Along with the near for ten year our country economy high speed development, specially in the road infrastructure domain, the nation was open to traffic the course already to surpass 1.3 million kilometers, highway achieved 20,000 kilometers, were open to traffic the total course to be only inferior to US, leapt to the world second.

Along with the highway construction development, our country also day by day grows to the automobile demand. In the last few years, our country private vehicle market already became the whole world to grow the most rapid auto market. Along with the road quality enhancement, the automobile shipping industry also obtained the development. At the same time, because our country unceasingly enlarges to the infrastructure investment, stirs the vehicle, the hoist crane to the concrete and so on the special purpose vehicle demand also unceasingly increases.

The special vehicle produced the factory already to aim at the profit to be rich actually still is at the seed stage the home heavy vehicle market. This for produced the factory to propose a higher request, needed to provide the bearing power for the heavy vehicle to be strong, the safe reliable tire. In order to can quickly produce the high grade tire, the merchant hoped the Qingdao universities softly controls the company to provide the economy practical solution for them.

The Qingdao universities softly controlled the limited liability company to be established in 1994, specially provided the meridian tire for the tire manufacture merchant to take shape the equipment, took shape in the equipment in mainland China OEM tire to hold 20 ~ 25% market, its end-user was exposed to the sun, the Henan refined appearance including Hangzhou, the distant Ninglang horse, Shandong Jin Yu, is permanent abundantly, tire manufacturer and so on match wheel, Yellow Sea, Pingdu light.

Challenge

The tire manufacture divides into three basic steps: The first step, makes the tire the part. In this step needs the different type rubber as well as the different oil, the dye, the chemical additive mixes in together, makes the tire the different part, including liner, edge and tire tread. At the same time, but also needs to produce other parts, needs the steel belt including the tire and so on; Receives, needs to take shape the equipment through the tire to assemble tire each part; Finally, the process heats up curing processing, carries on fixedly to the tire part. In order to help the tire production merchant to win the competition intense heavy vehicle tire market, the Qingdao universities softly controls the company to devote is reasonable, the reliable high tire to the production cost takes shape the equipment, uses in to produce the entire steel wire carrying capacity meridian tire.

At first, the Qingdao universities softly controls the company to use traditional the movement control method, and integrates it the tire to take shape in the equipment. Takes shape in the equipment in a typical tire, often contains many axes the servo movement control, the control system most main duty is must guarantee each servo electrical machinery in the production process the synchronized coordination movement. Uses a programmable controller to use in the sequential control, each axis needs to establish the programmable controller and between the servo electrical machinery connection through 18 pair of 离散�?I/O wiring. At the same time, uses the third party movement control module and its programming software also increased the system complex degree. From this movement control system which establishes, regardless of is a wiring, or programs, extremely is all complex.

When use tradition movement control method, the Qingdao universities softly controls the company to need to spend nearly all around time to complete the tire to take shape the equipment wiring, the inspection and the test, but also needs for two month-long the time to come to it to carry on the programming. Moreover, the scene installment and the debugging time also long reach 20 ~ 30 days. In the market to the entire steel wire carrying capacity meridian tire demand peak time, the user hoped this company can take shape as soon as possible the tire the equipment payment use. Therefore, the Qingdao universities softly controls the company to need to seek one quicker method, integrates the movement control system in the equipment, the quicker real estate delivery market, meets the user urgent needs.

Solution

For many years, the Qingdao universities softly has controlled the company always to use the Rockwell automation the integrated overhead construction control system solution, and has obtained the success in the many kinds of applications project. Now, they introduce the Rockwell automation movement control solution the tire to take shape in the equipment, satisfies the user by its high accuracy localization performance the harsh request.

The Rockwell automation recommends this company to use the complete set the movement control integration solution, including Allen-Bradley the ControlLogix controller, Allen-Bradley the Kinetix 6,000 multiple spindle servos drivers and Allen-Bradley the Ultra3000 entire numeral servo electrical machinery, and uses the DeviceNet network to carry on the control, programs software RSLogix which produces for the Rockwell software company 5,000.

The traditional movement control system requests many controllers to participate in the control, and needs and it correspondence programming software package. However, completes based on the Kinetix movement control integration solution the sequential control and the movement control function integration in the sole control platform and programming software. 5,000 programmed in software in the ControlLogix controller and RSLogix already to insert the movement control function, and through SERCOS (serial optical fiber link) the connection many Kinetix 6,000 servos drivers and the Ultra3000 servo electrical machinery closely will integrate in together.

The SERCOS connection through the optical fiber link the controller and the servo actuation machine connects in together, no longer needs to connect 18 pair of 离散�?I/O for each axis control. At the same time, the Kinetix movement control system has used Power Rail actively 背板, the more convenient module installment, has avoided the numerous and diverse power line, the logical pilot wire connection.

Completes after the system design and the installment, the Rockwell automation appoints the beautiful poem automation company to provide the technical support and the training service to the OEM equipment. At the same time, directly softly controls the company by the Rockwell automation to the Qingdao universities to provide movement control system training and the scene service.

Result
Because has used based on the Kinetix movement integration control solution, the Qingdao universities softly controls the company the equipment payment time greatly in order to reduce, simultaneously the equipment cost also obtains reduces. In the SERCOS connection and under the Power Rail help, softly controlled the company for the Qingdao universities to reduce 75% wiring time - to reduce from the original need four weeks work to a week; Because has used sole programming development software - RSLogix 5,000, causes the sequential control and the movement control can integrate well in together, from this has saved 50% programming time - from the original need two months, reduces may complete to a month.

More more importantly, helped softly to control the company same OEM equipment manufacturer like the Qingdao universities remarkably to reduce the equipment installment, the debugging time. When use tradition movement control system, the Qingdao universities softly controls the company often to need to spend 30 days in end-user's workshop to take shape the equipment to its tire to carry on the installment and the debugging. After uses the movement integration control system, 10 ~ 15 days on possibly complete this work.

The Qingdao universities softly controls the company also to plan on the ControlLogix controller installs an ethernet communication module, workshop scene equipment and user's ERP system integration in together, realizes in the true significance "from the workshop to the management level" the information integration, promotes our country tire manufacturing industry equipment level to a new altitude.
