PressMaster™ Pre-Engineered Control System for Mechanical Stamping Presses
The Rockwell Automation PressMaster™ press control system is an SLC controller-based system used for the control and monitoring of mechanical stamping presses. The ideal system for customers who do not have the resources and expertise to build a system and who want to save time by starting up operation as soon as possible, a PressMaster system provides press control, operator interface, and magnetics in a single integrated package.
The PressMaster system is an engineered press control system assembled, wired, programmed, and tested in a NEMA enclosure and is available as either a standard or a custom system. It includes redundant 6556 clutch/brake run buttons, motor controls, and auxiliary controls.
