TIP C 1310 Replacement of obsolete Micromatik (μM) drive systems by Sinamics/Simotion components

Machine Model for Improvement

Description of Improvement

This upgrade is part of our Technical Improvement Program (TIP) and replaces the obsolete Micromatik (μM) drive(s) and drive control systems by new Sinamics/Simotion components.

This TIP is applicable for all E.C.H. Will cut-size sheeters equipped with a Micromatik (μM) drive system for:

• Cross cutter
• Overlapping shaft
• Main draw roll
• Hole punch unit
• Tape section

The current installed Micromatik drive and drive control components will be replaced by a Siemens Sinamics/Simotion system.

The Micromatik electrical cabinets will be replaced by new completely pre-assembled electrical cabinets. The dimensions of the new electrical cabinets will be equal to the currently installed Micromatik electrical cabinets.

Most AC motors can remain as they are, however, some of the installed motors might be obsolete and might need to be replaced as well. This will be evaluated from case to case.

Note: The existing machine controls (PLC) & HMI remain as they are. In some cases the HMI needs to be replaced.
