1. MECAL TOOLING SENTRY Tooling Sentry is a quality management system built round electronic Sentry Modules which attach to crimping presses to enforce the requirements of ISO/TS 16949 with respect to maintenance of the consumable parts of crimped terminal application tooling WHAT IS THE TOOLING SENTRY?

Tooling Sentry also maintains database records of the status of each Sentry and records a log of any status changes. These records can be useful for example in demonstrating ISO/TS 16949 compliance and in managing the predictive maintenance of application tooling Alfa S1 P107 1P107 2 P107 3P107 4P107 5 FUBINE PLANT (ITALY)

12. MECAL TOOLING SENTRY SENTRY HUB WEB CONTROL Each Sentry provides its own little web-site. The web site’s index page displays the Sentry’s current status

13. MAIN COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION ADMADM CONNECTING CABLEUSB CONNECTOR MECAL TOOLING SENTRY THE ADM (APPLICOUNTER DATA MODULE) IS AN ELECTRONIC MULTIPLE COUNTER ACTIVATED BY A MAGNET BASED IN THE APPLICATOR RAM. IT FITS TO ANY MECAL APPLICATOR AND CAN REPLACE THE STD MECHANICAL COUNTER WITHOUT MACHINING THE APPLICATOR BODY. IT MONITORS UP TO 1 0 DIFFERENT ITEMS BESIDE CONTROLLING THE WHOLE APPLICATORE LIFE THROUGH A FURTHER NON RESETTABLE COUNTER. FULL APPLICATOR DATA ARE LINKED TO THE ADM. FUNCTIONING IS GUARRANTEED BY A 1 0 YEARS LIFE BATTERY THE ADM CONNECTING CABLE ENSURES THE DATA TRASMISSION FROM THE ADM TO THE PC SERVER (VIA USB CONNECTOR) OR SENTRY MODULE THE USB CONNECTOR ALLOWS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ADM CABLE AND ANY USB PORT

14. SENTRY MODULE2 WAYS CONNECTOR MECAL TOOLING SENTRY MAIN COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION THE SENTRY MODULE IS THE KEY DEVICE TO ACTIVELY MONITOR ANY ADM/APPLICATOR CONNECTED VIA THE ADM CABLE. IT STOPS THE PRESS IN CASE OF OVERLOOKED APPLICATORS, GIVES PRE-WARING MESSAGE TO THE OPERATOR (YELLOW LED BLINKING) AND ANY KIND OF MESSAGE THE MANAGER MIGHT SEND ON THE SCREEN. IN CASE THE E-TAG IS USED, THE SENTRY COUNTS FOR THE E-TAG AND ALLOWS THE INCREMENTAL COUNTING INSIDE THE E-TAG MEMORY THE 2 WAYS CONNECTOR ALLOWS THE SYMULTANEOUS CONNECTION TO THE SENTRY MODULE OF THE ADM (OR E-TAG) AND THE OPERATOR TAG

15. E-TAG and O-TAGE-TAG CONNECTING CABLEO-TAG CONNECTING HOLDER MECAL TOOLING SENTRY MAIN COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION THE E-TAG IS USED WHEN THE ADM CAN’T FIT INTO THE APPLICATOR BODY (GENERALLY IN CASE OF NON MECAL APPLICATORS). IT IS A MEMORY DEVICE AND NEEDS THE SENTRY MODULE INPUT TO INCREMENT THE COUNTING. IT IS GLUED ON THE APPLICATOR BODY THE O-TAG ALLOWS THE TRACEABILITY OF THE OPERATOR WHEN OPERATING THE PRESS FOR PRODUCTION THE E-TAG CONNECTING CABLE ENSURES THE DATA TRASMISSION FROM THE SENTRY MODULE TO THE E-TAG AND FROM THE E-TAG TO THE PC SERVER (VIA USB CONNECTOR) THE O-TAG HOLDER ALLOWS THE DATA TRANSMISSION FROM THE OPERATORE TAG TO THE PC SERVER VIA SENTRY MODULE

16. ADM STORE HUB MECAL TOOLING SENTRY MAIN COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION THE ADM STORE HUB IS A DEVICE WHICH ASSURES THE TRACEABILITY OF ALL ADM CONNECTED AND RELATED DATA WHEN NOT IN SERVICE. IT CAN BE CASCADED UP TO 25 DIFFERENT MODULES FOR A TOTAL OF 2500 APPLICATORS

17. MECAL TOOLING SENTRY WORKING CONFIGURATIONS BASIC (STATIC MONITORING) THE BASIC PACKAGE CONSISTS OF  ADM (AS MANY AS THE APPLICATORS AVAILABLE IN THE PLANT)  ADM CONNECTING CABLE ( 1 X)  USB CONNECTOR ( 1 X)  ADM SOFTWARE (FREE)  PC SERVER (OPTIONAL) THE BASIC PACKAGE ASSURES THAT ANY APPLICATOR PROVIDES AN ON TIME REPORT OF ITS STATUS WHEN CONNECTED TO THE PC SERVER. STROKE COUNTS ARE TESTED AGAINST INDIVIDUAL LIMITS FOR EVERY PERISHABLE PART FOR WHICH A LIMIT HAS BEEN DEFINED. ELAPSED TIME SINCE THE PREVIOUS GENERAL INSPECTION AND SERVICE IS TESTED AGAINST A USER-DEFINED TIME LIMIT. OVERWORKED TOOLS ARE REJECTED AT THE POINT OF USE MEANWHILE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CAN BE FORESEEN THANKS TO THE PRIORITY REPORT LISTS

18. MECAL TOOLING SENTRY WORKING CONFIGURATIONS EXTENDED BASIC (STATIC MONITORING) THE EXTENDED BASIC PACKAGE CONSISTS OF  ADM (AS MANY AS THE APPLICATORS AVAILABLE IN THE PLANT)  ADM CONNECTING CABLE (AS MANY AS THE APPLICATORS AVAILABLE IN THE PLANT)  ADM STORE HUB (AS MANY AS NEEDED)  STORE HUB CONNECTING CABLE (AS MANY AS NEEDED)  USB CONNECTOR ( 1 X)  ADM SOFTWARE (FREE)  PC SERVER (OPTIONAL) THE EXTENDED BASIC PACKAGE ASSURES THAT ALMOST ALL APPLICATORS ARE CONNECTED TO THE PC SERVER, PROVIDING A LIVING REPORT OF THEIR STATUS. STROKE COUNTS ARE TESTED AGAINST INDIVIDUAL LIMITS FOR EVERY PERISHABLE PART FOR WHICH A LIMIT HAS BEEN DEFINED. ELAPSED TIME SINCE THE PREVIOUS GENERAL INSPECTION AND SERVICE IS TESTED AGAINST A USER-DEFINED TIME LIMIT. OVERWORKED TOOLS ARE REJECTED AT THE POINT OF USE MEANWHILE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CAN BE FORESEEN THANKS TO THE PRIORITY REPORT LISTS

19. MECAL TOOLING SENTRY WORKING CONFIGURATIONS INTERMEDIATE (ACTIVE MONITORING) THE INTERMEDIATE PACKAGE CONSISTS OF  SENTRY MODULE (AS MANY AS THE PRESSES AVAILABLE IN THE PLANT)  ADM (AS MANY AS THE APPLICATORS AVAILABLE IN THE PLANT)  ADM CONNECTING CABLE (AS MANY AS THE SENTRY MODULES AVAILABLE IN THE PLANT)  ADM STORE HUB (AS MANY AS NEEDED)  STORE HUB CONNECTING CABLE (AS MANY AS NEEDED)  USB CONNECTOR ( 1 X)  SENTRY HUB SOFTWARE WHICH INCLUDES THE ADM SOFTWARE (FREE)  NET WYRING THE INTERMEDIATE PACKAGE ASSURES THAT ALL APPLICATORS ARE CONNECTED TO THE PC SERVER, PROVIDING A LIVING REPORT OF THEIR STATUS. STROKE COUNTS ARE TESTED AGAINST INDIVIDUAL LIMITS FOR EVERY PERISHABLE PART FOR WHICH A LIMIT HAS BEEN DEFINED. ELAPSED TIME SINCE THE PREVIOUS GENERAL INSPECTION AND SERVICE IS TESTED AGAINST A USER-DEFINED TIME LIMIT. OVERWORKED TOOLS ARE REJECTED AT THE POINT OF USE MEANWHILE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CAN BE FORESEEN THANKS TO THE PRIORITY REPORT LISTS THE SENTRY MODULE DOES NOT ALLOW THE PRESS TO CYCLE IN CASE OF OVERWORKED APPLICATORS. IT GIVES GO AHEAD, PRE WARNING AND WARNING MESSAGES TO THE OPERATOR AND MANAGERS ; ALLOWS THE WEB CONNECTIVITY AND RELATED OPTIONS

20. MECAL TOOLING SENTRY WORKING CONFIGURATIONS CORPORATE (ACTIVE MONITORING) THE CORPORATE PACKAGE OFFERS THE SAME FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERMEDIATE PACKAGE MEANWHILE ASSURES THAT ALL APPLICATORS OF A CORPORATION ON A WORLD WIDE LEVEL ARE CONNECTED TO THE CORPORATE SERVER,
