Force Control
Force-controlled hydraulic axes eliminate inaccuracy and timing issues associated with pneumatic and air over hydraulic systems.
Advantages
- Provides superior control while processing products by accurately measuring the applied force
- Position feedback without a secondary air cylinder ensures unmatched accuracy by precisely determining the tool position
- Closed-loop moves ensure smooth operation, extending the mechanical life of the equipment
- Eliminates the unpredictability of pneumatic systems caused by fluctuating air pressure and temperature
- Force settings adjust in real-time to accommodate different products
- Intuitive HMI allows users to adjust force settings
Top Pressrolls/Side Feedrolls
- Force-controlled press/feedrolls enhance cant control while feeding through the machine, boosting throughput and lumber quality while reducing downtime and maintenance.
Debarker Feed Rolls
- Force-controlled debarker feed rolls improve log control, enhancing results and reducing downtime. Smooth operation extends mechanical life and minimizes maintenance.
Planer Tensioning
- Force-controlled planer tensioning maximizes production and product quality. Precise force application ensures superior board control, improving lumber quality and planer efficiency.
Spiked Rolls
- Force-controlled spike rolls offer superior accuracy and control, increasing recovery and reducing maintenance through smooth operation. Applications include Log Turners, Side Spike Rolls, Spiked Pressrolls.
