Adaptive stroke calibration
Compensating for sheet thickness tolerances

Compare for yourself: Without (left) and with adaptive stroke calibration (right = perfect embossing)

This situation will be familiar to everyone who is involved in sheet metal processing: The thickness of sheets varies, even within a single batch. This leads to varying part quality, since these variations in thickness interfere with forming and embossing operations.

Adaptive stroke calibration makes this particular problem a thing of the past! Sheet thickness tolerances are automatically compensated. This works as follows: the calibration tool senses the sheet surface, the ram control measures the position of the ram. The ram stroke is then calibrated to an accuracy of 0.03 mm.

• The machining result determined can then be reproduced, even on other machines that have adaptive stroke calibration.
• Every part will then be of the required quality, and there will hardly be any rejects.
• Manual adjustments will no longer be necessary, since the machine measures the sheet thickness automatically.

• Embossing tools – constant embossing depth
• MultiShear – consistently good finishes
• MultiBend – angles that always fit
