Research, manufacturing, and automation of an industrial labeling machine
Company
Project developed by Surcontrol's R&D department, focused on the design and manufacture of customized industrial machinery adapted to specific production processes.
Challenge
Design and manufacture an industrial labeling machine from scratch, capable of operating accurately and configurably, integrating mechanical control, automation, and an intuitive user interface for the operator.
Problem
There was no commercial solution that met the requirements of the production process.
- Complete mechanical design of the machine.
- Development of the control and automation system from scratch.
- Programming of a PLC capable of managing motors, sensors, and actuators.
- Creation of an HMI that allowed critical parameters such as roller speed and machine behavior to be adjusted.
- Ensuring reliability, repeatability, and ease of use in an industrial environment.
Solution
How we do it?
- Complete mechanical design of the industrial labeling machine.
- Manufacturing and integration of mechanical and electrical components.
- PLC programming from scratch, controlling the entire machine cycle.
- Development of a customized HMI, allowing the operator to configure parameters such as speeds, operating modes, and production settings.
- Integration of automation to ensure process accuracy, stability, and repeatability.
- Commissioning and validation of the correct operation of the machine.
Results
- Fully functional, custom-developed industrial labeling machine.
- Precise control of key process parameters.
- Robust, repeatable system designed for industrial environments.
- Comprehensive solution combining mechanical design, automation, and control.
- Ability to adapt to future system upgrades or expansions.
