KAPP NILES

Coburg Germany

KAPP NILES
Coburg,
Germany
  • KAPP NILES is among the global leaders of machines and tools for the fine processing of gears and profiles. 
  • Highest precision is required for transmissions to reach their optimum drive or for industrial robots to work with highest accuracy down to the millimeter. 
  • KAPP NILES equips its gear centers with intelligent clamping devices and tools. The SIMATIC RF200 product portfolio forms the technical basis.
SIMATIC RF200 solution based on OPC UA standard 
  • MDS D521 transponders installed in the tools and clamping devices. 
  • The data is read out via the mobile read-and write device RF210M and transmitted to the communication module RF185C. The module is the interface to the software platform KN assist of KAPP NILES.
“The machine recognizes the respective component, calculates the required transport distances, and reduces set-up-triggered collision risks”
André Wetz, product manager for networked technologies, KAPP NILES
  • Higher process and manufacturing quality 
  • Reduced risk of collision by comparing installed with intended components 
  • More effective set-up process 
  • Efficient wear monitoring and support for planning 
  • Avoid incorrect entries through automatic data transfer
