  • The matching wheels have to be delivered to the customer at the right time. However, the complexity and great variety of tires and rim dimensions make production more difficult
  • Energy losses have to be reduced
 
Under pressure. Within one second, the new tire inflation bell fills every incoming tire at the desired pressure, with an accuracy of 0.05 bar.

  • SINAMICS S120 drive system - up to 22% of the drive energy is saved
  • TIA Portal - more and more measurement data has to be recorded and collected during the tire fitting process TIA Portal can assign the constantly growing amount of data to the relevant wheel during the process. This ensures more effective and simpler work
  • SIMATIC S7-1516 PLC controls the tire inflation process and uses RFID to check whether each tire matches the tire seal ring
  • SIRIUS ACT pushbuttons connected with flat ribbon cable and a direct connection to PLC
  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Reduced space requirements with the same performance
  • Reduction of additional costs thanks to automation and digitalization
 
The wheel dimensions fitted on the conveyor belts of the automotive industry now range from 14-inch spare wheels to enormous 24-inch wheels. Faced with this challenge, Hofmann Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH decided to switch to Siemens drive technology back in 2014.
