Measurement of pressure, temperature and air flow in an industrial oven Challenge In an industrial oven with temperatures up to 70°C, temperature, pressure and airflow shall be measured. As no power supply is available inside the oven, the system must be supplied by an autarkic power supply. A...
CNC milling machine with optimised speed and precision of the traverse path Challenge A manufacturer of CNC milling machines wants to optimise the traverse path of his machines and their speed and precision. The mechanical wear of the axes is also to be considered. The hardware needs to be...
Machine data transfer via Ethernet to a Maestria® data bank for statistical purposes Challenge In order to achieve the best quality of wafers with regard to purity, roughness and flatness and to reduce rejects, data is to be acquired from each machine and then transferred through Modbus TCP/IP...
Extension of an optical shaft measurement machine with a tactile measurement device Task Cylinder-symmetric as well as non cylinder-symmetric parts of a shaft are to be measured with an optical shaft measurement machine. For this, half-bridge transducers are connected to an optical shaft...
Measurement of pressure, temperature and fill level of a collection tank for a highly reactive cleaning fluid Challenge The fill level, temperature and pressure of an outdoor collection tank for highly reactive cleaning fluid is to be supervised. As soon as a predefined limit value is exceeded,...
A manufacturer of flake boards needs to save material, glue and energy costs, reduce the wear of the grinding belts and optimise the time for the press process.
A fruit wholesaler needs a device for weighing, sorting and packing apples into trays.
For this task, the digital PCI-Express board APCIe-1532 is integrated into the device and connected to a digital scale.
The board APCI-1710 is used for the positioning of an MRT table. The high precision of the positioning allows an exact assignment of the scanned pictures.
Measurement (µs range) with sensors and GPS synchronization of ultrasound, pressure, incremental encoders, motor rotational speed and acceleration. With MSX-Box and PCI boards.
Measurement of length and maximum diameter of a spherical roll with the intelligent Ethernet system MSX-E3711. The onboard calculation saves resources of the process-controlling PLC.
Measurement tasks in a coal power plant with the PAC system MSX-Box and PCI acquisition boards. The measurement data is sent per WLAN to a remote desktop.
Monitoring of a tools motor current with the intelligent Ethernet system MSX-E3121. If the limit value is exceeded, the PLC is triggered and shuts the motor down.
For the optimisation of the press process, a MSX-E3011 Ethernet analog input system reads the values (100 kHz frequency, 16-bit), then transfers them to the PLC.
For the measurement of the surfaces of rotationally symmetric parts numerous axes must be positioned. Furthermore, a fast signal transfer is required in order to detect the position as exactly as possible. To save time, absolute encoders are used because they do not need any reference runs when...
For the position acquisition of the glass components, the Ethernet counter system MSX-E1731 with EnDat 2.2 sensors has been chosen due to its speed and precision.
A manual test station shall be replaced by a modern and easy-to-use measuring system. The goal is to improve the accuracy of the measurement and to avoid errors which occur when measurement values are entered manually.
An automotive manufacturer wants to build test benches for engines to measure, among other data, the temperature inside the engines, the emission values and the boost pressure.
In order to measure the time that one bullet needs to get from the first light barrier to the one, the intelligent multifunction counter system MSX-E1701 is used. Two counter inputs are used for the light barriers.
Measurement and control of a grinding machine producing balls for ball-bearings. The MSX-E3701 Ethernet system measures the dimensions of the balls and sends corrections to the PLC if necessary.
With an analog PC board the values of 32 pyrometers (0 to 10 V) are to be acquired with an acquisition cycle of 1 ms. Analog and digital outputs are used for controlling and regulating the heater lamps.
