With a spe­cial­ly devel­oped and cus­tomized soft­ware, Qual­i­ty Automa­tion GmbH has dig­i­tal­ized the process flow in the pro­duc­tion of the steel con­struc­tion com­pa­ny Müller & Sohn GmbH & Co. KG and thus sig­nif­i­cant­ly increased its effectiveness.

For Con­trol 2022 in Stuttgart, the Inter­na­tion­al Trade Fair for Qual­i­ty Assur­ance, we, Qual­i­ty Automa­tion GmbH, togeth­er with the com­pa­ny KORDT GmbH & Co. KG, have devel­oped an auto­mat­ed and robot-con­trolled thread inspection. 

The com­plete mod­ern­iza­tion of a needling machine from 1980 was intend­ed to bring it up to the lat­est state of the tech­nol­o­gy. By replac­ing out­dat­ed soft­ware and hard­ware with con­tem­po­rary tech­nolo­gies and adding new com­po­nents and stan­dards, the ben­e­fits of a retro­fit were ful­ly exploited.

Indi­vid­ual func­tions of the mod­u­lar ERP sys­tem of Qual­i­ty Automa­tion GmbH can now be accessed brows­er-based from var­i­ous end devices such as PC, smart­phone or tablet.

A new design and safe­ty fea­tures have increased the effi­cien­cy and safe­ty of a cur­ing process using UV light. The val­i­da­tion of the sys­tem was car­ried out accord­ing to GAMP 5.

High-pre­ci­sion and real-time posi­tion detec­tion and adjust­ment are used to ultra­son­i­cal­ly cut the tex­tile cov­er­ings to the desired width.

A new mechan­i­cal design and the use of ser­vo dri­ves allow the pro­duc­tion of dif­fer­ent pro­files with one machine.

Through a spe­cial real-time mode, the move­ments of the robot can be changed at runtime.
The con­trol data is pro­vid­ed by a syn­chro­nized mul­ti CPU system.

Con­nec­tion of a MAT­LAB script to Beck­hoff Twin­CAT 3 allows com­plex analy­sis of large amounts of data.

The gate­way is par­tic­u­lar­ly suit­able for data exchange and analy­sis in the sense of Indus­try 4.0 for exist­ing systems

The use of PLC-based mod­ules enables the dri­ves to be con­trolled regardless
of the man­u­fac­tur­er in the oper­at­ing modes dancer or ten­sion control.
