PROJECT:
Retrofit of a production line for welded tubes

SUPPLY DESCRIPTION:
Design and implementation of hardware/software/machine board, sizing of the brushless motor for flying cut replacing the DC motor, commissioning, operator training

TECHNOLOGIES USED:
Tia Portal V16, CPU TF, HMI Unified Comfort Panels, OpcUa, Scalance S615, Sinamics DC master, Sinamics S120

DISTINCTIVE ELEMENTS:
The line consists of 5 machines controlled by 5 independent electrical panels but managed by a single CPU, the line interfaces with the company’s management system via OpcUa (protecting the machine network with a firewall) to receive format parameters for processing and returning production data and alarms

CLIENT BENEFITS:
Simplified line usage through the automation of procedures that were previously manual, implementation of multiple HMIs placed at key points of the line allowing the operator to monitor the current status and intervene in the operation, increased line productivity, increased precision in flying cut
