Digital & Hydraulic Bearer Loading Modules

Many older presses do not come equipped with gauges for monitoring die pressure. Our precision digital load cells can be adapted to any press and portable enough to move from station to station.

Digital Electronic Pressure Monitor
Electronic pressure transducers used in Midway’s Digital Electronic Pressure Monitor offer high accuracy pressure readings through digital readouts. Since the transducers rest on the pressure bar (assist roll) located under the pressure screws, the pressure reading is the actual psi being applied to the bearer surfaces of the die. Running tooling at the lowest cutting pressure required to cut reduces stress on the die, gears and anvil, thus extending die life in increasing profitability.

Also, the readouts show real-time pressure while the tool is running. This allows the operator to monitor the tool while the press is running. At the end of the run, by recording the final pressure used, the next time the job is set up, the operator knows exactly where to start again. This reduces the next set up and increases press efficiency and lowering costs.

Each unit is totally portable and may be moved from press to press, station to station. Because the monitor uses a universal design and is not press specific, the Midway monitor offers great flexibility. The monitor can be used with future equipment purchases as older equipment may be retired.

Hydraulic Pressure Gauges
For environments that are extremely dirty or an application that requires a more permanent set up, our hydraulic pressure monitors fill the bill. Since the hydraulic system requires an entire gauge set and cross bar, each set is manufactured to existing press specifications. Again, our hydraulic gauges apply pressure directly over the bearers of the tool to insure proper location of the load.
