3.2 OPC UA for Metal Forming terms

For the sake of clarity, the number of one workpiece will be referred to in the following. Nevertheless, it is also possible to produce a set of parts which consists of more than one workpiece.

3.2.1 3.2.1

3.2.2 dead centre

the point where the upper tool is during its movement:

3.2.3 job order

unit of scheduled work that is dispatched for execution (IEC 62264-3:2016(en))

3.2.4 run

EXAMPLE 2 The machine needs several cycles, e.g. five strokes on a spindle press, to complete the forming process on the machine for one workpiece - the run­ consists of five repetitive cycles (monitored process values of each cycle can be different).

3.2.5 tooling stage

representation of a coherent local tooling unit within one machine

3.2.6 tool

combination of upper tool and lower tool

3.2.7 function

operation of a machine or a part of a machine which is specific or required for the intended machine task

3.2.8 cycle

complete movement of the slide and other devices of the machine used for production (e.g. cushions, workpiece ejectors) including feeding and removal of the material or workpiece
