In today’s manufacturing landscape, precision, traceability, and repeatability aren’t optional, they’re essential. That’s where closed-loop manufacturing comes in. Unlike open-loop systems that rely solely on pre-set commands, closed-loop systems continuously monitor and adjust performance in real time, using feedback from sensors to ensure every part is made to spec.
At Promess, closed-loop control is not an add-on. It’s the foundation of everything we do.
What Is Closed-Loop Manufacturing?
In a closed-loop manufacturing process, data from sensors, like force, position, angle, or torque, is fed back into the system during operation. This real-time feedback is used to adjust the machine’s behavior on the fly, ensuring that the outcome of every operation stays within a defined tolerance window.
The result?
✅ Higher precision
✅ Less scrap
✅ Improved quality assurance
✅ Full traceability and documentation
How Promess Brings Closed-Loop Control to Your Shop Floor
Every Promess system is built to deliver intelligent process control. From our Electric Servo Presses (EMAP) to the TorquePRO and Radial Press, our equipment integrates seamlessly with high-resolution sensors and is powered by our UltraPRO controller—the brain behind real-time data capture and decision-making.
With Promess, you can:
- Monitor force and position during every press cycle
- Adjust in real time if parts deviate from spec
- Collect data for every operation for quality tracking
- Use pass/fail logic to separate good parts from bad
- Build traceability into your manufacturing process from the start
Real-World Impact
Let’s say you’re assembling a part that requires multiple press fits with different force profiles. With a Promess EMAP and UltraPRO controller, the system can detect slight variations in part dimensions, automatically adjust motion and force in response, and ensure every press is consistent cycle after cycle.
If one component doesn’t meet tolerance, the system flags it immediately. That means no bad parts slipping through, no wasteful downstream rework, and no second-guessing your quality.
From Data to Decisions
The best part? All this data doesn’t just stay in the machine, it can be exported to your quality management system or MES for deeper analysis. You get a full digital record of what happened, when it happened, and how it performed.
In a world of smart manufacturing, this kind of data is gold. And Promess makes it easy to collect, understand, and act on it.
Closed-loop manufacturing isn’t just a trend—it’s the future of quality-focused, data-driven production. And with Promess, it’s within reach.
Our systems give you the control, insight, and flexibility you need to build better parts, reduce waste, and deliver consistent quality all backed by real-time data.
