Full Control System, The new way to manage sanding lines

  • Features & Benefits

As a result of more than 15 years of innovation and evolution, the Full Control System™ from IMEAS allows to adjust each sanding unit by means of a servo-drive system simply typing its target position.

The use of “recipes” makes it easy to store & recall customized working configurations of the sanding units as well as the use of “sanding policies” allows to correct the abrasive belts wearing automatically during the sanding process. With IMEAS FCS the sanding line can operates in close-loop with thickness measuring systems.

Customers who implement the FCS system will benefit from:

Cost Reduction: the remote management capabilities together with the process optimization of FCS allows to reduce the direct sanding operating costs up to 15%.

Integration: data exchange with ERP systems, and thickness measurement devices for automatic setup of operating parameters from the Control Room.

Flexibility: the use of open standards allows for a tailor-made configuration of the system, warnings, working recipes and sanding policies. FCS can be installed on existing lines, too.

Control: the sanding line can now be fully managed remotely, including setup for product change and actual working parameters. The sensors feedback provides a valuable source of data for both trend and quality evaluation

Optimization: based on specific product characteristics it is possible to optimize the process in terms of energy and consumables consumption.

Management: it is possible to implement security levels for multi-user access, to monitor the system functionality and network connections, and to find specific data of the components for maintenance or other purposes.

Easiness of use: a synoptic view of the sanding line together with a rational graphical interface and local language support make it easy to use the FCS thus drastically reducing the learning curve.

 

The Full Control System (FCS) includes the following functions.

Sanding line working parameters:

  • Speed adjustment
  • Thickness adjustment
  • Individual units positioning with resolution of 0,01mm (either manual or by recipes)
  • Incremental unit positioning on each unit (either manual and by sanding policies)
  • Start & Stop of each unit
  • Start & Stop of the feeding system

Sanding line status/info:

  • Detailed information on key components
  • Motors load (actual & historical) of each motor
  • Hi-speed bearings temperature
  • Actual belt position (left/right)
  • Belt tensioning system status on each unit
  • Belt tracking system status on each unit
  • Belt breaking sensors on each unit
  • Brake pads status on each unit
  • Time counter (total & partial)
  • Boards counter (total & partial)

FCS configuration management:

  • Recipes management
  • Sanding policies management
  • Configurable warnings
  • Configurable alarms
  • Configurable maintenance tasks

Users and locale settings:
