Control system engineering for four special-purpose production machines at DeRaKo
Raymond's long-standing collaboration with DeRaKo: control design and software for four machines used to produce grill ceiling systems. With clear responsibilities for concept, mechanics, EPLAN, panel building and controls.
- Business outcome
- Four special-purpose machines equipped with control software for grill ceiling production.
The project
From mechanical concept to machine control.
Four special-purpose machines were needed to produce DeRaKo grill ceilings. Raymond designed the controls and wrote the software. DeRaKo described what the machines needed to do. The parties involved developed the mechanics, electrical drawings and panels.
Four machines
Grill assembly machine 1
Grill assembly machine 2: further development for increased capacity
Drilling and sawing machine
Double cut-off saw
Who did what?
Four parties, four parts of the work.
DeRaKo
Mechanical concept and design, process description and machine functionality.
Blom Opmeer
Mechanical construction and construction.
NewIO / Alex Keurentjes
Electrical schematics in EPLAN and control cabinet construction.
Raymond Consen-Tump
Control system design, PLC architecture and control software for the four machines.
Controls connecting the disciplines
Raymond provided the control design and software for all four machines. The machines are used in DeRaKo's production process. The precise mechanical solutions, production sequences and technical implementation remain confidential.
GCG draws on this experience in its current project approach: connecting electrical, software and execution while explicitly agreeing responsibilities for mechanics, panel building and automation.
