The Plasma Project
OUR HISTORY
Our history starts in 1994 with some small italian customers like
- OPCM cutting table
- CRM punching and cutting combined
- WHITNEY punching and cutting combined and is going on with these
- PROMOTEC (I) plasma, oxy, laser cutting table
- CRM (I) plasma cutting table
- Flli. Farina
(I) plasma cutting table
- IMAL (I) plasma cutting table
- BAYKAL (T) plasma cutting table
We sell 200 CN for year in this field.

OUR EXPERIENCE
Our experience lets us to help our customers to find solution for his problems. We have reached a good knowledge of the problems of a good cut and often we work together also in problem regarding motors and drive, user interface, THC ( Torch Height Control ) integrated or not in the CN.

A SIMPLE OVERVIEW OF OUR PRODUCTS
Our philosophy consists in dividing the CN in two units:
- The User Interface Unit called processor A
It is normally a personal computer for industrial environment like PC12 or CN16, or a remote unit that must be connected to a office PC.
- Numeruic Control with integrated PLC called processore B
There are three solutions that are equal for software and performances.

DRIVES AND MOTORS
We work with all trade-marks for driver and motors, because our units loads drive with reference speed signal and reads the position by encoder inputs.
We have also developed a digital connection with Yaskawa drives via Mechatrolink standard.
This solution is avaible only for the Syncro Rack Unit.

CAD-CAM
The same philosophy is used for CAD-CAM. The most important Cad-Cam software house have a post-processor for our units.
With PC12 out customers can install on-board every programs the user needs.
But we have also developed small Cad-Cam solution for simpe and cheap solutions.

THC
One of the most important question about the good quality of cut, is the Torch Height Controll (THC). Normally it means that the CN has a strong connection with the plasma generator and with the torch axis.
We have developed different solutions for our customers.
- THC and torch group made directly by our customers.
Normally in this case the CN can control only the current of cut with digital signal and can regulates the position of cut only in the corner.
- Torch group made by customer and THC integrated in the CN.
In this case our CN reads directly from the generator the arc tensions and move the torch axis as a normal third axis.
- Torch group integrated with clever electronic boards.
This is the last development in progress for a big company that produce plasma generator.
The goal of this project is to have a unit that can work with any type of controls.
- Gas Consolle integrated in our software. See the relative document.
- A lot of different type of touching the sheet, with proximty, with ohmic contact, with mechanic contact.
- Integrated logic for the safety of the torch.
We can stop the cut without exiting from the line of cut, restart from the point of break.
But also we have a retrace function that can help to redo backward the last cut until the start of cut.

 

Multifuction Punch System Board
From the long experience of the punch products , the new project want give a solution that binds performance and flexibility. The digital electronic use with a high elaboration speed allow to have good performance and to realize different cycles of job with the costumer requirements. The TSP will be a numerical control of UR050 derivation, characterized for the punch head management. The main characteristics:
- 3 electrovalve out for idraulic management with maximum current 2A. For two of these is possible use the Booster option. This allows to decrease meaningfully the punch time.
- 1 PWM out to maximum current 1A for the proportional valve management.
- 1 4-20mA input to allows the pressure read form the standard transducers.
- The CN through PLC can management a maximum of 16 + 16 I/O on bus BLT.
- The dead points can be defined through the serial line and CAN line. The punch command and the ready event can be given form CAN or I/O.
- Predefined and personalizables Cycles by software.
- Resistance to the mechanical shock to can remote the card close to punch.

 

Electrovalves control board to Punching machine
The electrovalves control is a device to be install on din bar hook. It has all necessary resource to precision working in the punching machines that use a potentiometer as position transducer. The board can management 2 electrovalve for current till 2A with rapid switch-off. The communication with NC happens through digital I/O. It allows the dimanic setting of top and bottom dead centre with accuracy of 1/4000 in relation at stroke transducer. The board management the punching cycle control, up rammer, down rammer. Moreover it supply the potentiometric transducer.
