Project Background

This OEM, based in Mumbai, India, is an old and reputed manufacturer and exporter of Special purpose machine for various industries. Their existing sleeve applicator machines used other motion controller has maximum speed up to 300bpm at label mark correction accuracy with in 1 mm. The customer was seeking a high-performance i.e upto 450 BPM solution to achieve more speed, more precise with in his budget.

Customer Requirements

The customer’s existing machines used other motion controller on pulse/position control, which were low-speed, Physical Wiring and troubleshooting was complex . The customer wanted to upgrade the control part to fast bus communication like EtherCAT to achieve higher adaptability, faster response, lower energy consumption, Easy troubleshooting and increased productivity with accuracy. INVT provided the next generation motion TS600 PLC, efficient DA180 servo, and VS-Q HMI to meet these requirements.

INVT Solution

Solution Overview:

To achieve high-speed, high-precision, fully automated sleeve applicator machine INVT has installed the new generation control product to achieve the application demand. These systems integrate advanced control technologies like Motion PLC, human-machine interfaces, and high response servo systems to guarantee high speed, reliability and accuracy of the system.

Solution advantages:

• TS633 is a new gerenation PLC which gives features like Cam point calculation for different volume of filling material, which helps to get accuraty during callibration.

• TS633 PLC has inbuilt Ethercat communication Bus that supports EtherCAT motion communication to control DA180 servo with high precession. Based on the vial size the cam table update and gives fast and accurate volumatric filling

• .TS633 offers to run multiple cam table at same time so it can synchronize the vial carrier segment with respect to virtual axis accurately.

• No bottle no filling means no cam enable function can reduce the waste of filling material.

Solution Topology:

System commissioning

Control panel

Solution Value

1. The sleeve applicator machine uses INVT Motion based PLC TS633, In which we have developed 4 cam table, E-Cam function is inbuilt, cutter(rotary) movement, sleeve feeder by INVT servo motor and all are synchronize with respect one virtual axis.

2. INVT DA180 Supports Ether CAT communication which can reduce the wiring, trouble shooting is easier, Synchronize is faster and accurate. Cam Curve automatically update in real time as per required matrix.

3. Low maintenance and high accuracy due to Electronic cam function

4. As this machine is fully automatic from infeed conveyor to out conveyor so less human interference and less human errors.

5. Production is increased by 10%

6. The Bottle Shrink Sleeve Machine is a high-speed application equipment used to apply label to bottles. Its speed ranges from 50 to 400 bottles per minute.

7. Accuracy of sleeve mark is +/-0.5mm

Conclusion

INVT solution delivered significant performance improvements in terms of speed, efficiency and accuracy. we have upgraded the system with TS633 PLC and DA180 servo on Ether CAT . Customer is very much satisfy with our performance and feature.
