Appendix A SmartPAC Preventive
Maintenance (PM) Monitor (Optional)
This appendix explains how to initialize, set up, and use the features of the SmartPAC Preventive
Maintenance (PM) Monitor. This appendix serves as an add-on to the chapters in this manual.
References will be made to certain sections. Complete all the steps in each of those sections unless
otherwise noted.
NOTICE
UPGRADING FIRMWARE
If you have a SmartPAC PRO system with an AutoSetPAC, you may need to upgrade the
AutoSetPAC’s firmware to accept the PM Monitor functionality. To determine and obtain the correct
AutoSetPAC firmware, Contact Wintriss Tech. Support.
About SmartPAC PM Monitor
The SmartPAC PM Monitor is an option which allows the maintenance department to manage its time
more effectively. The PM Monitor tracks up to 64 items on the press based on specific usage, rather
than merely signaling when a period of time has passed. Consequently, the entire stamping process is
monitored automatically, and maintenance is alerted only when equipment requires attention.
Comparison with Traditional Preventive Maintenance
Equipment used on or around the press needs to be checked at regular intervals, such as daily, weekly,
or every specified number of strokes. Traditional preventive maintenance programs are based upon
elapsed time and would be adequate if your presses were used in the same way all the time. However,
with just-in-time manufacturing, shorter job runs, and more tool changes, presses and auxiliary
equipment must frequently change the way that they operate. Each change results in varying degrees
of wear and tear on the machinery. As a result, traditional PM programs are not the most effective
way to handle these kinds of variations.
Here is an example. A traditional PM program may alert maintenance to inspect a press’s braking
system every three months. During that time, the press is idle or running a continuous coil-fed job, and
the brake experiences minimal wear. As a result, any time spent checking the brake would be wasted.
On the other hand, if the press were running a hand-fed job in Single-stroke mode, the many starts
and stops of the machine would cause greater-than-normal brake wear, and three months would be
too long to wait between inspections.
How the PM Monitor Works
In the previous example, the SmartPAC PRO PM monitor would keep track of machine stops and
could be set to signal a PM alert for the braking system after 50,000 machine stops, for example. If
the press is idle or running coil fed jobs, the time between alerts will be long. If the press is used for
hand-fed jobs, the time between alerts will be shorter.
Up to 64 items can be set up in the PM Monitor’s schedule.
