The Duesenburg servo rollfeed solution uses Bosch Rexroth
"IndraMotion for Metal Forming - OR Siemens Simotion D410 drive servo feed
system.
DUES-Rollfeed is an uniaxial feed that can be customized
for a variety of needs by using specific hardware and software components. DUES-Rollfeed
has been optimized for applications with controlled feeding of metals, foils or
similar materials that are processed using a shear, a press, a plastic covering
machine, a thermoformer or related machine types. Adding features such as a PLS,
safety queries or tool control enables more complex machine applications.
Supports: various length, end of coil, safety interrupt, safety
onboard, analog decoiler control to VFD, loop control via laser analog
sensor..etc.
From the machine manufacturer or the end user no further
programmings are required. Parameterization as well as wiring of predefined
inputs and outputs for feed-specific data are quickly executed and provide the
basis for far-reaching diagnostics possibilities.
The machine manufacturer or operator combines the DUES-Rollfeed
System by input of a few parameters via an user interface. The configuration of
the system is simplified again by deposited standard parameters and user data.
Via the Bosch Rexroth compact HMI VCP 08 ( or the 10" Siemens
operator Screen) the operator gets only the essential information and input
fields to the use of the system. By pushing a button it is possible to change
the operation mode (Manual, Parameter, Setup, Automatic) or to select a certain
product from the product administration. Besides, in every mask meaningful
status information is available. The use of the compact HMI VCP 08 for the
system solution is optional.
Generally there also exists the possibility to create own user
interfaces for the different operation terminals. The relevant system
information for the display menus etc. are provided by the system parameters
(cp. chapter
The system solution DUES-Rollfeed (Rexroth) also supports an
ASCII-Pass-Through mode that allows a serial communication link from a PC (press
controller) through a VCP HMI device to a Rollfeed control. Via this connection,
the PC can retrieve process information from the Rollfeed control or send action
commands to the Rollfeed control.
The system has been developed for high integrity and security.
An extensive diagnostics system shows conditions of the inputs and outputs just
as operation mode typical messages. The clear language of the diagnostics
messages provides all-around support to the machine operator. This helps to
quickly return to the production process after an error occurs.
