Whether it’s PLC programming, HMI development, integration of camera systems, or control of industrial robots – we support your projects from the very first concept to full on-site commissioning. Here you’ll find a brief overview of some of our completed projects.
In the system, drive housings are transported via a conveyor belt into a robotic cell, where excess casting material is removed. Two ABB robots handle the components. The robots receive their control commands directly from the PLC, which manages all data handling. The PLC ensures seamless communication and task distribution, controls each robotic operation step, and monitors the entire process.
After being transferred from an upstream system, the cocoa nibs enter the roaster, where they are gradually heated and held at the recipe-defined temperatures. Fans are activated to stabilize air circulation within the roasting chamber, while exhaust flaps are precisely controlled to ensure optimal airflow. This maintains a consistent temperature throughout the entire roasting process. Once roasting is complete, the product is transferred to the cooler for controlled cooling.
The folding boxes are placed on an infeed roller conveyor, automatically centered, and then transported through the machine via conveyor belts. Analog signals are used to detect the height and width of the boxes. In various stations, the top flaps are closed, glued, and the bottom is sealed before the boxes are transferred to a downstream machine. Signal exchange is handled via a PN/PN coupler interface. Speed control of the SEW frequency inverters ensures precise operation of the conveyor belts.
PLC software development with TIA Portal V14, HMI creation using WinCC Professional, sequential programming in AWL, on-site system commissioning, control of ABB robots and Anyfeeders, integration of camera systems and Innomatec testing devices.
The DS Place was developed to efficiently sort small components and transfer them with high precision to a downstream machine. The parts enter the system via a conveyor belt, where a camera detects their position and transmits the data to the PLC. The PLC program was created using TIA Portal V18, and the system visualization was developed with WinCC V18. An Epson SCARA robot handles the picking and placing of the components.
The lamellas are first conveyed via a transport system and then transferred into a paternoster system, where they undergo a curing process. The paternoster drive is controlled by an SEW Movidrive inverter using modulo positioning. After curing, the lamellas are automatically forwarded to a fully automated planing unit. Before physical commissioning, the software was virtually tested and optimized to ensure seamless integration.
