Solution for Aluminum Profile End Milling Machine

Multiple working modes, high stability, and efficient production

With the increasing demand for aluminum materials in various industries, the demand for aluminum material traction machines has further increased. Xinje has developed a system for the aluminum equipment industry traction machine market, which uses three PLCs for wireless communication and EtherCAT bus control scheme. It has the characteristics of multiple operation forms, high production efficiency, and strong stability.

Industry background

Aluminum traction machine is a key equipment for producing aluminum and aluminum alloy profiles in conjunction with extrusion machines. The main purpose of aluminum traction machine is to automatically pull and cut aluminum materials. The front-end equipment extrudes a shaped aluminum rod, and the traction of the traction machine can make the extruded aluminum rod less prone to deformation, effectively avoiding twisting, bending, waves, etc. after the profile is molded.

It has multiple operation forms, high production efficiency, and strong stability.

Control solution

The control system uses an EtherCAT bus control solution, which supports large communication data volumes and offers high safety and stability, enhancing precision and efficiency. It is paired with CNC software on the host computer and XDH series PLCs to achieve motion control. The software includes both automatic and manual tool distribution systems, allowing customers to choose whether to use the system to automatically allocate tools based on groove width and depth or to manually allocate tools after assembling special tools. Combined with the dual spindle system, Spindle 1 can rotate to switch between horizontal and vertical tools. It features a free tool combination system that allows the installation of combination tools, enabling the completion of multiple milling grooves in a single operation.

Solution advantages

Support scanning code to place orders

By using CNC software on the upper computer, it is possible to scan the code and call a pre saved file with the same name to achieve the function of scanning the code to place an order.

Bus control, stable and efficient

By using CNC software on the upper computer, it is possible to scan the code and call a pre saved file with the same name to achieve the function of scanning the code to place an order. Adopting EtherCAT servo control scheme, with a bus control synchronization period of 1ms, ensuring stability and high positioning accuracy of the control.

Automatic allocation of cutting tools

Equipped with automatic tool allocation function, it greatly reduces the workload of users, making the system more intelligent and simplified. The cutting logic algorithm is excellent, reducing the occurrence of empty tools.

Manual tool splitting

Equipped with manual tool splitting function, it allows users to independently allocate processing tools and processing sequences according to their preferences.

Dual spindle system

Paired with a dual spindle system, spindle 1 can switch between horizontal and vertical cutting, while spindle 2 can be equipped with combined cutting tools.
