Archived Software-Extreme Machine: Compact Precision Robotics
What kind of extreme? According to Control Engineering Subscribers , the robotic packaging machine is small, nimble, while easy to adapt and use to ensure safety When the, Rockwell Automation building, asked the customer wanted to emphasize the creativity of the machine Control Engineering, Control Engineering Europe And Design News Reader is the ultimate " extreme machine choose "One eight contests (four from North America, four from Europe two) in October, three in all three publications in question is 2006 years, readers were asked to vote Winner of the North American Brewerton, NY Schneider is packing What the ultimate "What is the ultimate machine" in the evaluation of candidates for this year's competition, the utility of the readers, to find a combination of precision, and practicality were asked Schneider Packaging's entry when the factory floor and obviously also praised the machine account for a limited amount of real estate Automated controls are sophisticated machinery is required to provide precise movements to achieve a given task The above features, in many cases, it means the big machine that takes a lot of room In addition, through the robot manufacturer, many operators, the safety of routine tasks for the supply of pharmaceutical manufacturers and with the role of traditional labels such as pendants and look forward to interacting with their robots What is the type of the enclosure Schneider Packaging Equipment, takes a different approach This is during the configuration of the machine, simplifying the process provides improved productivity In this application, the company will end k "robot system for dealing with the Cup" created from a measly 300 a premium coffee roaster square feet of occupied A sealed plastic cups of coffee just go to one end of the pallet where there were other cases and labels Packaging materials from the supply side, to remove the pallet is completed only human, type the security fence Even that level of intervention is limited, it has also been conducted around the pallet on the conveyor, in this case, customers liked the approach of the manual Operator box, case, and this stack is empty, stop the line, enter the enclosure, the supply of pharmaceutical manufacturers from outside the enclosure is time consuming and expensive ¶ - The Cup is coming on the conveyor 280 to one cup per minute Timing of the two side by side the two screws and one appropriate to count the number of cartons, the food in the hopper Super Rockwell MPL, the 3000 motor and operates in the timing of the servo screw When you open the box of the machine, when, in the hopper is full, a cardboard box, then dump the cup Order to save space, Schneider is very different - 3000 was developed to run by the Rotary case packing machine Air cylinder, Rockwell Automation ControLogix the sides and bottom of the box was controlled by a series of processors, K cup to resolve it, then push to fit the correct number This complex "cup 'must consider the harmonic response" to avoid throwing the box Suteppusetoringu The hot-melt glue to seal the box of the machine will be presented to a laser date coder and label applicator If a combination of cardboard robots and conveyors to move the packer palletizer very short If the carton is stored in the appropriate pattern If the machine, which is a Fanuc R2000 and if you can put it into the robot to lift a layer of milk cartons and open spaces of the repeated calls for multiple layers in the case of step instructions The other two hot-glue application, can you give me the machine after you can seal If you choose to open the same robot can be presented to the labeler Signs of the entire assembly is to present the project to allow a safety enclosure out of service, provides without having to shut down the line This is a small notch in the fence through the Guard to perform its task Cases, one or more cases of this type you want to label one side of the automated process is required by the labeler In this situation, the signs of the robot is then presented to the side If, as required by the label, the case will be presented prior to placement on the pallet in the correct position again Pitosukuwaiazu, vice president of Schneider Packaging Equipment, "One of the biggest tourist attractions, according to this system is its simplicity All 'canned' teach pendant and the robot comes to get through the program interface Most robot integrator, operator [More] pendant through dialogue with the robot Most companies do not want to double as a robot programmer operator, we will lock the pendant Operator to interact using the touch screen interface on the robot machine All ControLogix run the show will be integrated with the controller" Servant and a small space, so providing the robotic system was quite a challenge and recognize the many features relaxed Not only that, but was boxed Kesupakka or exit the line packaging systems Also, the construction of a roundabout in front of the company is not boxed This new functionality when needed, the invention features a set of proven, modular re-design, and meet the challenges, all of the following five months of delivery "This is a very complex machine," the Squires "However, in order for our courses, par How the customers of these units is, in many cases, we have the field 'What to do? 'We often answer,' This is the first one ' " "Ekusutorimumashin" food machinery manufacturer in Europe the winner of the contest was Sutokutaunzento b Vs OSS to be in the Netherlands QX in co-operation that generates a complete sequence of sausage meat as a raw material manufacturer and take 80 percent of families had smoked sausage extruding the saving and ready for shipment So, how "extreme" about the Manufacturer What is sausage? For one thing, what size is huge: 10 meters (33 feet), width of 6 meters, maximum height of 30 meters in length, the machine in the contest, in very large by any standards It is, ControlLogix and CompactLogix Controllers Kinetix 6000 is controlled with multi-speed motor 60, the Rockwell 『PowerFlex variable speed drive control, and servo motor 18 is driven by a servo drive axes Control of the entire system with the EtherNet / IP network are linked Main control cabinet of the machine is about six meters long The other is a high degree of automation is one extreme Virtually one single operator, from start to finish, greatly reducing labor costs, you can run the entire machine It also minimizes the chance of meat products contaminated with the human touch means Operator, and for machines to tell what the size of the sausage machine, all processes synchronize to the size of the enclosure from smoking to packaging The company said 80 percent of workers, the cost savings from the 0.12 euros per kg of sausage finished result will be reduced to 0.40 euros Kounotoritaunzento When sausages are probably co-extrusion process is the most advanced inventions 1960's In this concept, meat, sausage-shaped and the liquid collagen fabric continuously (class of proteins derived from natural animal skin) is to spray the meat extrusion Collagen is formed through a brine solution begins to gel on the surface of cured sausage casing made of rope-like new Kounotoritaunzento is, according to this process, the designer can make the casing of the preferences of customers Rest of the process is the material handling operations Basket of sausages, dry processed through the pre-drying followed by smoking are removed after transport The liquid smoke is blowing the sausages Then, sausages, vacuum-packed in the packing stage high-speed machine, enter the The ControlLogix system with a dedicated Kinetix 6000 servo drive control system is six-axis packaging A package of sausages, while cooling, and are cooked (RTE) food is stored in preparation for shipment of products The whole operation, from start to finish, to process 2200 kg of meat takes about one hour At 01 Vissers, manager of electrical engineering, in Kounotoritaunzento started 30 years ago, most of the electromagnetic relay system configuration control Very timing of Rockwell [2003], the only solution was to require a complete and integrated Sutokutaunzento when, fortunately Akitekuchasoryushon integration began, "I did" Since then, the company is RSLogix5000, RSView Studio development software in conjunction with, low-voltage switchgear, intelligent motor control have been added (it is) providing diagnostic data, ControlLogix and HMI added to the system Kinetix and PowerFlex drive servo controller The network used in the Rockwell SERCOS with DeviceNet, ControlNet, and Ethernet as / IP are included Vissers said that about 90 percent of the machine controls the boat using a Rockwell After two years of work in a FactoryTalk-enabled architecture, the Rockwell Sutokutaunzento ", HMI and motion control controls that achieve the highest possible transparency between"
