The Control System Design of Copper Sleeve Press-Fit Machine

Abstract:

The copper sleeve press-fit machine is a kind of device applied in automobile parts processing. The machine is used to press nine copper sleeves into a mold with nine holes. An automatic control system based on PLC is designed. CPU 224 of Siemens S7-200 series PLC is adopted as the core controller. The machine can be operated by either the human-machine interface or the pushbutton panel. There are all ten cylinders in this machine. The operation sequence and interlock protection of the ten cylinders are controlled by the PLC. In this system there are some necessary fault alarms and protective measures. The machine can be operated in manual mode or automatic mode. The press-fit machine is designed to operate simple with the high degree of automation and reliability, thereby saving work force and enhancing the efficiency of automobile parts production.
