PressCam 8 Junior
Overview

The PressCam 8 Junior is a
resolver-based press automation controller that
incorporates a programmable cam limit switch, timed-based
brake monitor, servo feed control, four counters, and a
die protection system The PressCam 8 Junior is controlled
by a 16-bit computer that constantly checks the resolver
for accuracy.
The PressCam 8 Junior has a
keypad, menu, cursor buttons (for easy navigation and
operation), and a four line (20 characters each line) vacuum
fluorescent display for easy viewing
purposes.
A “RUN/PROG” key
switch is also provided where, while in the “RUN” mode, you are
not able to alter any parameter or job change. The “RUN” mode
only allows the user to clear counters and reset die sensor
faults. In the PROG mode, the Die Faults do not open up the
fault relays allowing die setups. All other faults will cause
the fault relays to open. If the password feature is enabled,
you must first enter in the three digit password in order to
pass into the PROG mode to allow parameter
changes.
Industrial
Grade Brushless Resolver Transducer
The heavy duty brushless resolver transducer replaces the
current mechanical rotary cam switch. This unit was designed
for hostile industrial environments such as press punch
mechanical shock and vibration, extreme temperature and
humidity, oil, coolant, and lubrication mists. The resolver
transducer features excellent repeatability and gives absolute
shaft position feedback. High speed operation along with long
transducer cable (runs up to 600 feet/183m) give the resolver a
wide application ranges. The resolver is a passive device which
contains no sensitive electronics and has superb noise
immunity.

The resolver mounts easily to an end
of a crankshaft and can rotate clockwise or
counter-clockwise. Simple connector ended transducer
cabling is supplied to connect the resolver to the
PressCam 8 Junior controller console. The PressCam 8
Junior’s microprocessor-based control constantly monitors
the resolver position and displays both the angular
position of the shaft and speed of the machine
(tachometer).
