Flying saw
The flying saw: setting parameters instead of programming
Drive application: Flying saw
Endless material must be cut to length - the classic job for
the "flying saw." Before the cutting process
starts, the saw must be synchronized, during the cutting
process, the saw must move synchronously with the material
and, at the end, it must return to the start position to
begin the cycle again.
The "Flying Saw" module can also be used to
realize other applications with a similar cycle, for
example, synchronous material transportation, filling
stations or "flying punches."
There are two ways of generating the start signal for
synchronization:
The solution with MOVIDRIVE®
Set parameters instead of programming
The SEW “Flying Saw” application module is a component
of the MOVIDRIVE® software package MOVITOOLS®
MotionStudio. The user-friendly interface guides you through
the process of entering the parameters. Only those
parameters required for the specific application, such as
cutting lengths and engaging distance, must be entered.
The application module uses this information to create the
control program, then loads it onto the inverter. MOVIDRIVE®
then takes over the entire motion control.
Wide range of functions
No matter how large the variety of applications for your
"flying saw," the wide range of functions provided
by the application module provides the right solution for
every task.
- Choice of fieldbus or terminal control.
- Specification of different cut lengths via terminals
or fieldbus.
- Cut edge protection or singling using the "Draw
gap" function.
- Immediate cut function by manual interrupt.
Movement control with IPOSplus®
A significant feature of the MOVIDRIVE® drive
inverter used with the applications modules is the
integrated IPOSplus® positioning and sequence
control system. Based on the specifications, an IPOSplus®
program in MOVIDRIVE® controls the entire
motion sequence with the application module as
machine-oriented as possible.
The advantages at a glance
- User-friendly user interface.
- Only the parameters needed for the application must be
entered.
- Guided parameter setting process instead of
complicated programming.
- Optional cut length control or cut length control with
label sensor.
- During operation, all important data is displayed on
the monitor.
- All movement control is carried out by the IPOSplus®
program in MOVIDRIVE®
- Simple integration into higher-level machine control
systems is possible via fieldbus.
