Perfect interpretation of the B & R control technology in metal processing machinery

Introduction symbol of reliability and durability - Kaltenbach. Power saws and band saws Kaltenbach company's main products, widely used in metal processing machinery, and give high marks for the metal industry expert in the field of well-known, the type of metal processing machinery normally used B & R ( B & R), automatic control technology, because the B & R innovative concept for all of this possible. "The key factor when we choose B & R (B & R) B & R has many advantages such as rich in unique applications, to help customers design the best solution strength" Kaltenbach indicated that the company, electrical design manager Gerhard Strobel said the case . Kaltenbach pursuit of high-quality and high reliability of the product, rather than blindly follow the technology trend to research and development of our products; thus supplier expectations with many years of experience in product development is to provide customers with innovative products. "This, of course, also include an excellent value for money, it is very important for the continuous production machinery manufacturers. "Gerhard Strobel adds. In 1996, German suppliers interrupt supply control system, Kaltenbach decided to replace the supplier. The twists and turns of the past after we choose the control system are always not satisfactory, the vendor can not provide supporting standard accessories such as analog I / O and axis positioning card project, cause we can not establish standards for clients such as can not connect rotary encoder such situations will occur. "Gerhard Strobel recalls. In addition, the suppliers only provide a the expensive single site license. Obviously, we must as soon as possible to solve the problem of the control system. 120,000 Kaltenbach manufacturing machines being used around the world. Faced with such a large number of the replacement system becomes extremely arduous. Due to the the rich metalworking manufacturers product categories and different, this step is to Maide very difficult. The Kaltenbach total of 450 employees, professional R & D and manufacturing of steel and aluminum power saw, band saw, and light steel keel processing system, sheet metal processing equipment, as well as punch and cutting system. Requirements of the high standard of the machine based on the material being processed Kaltenbach indicated that specifications and diverse products is able to provide customers with the best solution: separate production line can have a variety of designs, such as from a semi-automatic saw machines to high-performance full The automation Saw. The now control system must be able to meet the diverse needs of the various types of products. Gerhard Strobel explains, "We use six different types of CPU-other components, such as different I / O configuration, and so the model is also very rich. A fresh start - a trusted B & R control technology "our current major integrated Motorola / Freescale processor-based PLC. Currently, we are for the controller to replace the Intel processor." B & R a new generation of PCC X20 CPU based on Intel technology. "The reason we have a keen interest in the X20 system is because of its excellent cost-effective and high-performance rich combination --- small CPU unexpected performance --- modular structure of the system are able to provide more for our machinery to provide strong support. Kaltenbach indicated that companies like Power Panel as the semi-automated system HMI controllers and industrial PCs combine the structure of complex processing machinery, automation systems,
