The Wintriss SmartPAC® 2 press automation control integrates programmable limit switch, die protection, clutch/brake control, tonnage signature analysis, and automated setup of counterbalance and shutheight into one control. The SmartPAC 2 features a large color screen, advanced communications, superior graphics, and the most user-friendly operator interface in the industry. Its built-in Ethernet capability allows you to view the press status and other information from your networked controls over the World Wide Web. No special software is needed. All you need is a remote connection to your in-house network and a web browser. The SmartPAC 2’s Info Center feature allows you to display setup sheets, part drawings, and other information right at the press.

Press operators can use the SmartPAC 2 to send text messages to e-mail, pagers, text-enabled cell phones, etc. When your press needs the attention of maintenance, tooling, or other personnel, the operator simply selects the name of the person to be contacted and sends a message. In addition, the SmartPAC 2 can send status and diagnostic information to the Wintriss Tech Support Group—giving our industry-best support staff even more tools to help you with your application and troubleshooting questions.

Wintriss also offers stand-alone die protection, tonnage monitoring, and programmable limit switch systems.
