"Overall situation is controlled " plan applies at Plasma Cutting equipment

The product sells past whole world. The basic principle cardinal principle that device sphere classifies is similar, accordingly, natural need controls a technology also should the whole world is unified. Although Messer Cutting&Welding GmbH basically produces the client's custom-built equipment, accordingly they reach other in system of type of dimension, equipment, cut detailed information field each are not identical, they are successful already the control system that have the aid of integrates completes all design works of these equipment. Of course, must consider to use the centralized facility statement with an applicable whole world. "Global technology group " be in charge of maintaining this kind of high level, answer the change of market demand quickly. Burkhard Fenner, the CTO of automation Technical Division and manager and project manager Ingo Göller and Mark Ringgenberg are in charge of group management job, include other the employee that comes from Germany, United States and Chinese transnational corporation. Cycle of main research and development wants the time that lasts more than two years. Beckhoff controls technical Messer Cutting&Welding GmbH application controls a technology to already had very long history. From 80 time first, the company went CNC controller with respect to research and development, it is at that time the whole world one of suppliers of first equipment of CNC Plasma Cutting. At the beginning of 2000, the control program that the company decides to realize the whole world to unite on an appropriate platform foundation. For this, disclose according to Burkhard Fenner, they controlled systematic supplier to undertake assessment to making an appointment with 50 CNC at that time, among them nearly 10 entered final contend. The employee group that comes from the United States and Germany had elaborate test carefully, standardize a respect in function of hardware condition, CNC and PLC especially. In this one process, beckhoff shows itself, be considered as very appropriate supplier, be in accordingly 2001, had the test with more particular more again, especially the respect of EMC crucial environment of Plasma Cutting equipment. From 2002 summerly project carries out beginning, messer Cutting&Welding and Beckhoff absolute sincerity all the time cooperation, carry out jointly ' overall situation is controlled ' plan, this program is introduced successfully from April 2004 case, got applied extensively in the whole world. " with company of Messer United States first arrange with is initiated by the American branch of Beckhoff. These two companies call the headquarters that is in Germany severally respectively, final positive result proves, between them cooperate first extraordinary success, accordingly, added item of a lot of other again. " the CNC expert Frank Saueressig of Beckhoff Germany headquarters explains. Nextpage " overall situation is controlled " plan Messer Cutting&Welding GmbH is used ' overall situation is controlled ' the control program that one word will come describe this kind of whole world to unite, its application installed the Plasma Cutting equipment of Beckhoff product at them. Messer Cutting&Welding used all sorts of Beckhoff industry PC and software of TwinCAT CNC automation. Equipment carries a client's custom-built Control Panel operation, it is to satisfy the requirement of Messer Cutting &Welding GmbH special design. The peripheral equipment on equipment and system of I/O of module of bus line terminal join, this system is linked together through Lightbus and industrial PC. I/O interface amount looks equipment kind and decide, and most diminutive equipment also should use 32 I/O the least. Here, digital amount and imitate quantity I/O - include coder to input - got use. Inclined rotor among them, the digital type of the AX2500 series that takes corresponding servo electric machinery is compact model servo driver is used to regard an axis as driver, they also can be linked together with Lightbus agreement. Use Lightbus, because it used fiber-optic technology,be, have higher transmission rate and very strong interference rejection capacity, this are attached most importance to especially to Plasma Cutting equipment should. "Current, how are we using EtherCAT better in the test. " Ingo Göller say. He expects bus line of this kind of spot still has more advantages: "Very apparent, etherCAT still should have higher performance, better diagnostic character, have taller flexibility in hardware limits and framework respect. ScopeView is Messer Cutting&The mainest function in the TwinCAT software that Welding GmbH uses. "Through using TwinCAT ScopeView, we can be collected in real time and track data afresh, let us can pay close attention equipment performance and the breakdown that appear possibly, let us can take necessary step in time thereby. In addition, the system still provides accurate performance data for us, and in the past, we can figure only get. " say of Mark Ringgenberg happy ground. Machine of 3 HPR260 Plasma Cutting is used at the same time, make Trident Steel achieved tall treatment quality and high production efficiency. Soft CNC TwinCAT CNC is special for Messer Cutting&Welding GmbH was passed change one's costume or dress, in order to satisfy the need of hot cut technology. "We developed control software and whole user interface by oneself. " Ingo Göller explanation says. "Come so, we can very agile, apace answers newest market demand with optimal way. To this kind of application, so called " inclined rotor " - same, also be a device that can turn completely, take a do all one can only inclined shaft dogs with axis - development is used at Plasma Cutting. Carry out a proof, in these treatment processes, twinCAT CNC is shown in interpolation and respect of real time changeover unsurpassed. The operation software that develops by Messer Cutting &Welding GmbH is based on Microsoft.

NET frame. Place of Ingo Göller of no less than narrates: "The Windows XP professional edition that we use Microsoft operating system, it is for can will control a function compositive in client network. " " Global ControlS " besides ' Global Controlplus ' besides, messer Cutting&Welding GmbH still was introduced ' Global ControlS ' , it is another kind of controller that is used at more small-sized equipment. The design is based on Beckhoff face plate PC, it is installed directly go up in operation unit. EtherCAT uses as communication bus line, and module of terminal of Beckhoff bus line is used at I/O system. "' Global ControlS ' be based on the software that accords with global standard and hardware platform. " path of Ingo Göller illuminate. To Burkhard Fenner, this is continual a component that undertakes craft is optimized. "And compare before, needs delivery time decreased substantially. " say according to Fenner place, "Global Control " a when because this makes compositive type,produce program main component. Nextpage operation and the operation staff that maintain process vitrification to be Plasma Cutting equipment offerred sex of safety in operation. According to the operation mode of equipment, use at every to machine measure (for example punching or similar move) each function carries screen and relevant operation key explains. Once operate conditional change, cannot the function key of reuse can show to cannot be used. "This kind of design shortened greatly the time of study. To make the operation gets simplifying further, we used identical user interface in the whole world. " Ingo Göller is such when the virtue that expounds this kind of design say. ' overall situation is controlled ' the solution also must is opposite of course maintenance technician is usable. "Since 1989, we are providing long-distance service function all the time. " Ingo Göller emphasizes saying. However, the long-distance service of Messer Cutting is not now only Web visit of the standard. According to Introduction Göller, the global technology group of Messer is developing a special plan that visits in the light of safety at present. As a result of what used Messer ' overall situation is controlled ' solution, all and accurate, quick cut procedure undertakes automatically entirely. Supply catenary globalization its client Messer Cutting&The globalization fixed position of Welding GmbH is Frank Saueressig a bit what be interested very: "The agency that Beckhoff sets alive bound each district through them and branch are inside global limits ' overall situation is controlled ' provide whole platform. The package just the same that the package that we offer in the work in the same placing of the United States and China and we offer in Germany. We offer Messer Cutting&The component of Welding has uniform product code, this makes not only bilateral collaboration rises more convenient, and safe. " the active collaboration that Ingo Göller also spreads out to both sides expresses satisfaction: "The goal that before we had come true 4 years, we establish jointly, the support that we also provide to our supplier expresses acknowledgment greatly, because do not have them, ' overall situation is controlled ' plan is final will not practical. The open mode that applies to all sorts of application circumstances controls platform Messer Cutting&The equipment sort of Welding GmbH is various, this also raised very tall requirement to control equipment: On one hand, a large number of device, those who include them is aberrant, must match with the superstructure photograph of equipment; On the other hand - consider from the angle of the operation - must realize complex fixed position task through interpolation and the interaction of many driver. In addition, the working environment of the Yan Ke in communication technology and Plasma Cutting technology raised special requirement to control system. To Ingo Göller, complexity is taller and taller: "Beckhoff platform offerred quite tall freedom to spend, for example, when connecting what change PLC from CNC too to transmit by the axial drive process of PLC dominant in, vice versa. Accordingly, partial CNC mission can be executed in PLC, transmit a function to answer CNC from PLC again next, for example, after installation or mobile equipment. "Messer Cutting&Welding is very pressing to the demand of new-style control program, because it concerns the platform that uses a level not just, still involve the controller of high quality CNC that should use a whole world to unite. " Frank Saueressig is summed up. Place of Burkhard Fenner of no less than mentions, close cooperation has a technology only with what Messer Cutting accumulates for years is the critical factor that scores a success finally: "We can introduce our special CNC function. Besides these a few respects, the decision uses Beckhoff product to still have additionally a few deep-seated reasons as platform. "High standardization, arrive from the modularity of system of industrial PC class, I/O face plate of bus line design, operation and drive technology, satisfied us completely to be in the requirement that the client that is us needs a control solution that can expand when custom-built equipment. " Fenner such say. No matter was in the past,still be now, hot cut technologists hope particularly can themselves have a technology only the means with craft and control technology is optimal and compositive in equipment. " this is the place that lets you and your competitor have substaintial distinction, the only method of the engineering technology that because it is us,can offer to let them can finish cut job more quickly, more accurately, more efficiently for our client. " Fenner comment says. Messer Cutting&Although the Plasma Cutting equipment that Welding GmbH produces has unified fundamental, the equipment of Messer Cutting &Welding GmbH Plasma Cutting of the majority is a basis client demand the body is custom-built. For example, machine of a gas cutting is the longest can amount to 60 meters, deploy many tools to wear. Cut equipment moves along x-axis through rack rail and electric machinery gear case. "We are taken no account of use linear driver, because we have sometimes the longest the 60 orbit of rice, and the linear electric machinery that is used at this kind of length is too expensive really to us. " Ingo Göller explanation says. Besides, as a result of the metallic dust element of generation, the operation environment of linear electric machinery also can get negative effect. Can install on Plasma Cutting equipment most 16 so called bracket, there is tool of a treatment the least on every bracket. According to treatment demand of the client, many tools can be used on bracket. Talk with respect to processing technique respect, main component is gas cutting, Plasma Cutting and Laser Cutting. Although Messer Cutting&What the Laser Cutting equipment that Welding GmbH produces is aimed at technically is domain of large-scale metal treatment, the equipment of gas cutting and Plasma Cutting makes plan also can be used at a variety of metals to machine dimensions. Accordingly, also can offer machine of the client's custom-built cut of dragon door type or opportunity of platform type cut, take structure of upside of 3 axes bridge. Take or the head of one or more cut of much root axis (include corresponding power supply) be secured to be on these machines. Messer Cutting&Welding cut equipment is used at coming through average perpendicular cut and bevel edge cut normally large board of cut and mark is this, cut or mark tool pass traditional X, Y and Z axle control, here, z axis have the aid of collides or distance detector dominates high niche only. To Plasma Cutting, this technology implements on the high scanning foundation according to circular arc. Plate thickness from 0.

5 Mm is outspread to 150 Mm, but limits arrives in 3 Mm commonly between 70 Mm. CNC Milling CNC Machining
