The new approach placed higher demands on motion control and collision detection than classic stackers
Siemens was involved in the development
project from the very start and assisted the Grenzebach engineers with
developing the concept and selecting suitable control and drive
technology.
Virtual
mechatronic model of the stacker that could be simulated and optimized in detail
on a PC. Specialists from Siemens contributed a mathematical model for
Simotion.
The
digital twin was created using the NX Mechatronics Concept Designer (MCD)
software.
A
hardware-in-the-loop setup (via SIMIT) was chosen to realistically simulate the
programmed motion sequences on the digital twin.
"This initial project has already proven that the digital twin saves both costs and development time and helps minimize risks,”
Roland Jenning, head of innovation at Grenzebach
Faster time-to-market
Saving both costs and development time
Minimizing risks
Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH is a international high-tech company supplying plant units for many industries, e.g. flat glass
Grenzebach introduces a new tin-air speed stacker for stacking float-glass sheets at the cold end of glass production in 10-2018.
The new approach placed higher demands on motion control and collision detection than classic stackers.
Perfected on the digital twin
Grenzebach introduces a new tin-air speed stacker – the first to be virtually optimized.
