Kistler's servo presses contribute to the easy monitoring, control, and optimization of joining and pressing processes in the automotive field and the automotive parts industry by measuring load and displacement. Their high precision and reproducibility also lead to improved quality assurance and process reliability in mass production. Additionally, they require little effort for maintenance and management. Please refer to the "Product Lineup" below for a list of the series, and for the features of each, please see "Detailed Information."

1-component force sensors utilize the piezoelectric effect, which has a high natural frequency, excellent dynamic resolution, and a wide measurement range. Force sensors include load washers that are preloaded and incorporated on-site before use, as well as force links and press force sensors that are shipped from the factory already in a preloaded state. 1-component force sensors measure compression, compression/tension, or shear directions. **Main Applications** Automotive Industry • Safety engineering, monitoring of collision forces • Mechanical shocks to the chassis • Force measurement in balancing machines Material Testing • Impact testing, tensile and compressive strength testing Machine Tool Industry • Monitoring: presses, punching machines, embossing machines, welding machines • Force measurement on longitudinal track surfaces General Machinery Manufacturing • Support force monitoring on machines mounted on dampers • Gripping force (used in combination with hydraulic cylinders) • Insertion and pressure input of parts during fastening Quality Control • Operating force inspection of switches • Monitoring of automatic assembly machines For a list of the series, please refer to the "Lineup" below, and for the features of each, please refer to "Detailed Information."

The 3-component force sensor, ForceLink, incorporates three pairs of quartz piezoelectric elements, assembled between two upper and lower steel plates. Out of the three pairs, two pairs measure shear forces Fx and Fy, while the other pair measures the compressive force Fz. The 90x7C and 90x8C of the 3-component force sensor have their x and y coordinates inverted with respect to the direction of the output connector. The 90x6C4 is a set that includes two each of the 90x7C and 90x8C, totaling four units. The force sensor comes in two types: one that requires preloading before use on-site and another, the ForceLink, that is shipped from the factory already preloaded. Kistler's 3-component force sensor, ForceLink, is used in the automotive field and the automotive parts industry for monitoring, control, and optimization. 【Main Applications】 • Measurement of cutting forces in machining • Measurement of impact forces in crash tests • Measurement of reaction forces in rocket engines • Measurement of vibration forces in aerospace components • Measurement of vibrations and friction forces • Measurement of reaction forces in biomechanics • Measurement of forces acting on axles • Measurement of forces in wind tunnel experiments For a list of the series, please refer to the "Lineup" below, and for the features of each, please see "Detailed Information."

The advantages of force sensors utilizing the piezoelectric effect of crystals are their high natural frequency, excellent dynamic resolution, and wide measurement range. There are load washers that require preloading before use in the field, and force links and press force sensors that are shipped from the factory already preloaded, which are used for various applications.

We introduce an example of how using Kissler's process monitoring monitor maXYmos and press force sensors allows for the measurement of the sliding resistance of syringes, making precise quality control possible by visualizing the load. With maXYmos, it is easy to operate from setting judgment criteria to determining pass or fail using a touch panel.

There is a trend in the automotive semiconductor industry, particularly in power semiconductors, to quantify the internal conditions of molds, which can be considered a black box, during the resin encapsulation process. This trend is driven by the emergence of issues related to moldability due to the miniaturization and thinning of semiconductor packages and the fine pitch. As a countermeasure, there is a growing need to improve productivity and quality through actual measurements of resin filling pressure and temperature within the mold cavity during package molding. In response to this need, Kistler proposes a "visualization solution for the interior of the mold" using high-performance quartz piezoelectric in-mold pressure sensors to measure resin filling pressure and temperature.
