Alignment and Measurement Systems 

The use of reference clamping systems for the compacting of metal and ceramic powders leads to a considerable 

increase in productivity and compaction quality. At the same time the demands on tool, press and adapter 

accuracy and accuracy of alignment and referencing of the reference clamping systems to each other is rapidly 

increasing. 

The alignment and measurement systems of ProGrit are needed to reach the level of this increased accuracy 

requirements and guarantee an entry free of trouble into the compaction technology with reference clamping 

systems. 

The systems are supporting measurement, alignment and analysis tasks for the fields of 

- Press and die sets 

- Compaction process 

- Reference clamping system 

- Compaction tools 

- Drives and positioning of compaction tools for multi axial compaction (closed, opened and splitted die) 

in combination with 

- Near net shape compaction technologies 

- Burr less compaction of high precision green parts 

- Multi axial compaction with cross hole, closed, open and splitted die 

- Co axial compaction with splitted punch 

- Compaction of multi cavities

The measurement systems are characterized by a mobile hardware with easy-to-use and modularly expandable 

software components and by inexpensive high-precision measurement devices. 

The two measurement systems APC-4i and TPS-3i represent the core functions of the ProGrit measurement 

technology. 


APC 4i measures the geometry of the chuck on the press plates in reference to the guides of the press. The 

geometry can be corrected immediately after the measurement in the press or die set by using the ProGrit geometry 

correction system. 

TPS-3i measures the position of the reference clamping systems to the defined reference point - usually the die 

chuck. The position of the reference clamping system is moved and fixed by means of the ProGrit displacement 

system in the optimum position. 

APC-4i and TPS-3i guarantee an optimal aligned production system.

Production System 

The alignment, measurement and analysis systems work on 

the base of high precision electronic distance measuring 

systems. The measuring signals are amplified by special 

electronics. The software of the mobile measurement 

module calculates, analyses, displays and digitally logs all 

the measurement data. The operation of the mobile measurement 

module is done via a touch screen. 

Force and temperature can be measured optionally and 

combined with the distance measurement. This option is 

useful for the analysis of compaction processes and life 

cycle management of presses and die sets. 

For presses and die sets with a difficult access a small LCD display is optional 

available for the TPS-3i system. 


The measurement systems can be expanded modularly around the mobile measurement module MMCompact, 

MRTablet plus MMUSB with the appropriate software and measurement device. 

Measurement systems support press, die set and reference clamping systems of Dorst, Erowa, Fette, 

Kobayashi, Komage, Lauffer, Osterwalder, Proment, Precision Compacting, ProGrit, Sacmi, System 3R° 

The alignment and measurement systems are available for all current on the market known clamping systems. 

Alignment, measurement and analysis technologies can also be ordered on a rental service base.

APC-4i Adapter Press Calibration 

System 

Dynamic measurement of press and die set geometry 

The APC-4i is a high precision measurement system for inspection, measurement and calibration of presses and 

die sets. 

Measurement Setup 

Measurement Tools 

Geometry 

Press / Die Set 

Presses and die sets have three or more carrier plates which are fixed to the press or the die set and run the 

reference clamping systems with the compaction tools in vertical direction. The quality of the compacted parts 

depends on the accuracy and rigidity of the guides and on the angular accuracy and rigidity of the support 

plates of the press and the die set. 

The APC-4i measurement system measures the parallelism (a,b,c) or the angular positions () of the carrier 

plates, the compaction tools and the reference clamping systems during the vertical movement. Guidance accuracy 

and error in the angular position of the carrier plates are detected, analysed and digitally logged. On the 

basis of these measurements the geometry of the press and the die set will be corrected according to the 

calculated correction values from the software and the ProGrit geometry correction technology. 

Displacements due to vertical and horizontal forces can be measured and the static rigidity of press and die set 

can be calculated. 

The measurement tools are mainly based on cylindrical measurement pins and a hollow cylindrical measurement 

fixture, which carries the electronic probes. Depending on the placement of the measurement pin and the 

measuring holder different parts of the press or the die set can be measured and analysed. 

Highest precision combined with simple user interface of the APC-4i software allow a quick and optimized 

measurement of the accurate and static rigidity of press and die set.

Measurement Set Up and Measurement System APC-4i for Measuring 

under Compaction Force 

The shown measurement setup allows the measurement of the radial 

rigidity of the system of press, die set and reference clamping system 

under the action of a compaction force. The measurement is done in 

the radial directions X and Y with the help of four probes and a round 

measurement pin (e.g. P-002 684). 

Under the influence of the compaction force the round elastomer 

spring element is deformed and the radial movement of the 

measurement pin is measured. 

The measured deflections provide information about the rigidity of

ZRM Reference Measuring System 

Referencing of Z0 levels of reference clamping systems for presses 

and die sets 

The use of reference clamping systems in the compaction process enables 

the consistent work with Z0 reference levels from tool design over the 

tool shop up to the press. 

The Z0 level defines in the Z direction the reference level for the clamping 

of the tools in the chuck. If the Z0-levels in the press are referenced 

to each other, the filling, compacting and ejecting positions can be exactly 

approached without any presetting in account of the tool dimension by 

the press control. 

The ZRM measurement system references via the precisely known punch 

length the Z0 levels of the reference clamping system in the accuracy of 

1/10 microns to each other. 

Adaptation to new compaction tools are only done over transmission of 

current punch lengths and the dunk and cut data. 

The transmission of the tool and compaction data can be done manually 

and automatically via identification system of the compaction tools (RFID, 

ident code, ...). The control of the press calculates out of the tool data and 

the reference data of the Z0 levels the new target values for filling, 

compacting and ejecting. The control of the compaction orders, the management 

of the geometry, the set up and process data can be done via a 

process control system (COMPACTION ProGrit) or a database. Compensation 

on the basis of tool rigidity (compression) and powder data can be 

calculated and hand over to the press control on.

PAS-3i Palletization Alignment System 

Palletizing and positioning of compaction tools - punch and die 

The PAS-3i system is used for the high precision alignment of punches and dies on pallets of reference clamping 

systems. 

Modern production concepts manufacture punches and dies directly on pallets of reference clamping systems. 

Often it is necessary to align punches and dies on pallets. This is the case when existing unpalletized tools 

(existing tools) should be placed first time on pallets, or when newly produced tools have to be corrected 

regarding the position to the pallet. Another important application arises from the necessary positioning of wire 

cutted punches, which cannot be manufactured on pallets in the wire cut process. 

The PAS-3i system moves according to the position deviations X, Y and C the compaction tool to the target 

position (X=Y=C=0). The position deviations are measured in relation to the reference clamping system on a 

coordinate measurement machine. Deviations in the die position in relation to the reference clamping system 

will be calculated in the target position of the punch. 

Adapted measurement and movement fixtures allow rapid and precise 

translational and rotational displacement in the range of 1/10 micron 

and 1 arc second. The alignment and fixing process can be reduced to a 

few minutes. 

Highest precision combined with a very easy user interface allow a 

quick and best possible alignment of punches and dies on pallets of 

reference clamping systems. 

The PAS 3i supports all on the market available reference clamping 

systems. 


User friendly software and graphical alignment navigation leads 

to highest positioning accuracy 


- Graphical positioning navigation 


- Setting of accuracy limits 

Intelligent measurement and displacement concept 

- Positions of compaction tools can be aligned and fixed with the help of the displacement fixtures 

within 1/10 micron and 1 arc second 

- Displacements or deflections when tightening the compaction tools on the pallets are displayed and can be 

corrected immediately 

- Positional deviation of the die can be calculated into the target position of the punch 


- Automatic digital logging of the initial position and the final position of 

the compaction tools 

- Date stamp 

- Protocol storage by USB interface in a central data pool 

- Traceability of positioning results 

Benefit 

- Positioning and correction of compaction tools (punch and die) on pallets of reference clamping systems 

- Positioning and measuring accuracy in the resolution of 1/10 micron and 1 arc second possible 

- Possibility of unpalletized manufacturing of compaction tools. Tool manufacturers must not be equipped with 

reference clamping systems. 

- Possibility of wire cut manufacturing of punch heads. The punch head can be aligned on pallets for further 

processing and use. 

- Reduction of positioning time to a few minutes 

- Further use of existing tools by palletizing these tools on pallets of reference clamping systems 

Following reference clamping systems are supported: 

- Erowa, ProGrit, System 3R°

TCQ Tooling Calibration Quality 

System 

Full automated qualification, measurement and calibration of compaction 

tools – punch, die and core rod 

The TCQ system is used for the qualification and the 

calibration of compaction tools in the tool shop or the press 

department before the compaction process. 

TCQ automatically measures and qualifies the quality of the 

fitting between punch and die, the punch lengths and pressrelevant 

data such as compaction heights. 

The measurement of the fitting between upper and lower 

punch to the die delivers qualitative statements about 

- Fitting accuracy / clearance between punch and die 

- Actual wear situation in the system punch and die 

The measurement and storage of the relevant data for the 

compaction process 

- Height of die 

- Cut off heights of top and bottom punch 

- Length and injection position for top punch 

- Length and ejection position for bottom punch 

- Length core rod 

are used for quick and reliable setup of the press. 

The measurement and analysis of all the data is done 

automatically by the control and the measurement software. 

These data can optionally be linked to the compaction tools by an identification system (RFID, ...) and stored in 

a database.

MAS-xi Measurement System for 

Multi Axial Compaction 

Measurement and referencing of multi axial compaction tools for closed, 

opened and splitted die 

Multi axial presses have axes which are perpendicular to the main compaction 

axis. With this set up geometries with holes and undercuts, 

transverse to the main compaction axis, can be produced. 

The MAS-xi system is used on multi axial presses which are equipped with 

a reference clamping system. These reference clamping systems clamp 

and position the compaction tools within +/- 1 micron. The chucks are 

positioned to each other within 1 micron and build up the vertical main 

compaction axis through their centers. 

Splitted dies or compaction processes with cross punches (opened or closed 

die) require the positioning of the cross punch or the die segments 

within a precision of +/- 1 micron to the vertical main compaction axis. 

This high positional accuracy relative to the main compaction axis is 

needed for injection of the cross punches in the die or of positioning of 

the die segments, so that together with the top and bottom punch the 

cavity will be formed in a perfect and highly precise way. 

The MAS-xi measurement system is used for the high precision positioning 

and set up of cross punches and die segments. With this set up green parts 

can be compacted free of burr or burr less in a high quality and compaction 

tool breakage can be avoided. 

The following multi axial compaction tool concepts are supported by the MAS–xi measurement system: 

Cross Hole 

Closed Die 

Cross Compaction 

Opened Die 

Splitted Die 

One or two cross 

punches enter the 

die cavity and form 

a cross hole. 

The cross punches 

enter the die cavity 

through one or 

more cross holes in 

the die. 

In one level of the 

die, the whole 

cavity is formed by 

cross punches. 

The whole die is 

formed by multiple 

die segments, which 

are positioned 

radially. 


For measurement and referencing of cross punches or die segments there are two different possibilities existing. 

On the one hand, the referencing of the probe can be done directly to a non moving and precise part of 

the die (only for closed and opened die possible). On the other hand, the referencing of the probe can be done 

by using an additional reference element, which is either clamped into the bottom punch chuck or the die 

chuck.

Positioning of mechanical stops 

Mechanical stops which are not equipped with their own length measurement 

or a nonius must be adjusted by the help of a second measurement 

system. This measurement system measures the current 

actual position of the mechanical stop and displays the deviation 

from the target position. 

The mechanical stop can be adjusted with the help of this measuring 

system within a short time. 

The picture on the right shows an example of such a measurement 

device.
