Press Machine Control System

Tableware

The FPC is designed as an „all-in-one system“ for use on rotating press machines with up to 20 single sections or 16 double sections. It unites the machine controller and the synchro-nous drive on a common hardware platform. This new automation concept covers the com-plete requirements profile from the feeder through the glass moulding equipment to the con-veyor for the finished product. 

The desire to provide a controller that is suited not only for machines based on the very latest technology but also for retrofitting or modernising older lines was a top development priority. We are now optimally placed to offer our customers what they rightly expect from us as an experienced manufacturer of control solutions: a more reliable production process, higher product quality and significantly improved productivity.

Hardware 
  • SIMOTION D4X5-2 CPU* 
  • SINAMICS S120 motor modules 
  • PC 677 Touch panel for visualisation AEG 
  • Thyro-P thyristor power controller 
Software 
  • SIMOTION Scout 4.x* 
  • Siemens WINCC Flexible 20xx* 
* Type varies depending on project latest software version is installed

Features

  • Control and automation integration in a motion control system for up to 128 servo drives per machine 
  • Press table can be indexed by a servo-controlled Maltese cross or a gearless servo direct drive (double-axis integration) 
  • Platinum chute heating or servo feeder permits continuous glass feeding 
  • Precise position and pressure control assures absolute repeatability and automatic, section-dependent mould correction 
  • Event output visualised on a PC by means of a 360 degree bar chart 
  • Job archive for rapid storage and retrieval of job data, including pressing curves 
  • Trend recording function with long-term archival of measured values 
  • Highest energy efficiency due to possible regenerative power feedback from the IGBTs of the drive system

Options

Connection of other plant components, e.g. fire polishing machine, power feedback from the DC link, light barrier unit for job counters, etc.
