AUXILIARIES SMILE CONTROL SYSTEM SMILE – the system that puts life into machines The following two aspects concerning the operation of extrusion machines are very important: The SMILE control system is a great progress, which makes it much easier for to the customer to operate the line. Our engineers offer the user a visible concept, where all the needed technical procedures are explained. This system makes it possible for operators to easily understand the functions of the machine. Our aim is to reach highest satisfaction on the customer’s side – we want to provide a product which fulls all expectations. The performance of every extrusion line depends very much on its several production processes and procedures. The optimal control of temperature, pressure, speed or tension does have an enormous inuence on nal product quality. • High reliability and uptime of an extrusion line is a must. Any malfunction an uptime of any part of the machine, or even a small failure on any mechanical Main advantages: or electrical unit inside the machine, which causes a machine stop, needs to be found out and remedied • Central operation touch-screen monitor, showing as quickly as possible. Therefore, an ideal the whole process and displaying all relevant data. diagnostics system is an absolute prerequisite. • Integrated temperature control • Integrated online data link to the gravimetric SML meets those requirements with the implementation dosing system of the SMILE control system in every SML extrusion • Central control of all production parameters and machine. The SMILE control system is responsible for access to every existing control parameter the technical control of the highly advanced machines. depending on selected user level Therefore we use high-quality hardware in combination • Automatic line speed-up and speed-down function with the best specic software. This way, we make sure • Industrial Ethernet Powerlink connection to that our extrusion plants fully live up to our customer’s decentral I/O point needs. Nowadays, SML machines are controlled by B&R based hardware. • AUSTRIA - EUROPE EMAIL: [email protected]

AUXILIARIES SMILE CONTROL SYSTEM Furthermore, we are able to execute the following actions via remote links: On the SML monitor, we provide a detailed display of all current and historical alarms of any installed converter. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to go online with an other software tool. Remote maintenance features: • Detailed examination of the complete hardware system, such as CPU, I/O cards, converters, etc. Alarm Management used to analyse current errors and their history Presentation used to analyse process parameters and production data Help system, service and maintenance...
