Request of the customer
The customer came to us with the request to renew his profiling lines. The following problems were encountered:
- The lines were still equipped with old DC motors
- Certain components were very difficult to obtain or no longer available
- The lines all consisted of separate components, each with their own control
- The operation was confusing and different on all lines
- The safety devices of the different line sections were hardly connected to each other
Our realisation
We were able to help the customer with the following solutions:
- New, more compact electrical cabinets using Siemens Technology PLC and drives
- Control of an entire line with 1 PLC for both safety and process
- Safety in line with standards
- Renewed control: clear, intuitive and uniform on all lines
- Replacing DC motors with servo motors, which consume less energy (-40%)
