  • Guide to Fitting Eject Push Sensors on ZX Machines  + (The Eject Push bar on the Saw Outfeed on tThe Eject Push bar on the Saw Outfeed on the ZX machines does not have sensors fitted to monitor the position of the cylinders. 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. Please always feel free to provide Stuga with any feedback on this document or its contents.feedback on this document or its contents.)
  • GE Control Components Changeover  + (The GE control components are now obsoleteThe GE control components are now obsolete and we have had to find a new manufacture to use. We have decided to go with Eaton control equipment for this. We are using the same supplier for these products and we have the added benefit if the supplier holding these parts in there stores. We had a choice to use either ABB, Eaton or Schneider components. Although all of the individual Eaton components are a direct replacement for the GE components, there are certain situation that we may be tripped up. This includes times when we need to change a motor breaker that has an auxiliary block connected to it. We can change the breaker but the GE auxiliary block will not fit on the new Eaton one. This means that the Eaton components need to have different part numbers to the GE components. This document will layout the new part numbers and what they relate to and instructions on how they are added and changed in the Sage system. are added and changed in the Sage system.)

  • 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.)

  • Setting Arrow Heads on ZX5 or ZX5-E  + (The Zx5 and Zx5e have an upgraded system oThe Zx5 and Zx5e have an upgraded system on the saw centralising which takes the best mechanical features of the standard saw centralising, yet adds an ability to move the central point for Y notches. In general, this makes it easier to set up, because the overall centralise position can be changed in software , rather than adjusting a cylinder offset, and also to fine tune the centralise position for different profiles
    ...With the ability to tweak settings comes the real danger that too many tweaks cause confusion. Therefore when setting up, ensure all fine adjustments are reset to zero. Be aware that changing the arrow head position permanently will also alter Y notch depths

  • Repairing R axis datum pin  + (The datum pin on the old ZX4 at Sidey was The datum pin on the old ZX4 at Sidey was recommended to be changed at my last service visit. Unfortunately there are quite a few different datum spindle plates and we were having problems tracking down the correct one so it was decided that I would be sent out the new replaceable datum pin carrier as Sidey have a small machine shop I could use to modify the existing plate to make it fit. 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.

In these cases, the front end software (winMulti or winSaw) also needs to be updated – you will get an error to tell you that this is the case * Version numbers have always followed a numerical order, so the higher the number, the later the version * Mnt files should always be stored in ** c:\multi on MH side – called Multi X.xxx.mnt ** c:\saw on Saws or Saw side of flowline – called IgSaw X.xx.mnt aw side of flowline – called IgSaw X.xx.mnt )

    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.

  • 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)

The latest XP compatible downloadable version of the Host program is 13.2 and is available [https://download.teamviewer.com/download/version_13x/TeamViewer_Host_Setup.exe here] Regrettably, the update process on older versions is not simple, and frustratingly cannot be done remotely.

  • Move SR Datum Sensor to Higher Level R0019217  + (On a Mk4 Autoflow, The SR axis daum sensorOn a Mk4 Autoflow, The SR axis daum sensor is originally located at the rear and to the base of the SR axis. This area is prone to offcuts, so a new location has been designed at the top, with the following design parameters *Easy to retrofit *Sensor is protected in a case *Short distance to connection box *Uses existing mounting holes *Easy to adjust and maintain *Sensing end location should be vertical onto a plate, not horizontal on to a radiused surface *Can use E0000336 2mm range sensor reliably *Incorporate a front fence to help deflect offcuts down the chute and to protect the sensor The parts are supplied in Kit R0019217B
    ...In November 23, a second iteration of the design was released using metal parts and a side fence to improve robustness (R0019217B)

  • 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.

  • Setting Infeed Loading Wheel  + (Setting the pressure and clutch tension onSetting the pressure and clutch tension on the loading wheel is critical for the reliable and accurate running of the machine If set incorrectly, the profile will slip and not load correctly or will not give an accurate start position for the datum holes The goal is to set the system to a "goldilocks" zone where there is enough pressure and clutch tension to reliably load a bar, but not too much so the clutch limits any correctional movement from the gripper arm on loading
