The Application of WECON HMI in Winding Machine

(1) Process automation analysis

 

A. The winding machine is to roll a large-area flake material up according to some methods.

B. The winding machine is mainly used for hose lines, nylon polyester, polyester strings winding, high-tech fibers, coating, artificial turf silk yarn, lithium ion battery production, coating glass fiber, monofilament, multifilament, flat silk (multifilament or more single line pounds), wrong type spindle spinning, etc.

C. The most important performance index of fixed-length winding is the accuracy of winding and the good consistency of the finished product.

D. The winding machine supports continuous setting. If the real winding length has biased error, then we can correct it though setting the parameters.

 

(2) Operating Environment

 

The machine shall be installed in a dry, ventilated, good-light and easy operating place.   

 

(3) Function Description

Considering the present situation that the current machine is prone to have single point of failure, the winding machine has integrated most advanced technical achievements and hardware and software design. It dedicates to bringing a new experience to the winding machine industry. The winding machine is mainly used for hose lines, nylon polyester, polyester strings winding, high-tech fibers, coating, artificial turf silk yarn, lithium ion battery production, coating glass fiber, single, multifilament, flat silk (multifilament or more single line pounds), wrong type spindle spinning, etc. The operating system of the winding machine adopts standard network cabinets and modular structure design, and matches with rich optional components. It also can tailor personal high-reliability product according to the actual demands of the device.

 

The winding machine also can real-time monitor each parameter, and set the abnormal pre-alarm value like dial misplace. You can find out bugs or man-made operation dangers to avoid dislocation so that the products in the whole production line can meet the production requirements.
