Wireless Pressure-Monitoring
System for Gas Springs
• Streamlined construction and assembly
Fibro, Inc. Booth B1015
• Optimized custom maintenance and reduction of maintenance and repair costs www.fibroinc.com
Fibro will feature its newly developed wireless pres- sure-monitoring system (WPM) for real-time process control and monitoring of gas springs for conditions in which cable or tube-reliant systems reach their tech- nical boundaries or are sim- ply uneconomical.
Heavy-Duty Pneumatic Die Lifters
The WPM system monitors the temperature and pressure in gas springs that are internal to the dies. Its coordinator and sen- sors constantly send wireless data to the customer-designated Windows-based system. Custom software analyzes the data, locates the appropriate gas spring and initializes the necessary process control and preemptive maintenance steps.

inline movement. Each
features extra-large precision-ground bearings and high-quality o-ring seals. Using the die lifters, it takes only 40 lb. of force to move a 2000-lb. die.
Advantages:
• Around-the-clock monitoring and documentation
• Alert to defects, avoiding production of faulty parts
• Preemptive erosion detection and targeted troubleshooting • Prevention of downtime and secondary failures
• Minimization of leakage points
Air Glide lifters use standard shop air pressure and install eas- ily in standard ANSI T-slots. Because they have no internal air bags or bladders to corrode and crack, Air Glide rollers resist the harsh chemicals and lubricants used in metal stamping. The lifters are avail- able from stock in 5⁄8-, 3⁄4- and 1-in. sizes in lengths to 72 in.
