Thermal Cup Necking Machine Solution

System Function

The double-station necking machine system features X/Z bus servo motion platform, handwheel pulse control input, main axis drive control, code command list editing and execution, and Ethernet-based host system data exchange.

X/Z Bus Servo Motion Platform

Via EtherCAT bus servo control, it offers functions such as single-axis positioning, multi-axis interpolation, circular interpolation, and electronic cam synchronization, to achieve high-speed, precision, responsive control, and stable drive for necking process needs.

Handwheel Pulse Control Input

The handwheel pulse connects to the PLC's high-speed counter interface, using the electronic gear coupling function internally to drive the control axis for fast following and precise control.

Main Axis Drive Control

PLC communicates with the AC drive via RS485 interface and MODBUS RTU protocol, by setting the main axis speed, reading real-time data, alarms, and other parameters. It adjusts the main axis speed in real time based on the user command list's [main axis setting] command.

Command List Editing and Execution

The system emulates CNC G-code through a command list, enabling the editing and execution of custom programs. This approach differs from the traditional CNC method, which necessitates user familiarity with CNC editing.

Host System Data Exchange

Use a standard Ethernet interface, MODBUS TCP, and TCP socket protocols, along with third-party systems such as production line controllers and management systems, for data exchange, formulated transmit-receive procedures and cooperative control.

System Topology

System Feature

High Stability and Compatibility

Adopting VEICHI's high-performance automation products as the core components, the system comprises PLC controllers, servo technology, and touch screens ensuring superior stability and compatibility. In addition to the flexible system solution, VEICHI also offers prompt and efficient after-sales support.

Sophisticated System

Featured with fault self-detection and enhanced logical protection, the system offers a manufacturer's debugging mode with multi-tiered password access for system administrators, managing personnel, and operators by assigning different usage and modification rights.

Fault Self-Detection

The self-detection function can identify servo drive faults and provide corresponding solutions. It also includes a fault stop function for program logic errors, as well as fault stops and alarms for incorrect parameter setting. Settings have range limits, and additional features include element self-locking, etc.
