Control system design for the new forming machine of high-speed traveller

A control system of the new forming machine of high-speed traveller is designed in the research. The system is made up of feeding, wire feeding, forming, human-computer interaction, and feedback alarm. Programmable controller (PLC)is used as the control core, servo motors and asynchronous motors are used as power sources, and the traditional cam drive is replaced by a synchronous belt drive. The fuzzy position positioning algorithm is applied to ensure the consistency of blanking length. Meanwhile, stepless speed change and high-speed operation of the forming spindle are realized by controlling the output frequency. The touch screen is the monitoring equipment of the upper computer, which realizes the mechatronics through the feedback of the sensors in each station. By calculation, the production efficiency of the machine is 1.5 times that of the old at rated power operation and the quality error is reduced to within ± 1.37%.
