KUKA Interpress Control |
From cutting blanks to racking fi nished parts, the intelligent software solutions from KUKA Systems give press shop operators
- increased output
- high availability
- improved component quality
With the KS PressMaster and KS PressTec software, the user always has a complete overview of ongoing production. |
| |
The master control software KS PressMaster, with its various modules, provides a comprehensive overview of the entire process at all times. The application software KS PressTec, which is completely integrated into the robot, coordinates and synchronizes the process in every cell. | |

new control concepts in the press shopFor the fi rst time ever, KUKA InterPressControl offers the complete integration of Ethernet-based bus systems into the press shop. This new bus system reduces the multitude of diverse systems currently in use on the market to a single, Ethernetbased system. The scalability allows the complete integration of the safety functions into the bus system.
The new control conpect offers the following advantages:
- Future compatibility
- Reduced costs due to fewer components
- Increased output due to direct communication
- Simple troubleshooting and condition monitoring
- Integrated data exchange with MRP systems
- Shorter installation and start-up times
- Simple system expansion

KS Pressmaster V5Master control station functionality with KS Pressmaster V5
This modular software allows visualization of the entire line. Furthermore, PressMaster also provides functions for component program management, fault analysis and operator guidance. The documentation of the entire line is integrated, enabling short restart times in the event of a problem. The modular structure of the software means that additional modules can be loaded if required. Modules are available for cycle time optimization, for data archiving and for preventive maintenance. All modules can be dynamically loaded in KS PressMaster V5 – also as an update. This makes it easy to respond to increased information requirements in the future. KS PressMaster V5 is a major step towards ensuring future compatibility in the press shop.
- Visualization of the status and position of all units
- Display of the parameters for the components
- Display of output and number of components manufactured
- Central control station for the press line
- Dialog for program number selection
- LAN, WAN and even Internet-capable via cable or WLAN
- Integration into the company network

KS Presstec ModuleThe complete integration of the KS PressTec family into the robot controller guarantees optimal synchronization with the process and ensures simple diagnostics.
The modules of the KS PressTec family are available for the blank cutting and destacker areas, for between the presses, and for racking of the fi nished parts.

KS Presstec module offer:
- Standardized components
- Simple maintenance and diagnosis of the software via KCP
- Setup CD available
- Simple addition of options due to modularization
- One database for motion points and system parameters
- Simple diagnostics with the integrated LogicAnalyzer
- Modular interface
- Diagnosis possible via standard PLC such as Siemens S7

KS Presstec V5The KUKA basic module coordinates and checks the motion sequences of the presses and robots, ensuring collision-free interaction of the systems and optimized output.
The new version V5 further shortens the press loading and unloading times by means of anticipatory synchronization of the robot with the press motions. The integrated LogicAnalyzer saves all the data during operation, thereby enabling comprehensive diagnosis.
- Self-optimizing press start in 4 component cycles
- Preventive control for robot tracking within the press
- Optimized unloading of the press through rapid, accurate control response
- Optimized pickup of the component
- Velocity-independent dropoff of the component
- Anti-collision mechanisms
- Logical and physical component tracking
- Reliable prevention of double loading, die protection
- Reduction of wear on the robot arm through override control
