The Erga-Novaglass company had an old milling-boring machine in its workshop SKODA WH160, but with mechanics in excellent condition. The five analog servo drives were inefficient and required constant manual maintenance.
The programs produced by the CAM in the office arrived on the machine only via floppy disk.
ISAC offered a Compact CNC, conveniently housed in the electrical cabinet. The CNC incorporates a digital interface (Emerson SLM) for the axes to be moved, so the drives have been replaced with new digitally connected products.
The CNC also shares some folders over the Ethernet network so you can download programs directly from the office. It also publishes all production information to external monitoring programs to monitor the machine's productivity over time.
The PLC logic required adjustments to fit the original electrical panel, which were completed in a few hours and tested first on a simulator and then on the machine.
