Project : Air Bag ball welder
Hardware : Allen Bradley SLC 5/04 and PanelView 600
This machine was tailor built to the customers needs and specification. The machine has three control sequences (Main control, Ball loading and Barcode reader). The software was tested before commissioning began with our software simulator, so on-site commissioning was keep to a minimum. The machine was running in automatic at the end of the first day's commissioning. The movie shows the machine in testing and in production, you can also see the HMI screen with the status message updating as the machine is working.

Project : Traverse Cars
Hardware : 2 x Siemens S5 115U 944 with Pilz Line Displays
Two Autoclaves were added to the existing factory to increase the factory's capacity. So the existing Traverse Cars (which loads and unloads the Autoclaves) needed software modification, and the customer decided to have the system rewritten in our structurce format to reduce downtime time by implmenting diagnostic messages. The software commissioning was keep to a minimum by include the new software in the PLC with the old one, this was done so the systems could be swapped between each systems during commissioning. The movie shows the Traverse cars in production, you can also see the Pilz display with the status message updating as the Traverse cars are working.

Project : Laser Profile
Hardware : PC, KUKA Robot and Laser
This project was to fit the door sill rubber to different car body door aperture. We developed the Visial Basic program which reads the data from the Laser and sends it to the KUKA robot via Ethernet as a point to follow. The robot does not have the path programmed and is following the data sent. The movie shows the robot in development following the door path from the Visial Basic PC program.
