Those corrugators are producing continuous piping thanks to a removable mold train propelled by synchronized servomotor-driven axes. The following problems were occurring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-gris-pale-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>No more support from the machine\u2019s manufacturer<\/li><li>Closed technology made troubleshooting or third-party improvements impossible<\/li><li>No local technical support, leading to major production losses in case of breakdowns<\/li><li>Bad servo control of the servomotors causing premature wear of the machine mechanics<\/li><li>Reduced operating speed due to bad servo control, causing a decrease of production<\/li><li>Dangerous machine putting operators at risk of injury<\/li><li>Long setup time when changing mold size<\/li><li>Variation in production quality depending on the operator<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">Mandate<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gris-pale-color has-text-color\">To address those problems, Lem Technologies worked closely with Soleno to pave the way for a successful modernization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-gris-pale-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>Analysis of the corrugator\u2019s current and desired operation by observing and by discussing with operators, mechanics and production supervisors<\/li><li>Validating if the existing mechanics could be reused and suitable for a modernization of the controls<\/li><li>Functional description and risk analysis to clearly define the expected outcome of the modernization and to ensure controls are secured<\/li><li>Design of a new control panel allowing to achieve the objectives of the modernization without having to change mechanical and drive components<\/li><li>Electrical installation of the new panel<\/li><li>Programming and start-up<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">Benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gris-pale-color has-text-color\">Soleno can take full advantage of its corrugators since the modernization, which has provided the following benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-gris-pale-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>Production quality consistency thanks to production recipe management, which automatically&nbsp;adjusts the&nbsp;parameters independently of the operator<\/li><li>Elimination of unplanned breakdowns thanks to the reliability of the new control panel<\/li><li>Reduction of mechanical wear thanks to the performance of the new servo control<\/li><li>Increase of production speed<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","mandat":[23,28,25],"class_list":["post-262","realisation","type-realisation","status-publish","hentry","mandat-functional-analysis","mandat-increase-production-equipment-efficiency","mandat-machine-safety"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwgrs6j09qz.c.updraftclone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/realisation\/262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwgrs6j09qz.c.updraftclone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/realisation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwgrs6j09qz.c.updraftclone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/realisation"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwgrs6j09qz.c.updraftclone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"mandat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwgrs6j09qz.c.updraftclone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mandat?post=262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
