press has a foot pedal that when you press it the ram goes down and terminates at the maximum pressure you have pre-set.I can pre-set pressure in larger value so to not stop by pressure limit.
If put a linear scale in the side of ram can pid positioning closed loop
reading the glass scale and driving the foot pedal command to setpoint distance.
robot controller must read the distance from scale or from mcu that reads the scale
and follow the path.
I have found somewhere the kinematic mathematic types of sheet rotation due to ram movement.
