Is your forging press really performing at its best?
Within a forging press, countless details will determine the success of the entire process. A slightly uneven layer of release agent, minor temperature shifts, or misaligned components may go unnoticed during production, yet can lead to increased tool wear, higher scrap rates, or inconsistent part quality.
That’s why we created a new solution to ensure complete visibility into this particular process. With our FP-Inspector, you can track, document and analyze every step in real-time: from the first strike of the press to the final component. Instead of waiting for problems to appear, you gain the ability to detect deviations immediately and take action before they impact production.
The FP-Inspector puts an end to hidden inconsistencies
The system combines high-resolution visual and infrared cameras to monitor every critical detail of your press operations. Visual cameras capture the progression of each part through the press, revealing positional shifts and process patterns, while thermal imaging highlights subtle temperature differences and variations in the release agent layer. All collected information is processed and synchronized by the FP-Inspector software, generating detailed, cycle-specific datasets. The result is a comprehensive view of your production, providing the clarity needed to refine processes, improve efficiency, and enhance performance.
These insights form the foundation for smarter decision-making. By understanding process behavior in depth, you achieve consistent component quality, reduce tool wear, minimize scrap and rework, and strengthen confidence in every forging cycle, whether working with steel or aluminum.
Beyond monitoring, the FP-Inspector also lays the groundwork for advanced applications, thanks to machine learning and AI-driven process optimization. This is key to generate predictive reports for smart and future-ready operations.
Flexible System Configuration
To meet different application requirements, we offer a range of infrared and visual camera series as supported options within the FP-Inspector system. Our experts will gladly advise you on the most suitable configuration, ensuring the perfect balance of performance, resolution, and investment for your specific production environment.
To ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments, FP-Inspector cameras are paired with robust housing. Stainless-steel construction, cooling, and air purge protect against extreme temperatures, dust, and general stress, ensuring continuous monitoring even in the toughest conditions.
