      Click [https://stuga.dokit.app/wiki/Changing_Version_Control_to_Visual_Studio here] for the latest procedure For many years, the source code for the PLCs has resided on the G:\drive and then a copy on each and every one of the PCs used to edit the code, so at least one on each machine. This is a recipe for disaster because maintaining all the copies and version numbers is incredibly difficult and adds a lot of time overhead to fixes and changes. This has worked because there has been only one developer, but this is set to change in future as more programmers will be trained and tracking versions becomes more difficult From 2020, the PLC code version control has been improved by using an industry standard source control system called "Git" along with "BitBucket" to store the PLC code in the cloud. The program "SourceTree" is used to commit, push and pull the changes [https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/what-is-version-control Click here] for an introduction to version control using Git This tutorial is a step by step guide to setting up an existing machine or diagnostic PC to a standard uses on all Stuga machines to enable quick, easy and stress free version control.

    • TB450 - CMOS Battery replacement  + (Internal CMOS batteries are used in PCs toInternal CMOS batteries are used in PCs to keep a constant power supply to BIOS memory while the main power supply is switched off. These batteries should last up to 5 years when a PC has been left idle. Sometimes these batteries can fall flat before this time either due to being low when sent out or extended use on older machines. The main symptom of a CMOS battery faulting on a Stuga machine is the PC not booting up when mains power is switched on which will be indicated by a “No Signal Detected” message being displayed on the screen. This is due to the BIOS setting “Restore AC Power Loss” going back to its default value of OFF due to the battery faulting. Restoring the BIOS to its original settings is a temporary fix in this situation as it is most likely this will happen again a couple of months down the line (See TB 376 or 213). The battery required is a '''CR2032'''. In the case of the Antec PC, and most commonly, the battery is held in an open housing that can be pushed to release and easily replaced. In PCs such as the Acer Revo the battery needs to be pre-wired with a plug but still easily unclipped and replacedug but still easily unclipped and replaced)

    • ZX5 V Notch Blade Mechanical Setup  + (On previous models the V notch separation On previous models the V notch separation was set via the software. This could be quite time consuming and required multiple tests and measurements to get it right. Four variables were used for each V notch and it is not straight-forward to get the shape, depth and position correct. On the new ZX5 the '''shape''' of the V notch is set mechanically and once set it should never need changed again, but remember that some customers sharpen their V notch blades instead of replacing them. The following was carried out on the rear V notches using some standard outerframe but the process is exactly the same for the front. Once set you can use the usual software settings to increase/decrease depth and to align back to back. The overall process is: # Set the shape of the V notch (Mechanical adjustment) # Set the Depth of the V notch (Software adjustment in Notching Tab) # Set the Position of the V notch (Software adjustment in Notching Tab)
      ...As you WILL have to stand inside the machining centre I would advise the use of a bump cap and gloves as you will be in close proximity to the V notch blades and tooling.

This causes an issue when the bar is obstructed and either does not fully extend or not fully extract. The cycle is not aware of the position of the cylinders and the machine will continue to run, often resulting in a collision. Not having sensors fitted also means that the Eject Push cycle is run via a timer. However, using a timer means that the system does not know the actual position of the cylinders. Having sensors fitted to the cylinders will allow us to have a cycle that monitors the position of the cylinders and we can determine the cycle has finished before allowing another operation to proceed. We can also use the sensors as feedback to stop the machine if the cycle fails. This will result in fewer collisions and damage to parts or products.

    • Beckhoff AX8000 Flowline Upgrade  + (The Flowline range (Mk3, ZX3, ZX4) are StuThe Flowline range (Mk3, ZX3, ZX4) are Stuga built and designed machines for prepping and cutting uPVC windows and doors. The Flowline is the first machine of the Stuga 'U' shaped machines which has prepping and cutting working in the same machine package. The Flowline is still a fantastic machine for the industry, however, due to the age of the machines and older control systems becoming obsolescent, we have had to find an upgrade route that does not only keep the machine going, but also provides improvements from the original model and up-to-date technology to future proof the machine. The upgrade that we have developed for the Flowline is supplied from an automation supplier named Beckhoff. We also use Beckhoff on our new build machines. This gives us better lead times, more understanding of the products and better diagnostics/ support for our customers. The drive system that we use is called the AX8000 series. These drives are a compact multi axis servo system that use an EtherCAT interface and STO safety functions. These servo drives, coupled with Beckhoff AM8*** series OCT servo motors provide quicker installations and all round performance increases from any system we have previously used. To drive all of the new system, we are using a Beckhoff IPC controller that runs TwinCAT 3. This links into the system via EtherCAT. All of the machine can now link together via EtherCAT to provide quick and stable communications. This tutorial will give you step by step guides on the physical upgrade requirements needed when upgrading a Flowline Mk3 to a Flowline Mk3 with Beckhoff AX8000 Control. Each step will provide you with written information and pictures to guide you through the upgrade. Each step will contain necessary information which will also provide you with rationale for the design and an idea of the benefits over using different methods.

    • ZX5 Datum and Grip Pin Setup  + (The ZX5 has a different and much improved The ZX5 has a different and much improved grip system where we use the 10mm cutter to put holes in the end of the profile. The profile is then gripped by the grip pins to give a more accurate and reliable grip. Along with better machining accuracy, this also allows the X axis to be run at higher speeds and virtually eliminates gripper slip. For it to work accurately and reliably the system first needs to be set up mechanically on both the X and SX axis. And crucially, if the datum is changed the loading position also has to be changed, and vice versa. This is extremely important for the operator, and any on-site maintenance staff to be aware of as changing either one without compensating the other can lead to accuracy issues and miss grips.an lead to accuracy issues and miss grips.)
    • TB0447 ZX5 Setup - X Axis Beam Calibration  + (The ZX5 has a moveable Beam on the Z axis.The ZX5 has a moveable Beam on the Z axis. The design reason behind this is to keep the gripper arm short for reliability and stiffness, yet enable it to move out of the way for rear V notching During the calculations for the machining bar recipe, the software has to work out if and when the beam needs to be moved: ·        If there are no v notches on the bar, then machine all the operations without moving the beam. Beam moves at the very end when ejecting ·        If there is a V notch, move the bar during the first X axis position where position > beamStrokeLength Therefore, it is very important for the software to know how far the beam moves physically to offset all the positions to allow for it. The distance is measured and entered into parameter beamStrokeLength. It should be around 700mm. beamStrokeLength. It should be around 700mm.)

    • TB0445 ZX5 Setup - Infeed Measure Sensor Calibration  + (The ZX5 has two bar measuring systems – thThe ZX5 has two bar measuring systems – the side laser and the sensor array. The side laser scans the bar as it moves into the final loading location, which gives the software a “heads-up” for the length of the bar. If the length is different to expected, the software will then use the sensor array to measure the bar length. There are 2 measurement methods because the side laser is not 100% reliable, especially on shorter lengths below 3000mm. However, it does mean the system does not have to grip and measure / reoptimize each bar length, so improves the cycle time. The sequence is as follows 1.      During the conveyor loading, measure the length using the side laser 2.      Once loaded to backfence, check the backfence sensor array. 3.      If the sensor array rough measurement does not match the laser – a.      If the laser measured length < infeedLaserRemeasure, continue and measure with rear sensors b.      If the laser measured length < infeedLaserRemeasure, flag an error that laser has not measured correctly. c.       If it does match, use the laser value to reoptimize the bar if it is different than expected 4.      Load and Grip bar, if necessary, measure accurately with rear sensor arrayssary, measure accurately with rear sensor array)

Unfortunately the mounting holes of the new carrier interfered with the mounting holes of the pneumatic cylinder so it couldn't be used. After taking dimensions of the existing plate for identification I realised there was actually a very small and quick repair that could be carried out until the correct parts were identified.
