intended as high-speed logic gates to provide consistent and accurate clutch/brake control. They are not designed as redundant, dual-processor clutch/brake safety modules. The system must not be the only means of controlling the machine clutch/brake mechanism. Good design practice dictates the use of safety interlocks on any device that starts or stops automatically that can cause personnel injury to operating or maintenance personnel. These systems must be used only in conjunction with industry approved safety interlock contacts, implemented in accordance with ANSI B11.1 safety requirements, otherwise serious personnel injury may result.
