Flexible transfer system for presses and stamping machines

 The task:

An existing press was to be retrofitted to state-of-the-art technology.

Aim: 

• Increased stroke rate 
• More flexible programming and operation with shorter setting times

 Method of solution:

An initiator-controlled press, used to stamp shock absorber brackets out of raw material in several stages, was fitted with an electronic transfer system that controlled material feed to the multi-stage press.

 Our solution:

The feed axes of the presses were permanently linked electronically to the guide axis, the press ram and thus to the current position of these. At the heart of the control system is a MotionCard LD 100, a cam-plate module with PLC functionality, plugged into the installed LD 2000 servoconverters. By operating three of these systems in a CAN bus network, an electronic line shaft was created to guarantee precise synchronicity between the feed axes and the guide axis.

 Our service offering:

Problem analysis, engineering the necessary process step, project management, software programming, on-site commissioning

 Customer benefits:

• Increased stroke rate 
• More flexible programming and operation 
• Separate collision monitoring no longer required 
• Significantly less wear
• Much simpler setting-up operation
• Easy integration into existing CANopen systems 
• Shorter setting times
