Manufacturing Machine for Wire Marking Product

Description:

This machine automatically unwinds reels of tubing, performs controlled flattening and automatically assembles a ladder type wire marking product. Automatic sensing of tubing width, thickness, camber and product progression are integrated into the machine's control system. Several different tubing widths can be used. A 19" Touchscreen is provided for operator control.

Hardware:

Allen Bradley PLC 5/15 PLC Controller and IMC-123 three axis servo control modules provide system control. (Two independent axes are programmed.) Two 1771-DB Basic modules are used to communicate with a Keyence Laser Gauge and Dwyer Temperature Controllers. The system also controls the Komatsu 25 ton press for cutting and assembling the tubing.

Operator Interface:

USData Factorylink is used to monitor machine operation and to download recipes for different products. (Including move lengths, temperature setpoints, and specification parameters.) A complete SPC package is implemented and data logging provided.

Engineering Activities:

Control System Design, Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Programming, Documentation and Start-Up. Complete configuration of the FactoryLink system.

System Documentation:

Control Description, Software Documentation, FactoryLink Configuration, Basic Program Listings and complete system drawings.
