MTorres, has a long and recognized track record in supplying converting machine equipment capable of meeting most demanding unwinding / rewinding process requirements. While leading the market in laminating procesess of composite materials. Furthermore, they manufactured wind mills and are specialized in the aeronautic industry.
Objectives: High performance, process productivity, machine availability and service quality are the main objectives of MTorres. Challenges:

• Accurate web tension control for optimal product quality
• Need for precise web behavior models for virtual commissioning
• New substrates along with sustainability requirements to understand the physical behavior of material in the process.

MTorres seeks to strengthen the Virtual Commissioning by integrating detailed physical simulation models of their Paper Converting Machines. This allows automation tests, controller validations, process & material changes or different activation sequences in a virtual environment without time-intensive test runs or building costly prototypes.
Software used: Simcenter Amesim plus Multiphysics Package including the Converting Toolbox library, Functional Mockup Unit (FMU), SIMIT, PLCSIM Advanced Supply customer with tailored physical models of their machines as standalone FMU to be used in virtual commissioning
