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.
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.
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.
