With precise accuracy to .00004 inches (1\/1000mm), Micron die protection monitors separation gaps between the upper and lower dies. By monitoring these subtle deviations in stripper position or die height, Micron detects misfeeds, pulled slugs, double hits or other abnormal conditions that cost you time and money. The Micron system can be applied to any forming operation with speeds up to 2500 machine cycles per minute. No external timing sensors or machine calibration is required.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/helminstrument.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/micron3_02norm.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text=&#8221;micron3_02norm&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Easy to use, limits are set automatically&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#FF0000&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]The Micron die protection system features a unique adaptive learn and control circuit for establishing the proper displacement alarm setpoints. Once the machine is at production speed, the upper and lower limits are automatically adjusted based on your forming process. These limits are set as close as possible without causing nuisance, no alarm shutdowns. Built-in control relays activate machine stop circuits if an off-tolerance condition occurs.
