The Opening Force often referred to as Pop and Tear is measured, plotted and charted. The plotting of Opening Force versus Opening Angle gives a detailed picture of the Opening Performance Characteristic of the end. This is called the Opening Signature of the end.
Wear and tear on a conversion press and its tooling affect the quality of the end produced and consequently are reflected in the end’s opening signature. By monitoring various parameters over time and relating the press performance to the change in the end’s opening signature, the manufacturing process can be monitored. This trend monitoring capability is extremely beneficial to the process engineer in predicting potential out of spec score residuals. By sampling ends from the production line, the Opening Force Gauge can monitor the tooling wear and provide significant savings in both labour and reduced scrap.
