WinSet Debuts New Control for Electromagnetic Presses

WinSet Technologies Corp., East Setauket, NY, has introduced the WS6000 controller, which ships with each new press and also works with all previously shipped presses. The firm manufactures high-velocity electromagnetic presses, designed to generate optimum plate speed, with an adiabatic shear. The result, the firm notes, is ultra-clean sheared edges with minimal burring, and with minimal tool wear—in fact, one customer, General Electric, reports more than 12 million hits without the need to resharpen tooling.line-height:normal'>Among the features of the WS6000 control: the firm can expand the capabilities of the press by adding functionality to the control’s software. The control fits in a 19-in. rack for easy integration, and includes temperature monitoring of the press actuators, used for fan-speed control. 

Core markets for the presses, due to their micron-level accuracy, include battery components, connectors and sensors; surgical instruments and other medical devices; and computing equipment including hard-drive components.
