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
