Plotters for the production of formwork for pre-cast concrete elements
A large-scale plotter was designed for the production of pre-cast concrete house elements which sprays on the CAD data as markers for the shafts in the intermediate ceiling slabs. Since the plotter, realized by the company E-T-A Elektrotechnische Apparate GmbH, has been in use, errors owing to incorrect formwork have been practically eliminated.
The 18 m x 2.5 m path route is controlled by a MODAK300.
Washing machine testing system for the Stiftung Warentest 100-hour test
80 systems test the washing machines manufactured by AEG Household Appliances according to the specified criteria in 3-shift operation. At each test station actuators work the knobs and buttons and sensors register the speed of the drum, measure the temperature and establish the unbalance of the machine.
Around 110 MOCONs with additional relay and analog input cards each control two to three axes via the CAN network. The results from the individual measurement stations are supplied to the central evaluation computer via the CAN bus.
Positioning ton-weight panels and coiling antennae in shipbuilding
HDW, a company which builds commercial ships, military ships and underwater craft, uses a whole series of control systems for positioning tasks. For example, the outer shell of a submarine is welded using a round welding system whose axle is guided by a MODAK for surface welding in spirals.
With the aid of a MODAK300 the 45 m x 20 m steel plates for commercial ships, which are 6 cm thick and up to 1200 metric tons in weight, are positioned in a three-axle plate shifting plant to be welded together.
GRP-antennae up to 10 m long are also wound at HDW. For this two-axis control system EEW GmbH also used a MODAK.
