  • Upgrading Autoflow TwinCAT2 to Win10 and TwinCAT3  + (<div class="annotatedImageDiv" typeof="
    Beckhoff C6015.jpg
    Autoflows from A2001 to A2015 were initially produced with TwinCAT2 software. This has now been superseded with TwinCAT3 which then has the benefit of compatibility with version 6 front end software.

    The original PC cannot be used because

    *It is not powerful enough to run v6 front end
    *The operating system cannot be upgraded to Windows 10
    *It cannot be upgraded to TwinCAT3


    The Beckhoff C6015 PC has been chosen to be the replacement PC. It is compact, yet powerful enough to run the v6 front end and TwinCAT in the same
    . It has an upgrade to 1.9Ghz 4 core processor.

    Because it has a limited 40Gb SSD memory, a compact 64Gb memory stick is inserted into the USB 3.0 port. This acts as a separate drive for the DDRIVE dynamic storage for all machine setup. The internat drive is for the Operating System only. This mimics the current Autoflow setup of a remote Camera PC, hence the camera PC can be retired after the upgrade

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.

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.

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.

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.

You will need callipers (+/-0.05mm) and an accurate rule The setting of the V notch blades on a ZX3 Ring revolves around the setting of two groups of parameters: *V and W axis positions *Blade offsets for each blade The rough position of V and W axes is set first, then the individual blade offsets are set, and finally a test is run to tweak the accuracy to gain perfection. There are two “tweaking” parameters for each blade. The two parameters are: *Depth offset – how deep into the bar *X axis offset – position of point of blade relative to the spindle centrelinef blade relative to the spindle centreline)

  • ZX5 Gripper Energy Chain & Tray Setup  + (<div class="icon-instructions caution-i
    ...August 2023 - The energy chain and method used in this dokit has been superseded by https://stuga.dokit.app/wiki/Energy_Chain_Installation_-_2500_Series
    The main problems we’ve had during commissioning with these energy chains is that if they are not positioned well enough , the chain will clip the button heads that hold the trays to the L brackets To get over this the brackets sometimes need adjusting on the slots along with possibly bending into a better shape or by adjusting the chain bracket position on the slots in the ‘finger’ bracket Things to look out for: *There should be three links which are reversed at the bracket end of the energy chain. *Servo cable and the pipes and cables from the energy chain are fixed with cable ties to the fingers on the bracket to minimise possible movement and twisting which changes where the energy chain sits in the trays, meaning it could start clipping the button heads. *Tray heights and energy chain length, there should be a consistent gap all the way along between the energy chain and the top tray (viewed from inside the tray) and when at the full travel either end the chain shouldn’t be tight hitting the fence too much at the end. *It is also worth checking if all of the links fitted are the same radius type, as we have had occasions where some have been a smaller radius meaning at certain points down the rack the radius of the bend becomes smaller and falls out from the support of the top tray, especially when the gripper is at either end of the rack. There is a code on the side of each link in the energy chain. *A last thing to be weary of is is the end corners of the trays may require bending out, there have been occasions where one chain tray has been slightly more bent in than the other meaning when the chain moves from one tray to the next it clips the corner of the next tray We normally get the gripper on a reversing cycle movement to test this through the twincat project at different speeds, starting slow and working up to higher speeds.

The transmitter light is reflected back to the receiver from a target. The sensor determines the distance to the target and triggers a switching function or supplies the relevant measured value for processing. '''Assembly instructions''' The sensor can be mounted by means of through holes or by using a mounting bracket or mounting clamp Ensure that the surface is level in order to prevent the housing from becoming distorted when the fittings are tightened. It is advisable to secure the nuts and screws using spring washers in order to prevent the sensor from being incorrectly adjusted.
