Automation By Using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Application on Metal Spinning Machine at YIC

Abstract

This research is to find an approach to how PLC automation control system can implemented, In designing anew PLC control automation replacing an old automation in metal spinning machine, which is composed of contactors (5) &a lot of pieces of electro-mechanical relays.(37).In this old automation a lot of difficulties in trouble shooting in repairing of wiring connections, which add cost to production process. By using programmable logic controllers (PLC) for hydraulic metal spinning machine at YIC ,machine process gain many advantages compared to the old automation type such as reducing in space ,energy saving, product cost, working labors& losses in time due maintenance. Beside that increasing productivity, greater reliability & effectively in totally eliminating the possibilities of human errors. New PLC automation give convenient, quick readjustment & functional parameters upon work pieces changes &precise cycle repeating which lead to high quality products &decreasing of waste.
