Access Control

Superior Control Over Your Press System Access and Security

Now you can prevent non-authorized personnel from accessing critical press systems and more accurately control who can change settings for various sub-systems. Access control is standard on all current Link touch-screen operator terminals. A different passcode can be set for up to 16 different users (or job classes), each with individually programmable permissions. Prevent unauthorized changes to job parameters that could damage or destroy your valuable machinery.

Link’s Access Control Delivers:

Scalability

Offers 16 different, configurable users or profiles (for example Setup, Operator, Maintenance, etc.).

ROI

Protect your system from unauthorized changes that can damage equipment and stop your operation for repairs.

Granular Control

Each security profile can individually be set to allow or disallow changes or other operations on a subsystem-by-subsystem basis, with more than 50 individual permissions, depending on the system.

Flexibility

When combined with the optional Card Reader/Biometric interface, can work with a variety of badges (usually existing employee badges) or biometric readers, such as fingerprint scanners to eliminate passcodes altogether.

Features
