The N269 process control monitor provides advanced information and control for refractory, powdered metal and compaction presses. It is far more comprehensive than a typical tonnage monitor. It can improve product quality, reduce scrap and increase profits while protecting against machine overload. Help solve quality control and size variations with the N269. Plus, continuously check job status to forecast completion and measure press performance against established standards (you can set).

The N269 controls the variable fill on the basis of peak load. It uses one or two strain gages to determine the peak load on each press cycle and responds by operating the appropriate relay. Five relays are used: four control the process and the fifth can stop the press. Four setpoints establish the five zones.

Four control setpoints establish a "quality window" that assures acceptable parts are being made. It has five zone counters (high reject, good-decrease fill, good, good-increase fill, low reject), four relay counters (reject, good, decrease fill, increase fill) and up to six alarm counters.
