Method for setting and/or monitoring a press tool, and associated press control device

摘要

A controlling method for parallel controlling of a plurality of controllable tool devices is based on a procedure plan for a press lifting with respect to a press cycle, according to which pre-determined values for tool device parameters are determined and according to which a test lifting for examination of the controlling method will be started. For rationalisation of the method and in order to minimise technical faults as well as press standstill times, the test lifting is simulated as a virtual lifting in a computer device. In addition, to facilitate a long-term monitoring and analysis of changes with respect to the press and/or the tool during the pressing operation, at least one operation parameter may be registered, in order to be compared with earlier registered operation parameters.
