Compensation for sheet thickness variation

With the adaptive stroke calibration function and a special tool, you can determine the thickness of the sheet to be processed.

Example without adaptive stroke calibration: embossing too deep through sheet-thickness tolerance.
Embossing too deep

With the adaptive stroke calibration function, your machine can measure the true thickness of the sheets being processed and adjust the lower point of the ram accordingly.

Results can be easily reproduced on every other machine with adaptive stroke calibration.

  • Every part meets quality requirements with virtually no rejects.
  • Manual intervention is unnecessary because the machine measures the sheet thickness.

Variations in sheet thickness are automatically compensated for. The tool detects the sheet surface and the ram control recognizes the ram position. The ram stroke is calibrated with an accuracy of 0.0012 in.
