Roll forming machine tools to network and information
As the network technology, the Internet into increasingly common use workshop is just a question of time, this will be the main symbolization of digital manufacturing.
From another perspective, the enterprise resource planning if confined to business management department (human, financial, material, production, supply and sale) or design and development, enterprise informatization of upper is far insufficient, the workshop bottom processing equipment, nc machine tools can not connect networks or information, that will inevitably become the bottleneck of restricting manufacturing informatization. So, for the modern manufacturing factories, in addition to improving the rate of nc machine tools, more make owned CNC machine, high-speed networking with two-way communication function, in order to ensure that the information in the workshop on the bottom of the upper layer between and among unimpeded communications with.
For example, Japan launched a new generation of Mazak company machining center is not only the tools and machining process, also equipped with automatic exchange information (called a Tower - e) external devices, including computers, mobile phones, machine and machine, can achieve inside the camera etc, graphics, video and speech communication function of text. This machine and production planning and scheduling network real-time processing machine working condition and reflects the schedule. Operators must fingerprint identified permissions on screen, processing, observe the alarming display, online help eliminate. It is independent, independent management unit.
The enterprise production plan scheduling system arrangement of processing tasks, sending a message to the tower. Information to the operator instruction, tower in the real-time display screen machine working condition. According to the operation instructions operator screen. Problem, can refer to the computer operation manual. Under normal circumstances, machine, automatic machine operators and work on time and space are separated. Managers are equipped with mobile operators and, through mobile phones can query processing, production condition and is expected to finish time delay report and fault alarm.
Machine malfunction, screen will show the methods of maintenance center Mazak company, can see the problem, provide timely help, reduce machine downtime.
