Flying Saw with SIMOTION |
1 Basic information
1.1Prerequisites
1.1.1Target group
The standard application is conceived for all programmers and users who wish to quickly and simply implement a flying saw using SIMOTION.
1.1.2Knowledge base
In order to use this technology template, you should be able to use SCOUT and technology objects and technology function calls in SIMOTION.
This document does not provide an introduction into these subjects and is solely restricted to providing information and data on how to use this standard application.
1.1.3Technical environment
This standard application can only be used, without having to make any changes, in conjunction with SIMOTION D and the SINAMICS demonstration case.
1.2Objective and purpose of this standard application
1.2.1Task description
Using SIMOTION, a material web, fed using the material feed mechanism is to be cut into identical parts and sections. As a result of the characteristics of the material, the material cannot be cut at once across the whole width of the web with just one cut. In order that the motion of the material web does not have an impact on the cut, either the material web must be stopped during the cut, or the cutting device must be moved in synchronism with the material web – i.e. the material web is cut "on the fly".
Why flying processing/machining?
"Flying" processing/machining is required, if
•If the flow of products were to be stopped due to a
•Stopping the product flow cannot be justified as a result of the energy demand when decelerating and accelerating.
•The individual processing/machining steps are too different so that a standard delay time cannot be justified from a
