Problem: Foam Kit Upgrade
A custom made reinforced foam kit line was not working despite the customer’s and even the manufacturer’s efforts
BTU-TECH Approach
Instead of trying to fix the existing automation, BTU-TECH decided to set up a new automation.
RESULT
A unique custom made automation system and renewed electrical cabinet with a new controller and HMI.
Problem: Foam Slicing New Automation
An old foam slicer was not working despite the customer’s and even the manufacturer’s efforts.
BTU-TECH Approach
Instead of trying to fix the existing automation, BTU-TECH decided to set up a new automation.
RESULT
A unique custom made automation system and renewed electrical cabinet with a new controller and HMI while preserving the old drives and motors for min cost.
Problem: Hook Pin Break Sensor
A multiaxial glass fabric manufacturer had old lines which also had old hook conveyor pins that holds & carries the layed glass layers until the stitch head. The deformed or broken pins caused gaps in the fabrics and led to 2nd quality materials.
BTU-TECH Approach
BTU-TECH had to develop a sensor system not only to detect and log the deformations but also work integrated to the multiaxial line.
RESULT
BTU-TECH created the “industry-first” sensor system for detection, logging of pin deformations and apply the QA protocol defined by the customer either stopping the machine to change the pins or continuing but logging the deformations and breaks.
Problem: Take Up System
The reinforcement manufacturer had an old generation multiaxial line which had a take-up system with mechanical coupling that made it difficult and manual to adjust the tension of critical fabrics with high quality criteria.
BTU-TECH Approach
BTU-TECH had to not only make a mechanical upgrade but also a separate software and control box to solve the problem.
RESULT
BTU-TECH developed the “Take-Up System” that includes a very precise driving motor that works integrated to the transport chain of the multiaxial line and which also had a separate control box for manual adjustments when needed. The system became fully automated preventing unexpected tension problems.
