<p>A method and apparatus for controlling the stroke of a press in which the movements of two portions of a movable platen of the press are continuously sensed during a stroke. A signal is generated whose magnitude at any time during a stroke is dependent on the sum of the distances moved by the two portions of the movable platen during the stroke. The signal is compared with a preselected value which is selected in accordance with the length of the stroke required and the stroke is terminated when the magnitude of the signal equals the preselected value.</p> |
