Gerhard Lechler founded the company
PROMESS in 1977 as an engineering of-
ce in the eld of technical measurement
in Berlin. Initially, the company distributed
handmade patented measuring bearings
for tool condition monitoring before the
electro-mechanical assembly press (UFM)
with integrated NC control was born at the
end of the 1980s. Right from the begin-
ning it was the strength and the passion

Mechanics
The Line5 universal joining module
is robustly designed thus making it
well suited for heavy duty cycles.
The mechanical system consists of
the following components:
AC servo motor with integrated
absolute encoder, precision gearbox
(except type 1), integrated force
transducer, robust steel enclosure,
screw assembly, non-rotating press
ram
The units use an inline design, i.e.,
the shaft is driven by a motor spindle
in line with the shaft. The excellent
rotational characteristics of this sys-
System Design
The mechanical system is controlled by
a power amplier with an integrated NC
module. The internal RISC processor
coordinates the joining module and can
be easily programmed and operated
using a conventional PC/display.
The controller coordinates the
mechanical motion of the press as well
as monitoring the force and distance.
The force-distance characteristic can
be monitored using envelopes and/
or window methods. The data can be
edited numerically and graphically so
tem provide excellent dynamic response.
However for compact installation spaces,
we recommend joining the modules using
an angled motor spindle.
The integrated absolute encode
ensures precise positioning and
eliminates the need for referencing
at the start of a cycle.
that each individual process can be
easily monitored. The automatic learning
function allows customers to eliminate
the need for custom programming and
simply learn the processing limits using
a good part. Quality assurance data is
stored using the database plugin and
can be re-used at any time.
The system utilizes a digital preamplier,
PROMESS digital module PDM-S. This
transfers the force signal at a resolution
Design basis for all
mechanical parts:
fNominal = 2.5 x CDyn
This guarantees an
extremely long life cycle
(min. 12 million strokes on
average for standard
assembly processes)

of 24-bit almost trouble-free. When the
characteristics are calibrated, the joining
system achieves a system accuracy of
0.3 % from the nal value. The characte-
ristic calibration process is comparable
to a multispan calibration for 10 spans.
The characteristic map is created
automatically using the UFMR Calibrate
plugin. The results are stored in a cali-
bration report and can be printed out.
The PROMESS Digital Module PDM-S
contains an input for connecting a force
transducer (strain gauge) as well as
an encoder input for connecting digital
sensors. The PDM-S is digitally connec-
ted to the UFM control via the PROMESS

Highlights for
demanding
applications:
n Positioning on force slope:
Joining components until a
denite slope (increasing force)
or relatively once a knee-point
has been detected.
n Controller module:
This module allows you to
easily solve processes by
controlling the process
variables and maintaining
constant signals, e.g., spinning
operations with constant force
controlling.
n Measurement data system:
Measurement data can be
captured relative to positions
and force, but also relative to
freely denable reference points
(e.g., relative to achieving a
specic threshold).
n Bending compensation:
Not only customizable for
separate systems, also for
specic processes and
components.

Software
As standard, the UFM Line5 range of
presses come with the UFM V5.xx
programming software. This software
is intuitive to operate and does not
require any PLC expertise. It can be
used to create simple or advanced
joining processes.
The integrated User Administration
feature offers multiple permission levels
and logging for process safety. The
log documents who makes which
changes to the program. Each user
prole can be exported and then
imported to another station. Thus it is
possible to integrate a user administ-
ration system and also to connect the
system to a higher-level permission
system using the .Net interface or eld
bus (e.g., Euchner EKS system).
The transparent and concise program
surface allows users to quickly create
programs. The main window lists all
programming steps together with their
functions. The function screens can
be opened successively to enter the
process values. Thus the force, displa-
cement, time, speed, acceleration and
braking rate can be easily programmed
for each step. Once the required input
screens have been dened, the joining
program is completed and the steps
are processed automatically.
PROMESS UFM Line5 1110 PROMESS UFM Line5
Modern Database Structure
All process data including the curves
can be stored in a database.
All common database formats such as
Oracle, MS SQL and Access are sup-
ported. A separate database is created
for each station. Programs can be
stored and re-used at any time.
Since the program changes can be
traced, this provides 100% traceability
throughout the entire production.
The database can be analyzed using
the DB Viewer with its extensive
querying and ltering options. Graphs
can be superimposed on each other for
comparisons and analyses. Envelopes
can be edited and reloaded into the
Trigger Technology by PROMESS
The triggers are “pulse points”. Up to seven trigger points can
be dened in order to react to processing events during movement.
These reactions can include:
n Smooth speeds
n Set the outputs in real time
n Change target parameters during movement
n Correct process tolerances during movement

URMR XML-Writer
Plugin
PROMESS offers a range of custom
plugins for its powerful UFM V5.xx
programming software. These can be
connected to the software through the
.net interface. This allows the software
to be modied on a case-by-case basis
and optimized for specic applications
without having to update or change the
rmware. The expanded database is
also linked to the plugin.
Excerpt from the plugin library:
n UFMR Calibrate
The UFMR Calibrate plugin was de-
veloped for calibrating force
transducers in the joining modules.
The integrated range calibration of
the PROMESS PDM-S digital preamp
supports 2-point calibration as well as
characteristic diagram calibration.
Calibration can be performed most
simply using the PROMESS calibra-
tion set that contains a reference force
transducer and the KT-V5 evaluation
unit with display.
The KT-V5 is connected to the USB
port of the computer and operated
using the UFM in order to read in the
values of the reference force. The
characteristics of the reference force
transducer are automatically detected
by the integrated TED5 and written to a
calibration log that can be exported in
Excel format.
However, the calibration can also be
performed using external calibration
equipment. In this case, the base point
values of the reference transducer are
entered manually.
n UFMR Barcode
The UFMR Barcode plugin can be used
to change the program within the UFM
software using a barcode scanner. While
the program runs, the barcode scanner
can be used, for instance, to transfer a
Part ID using the UFM dialog function.
n UFMR QDE
The UFMR QDE plugin
allows quality assurance
data to be exported to the QS-STAT
statistics software from Q-DAS
and supports process monitoring
and optimization. Measurement,
auxiliary and description data can
be exported from each joining
program as characteristic data.
n UFMR IPM
The UFMR IPM plugin
makes it possible to
export process and measurement data
to the IPM process data management
from CSP and thus supports process
monitoring and optimization.
Calibration plugin
n URMR XML-Writer
PROMESS developed the XML
Writer plugin for exporting process,
measurement and graph data as well
as other variables. The XML les can
be subjected to further processing and
analyses.
