YKK Project: Automatic adhesive machine MU 7 Mak Fu Shun Kong Yau Choi Lee Man Kit Poon San On Zen
Introduction • YKK Hong Kong Limited established in 1966. • As a subsidiary of YKK Corporation. • One of the biggest corporation in producing and selling zippers.
Introduction • Co-operate with YKK Co. to design an extended automatic adhesive machine. Existed Automatic adhesive machine
Introduction Our job is to design a machine to stick the other two sides. (More complicated) YKK Co. now can only stick the tape onto the middle region of the box. (Easier task)
Initial Design 1 The cylinder with a plate to push the box forward. At this region, here are the 2 adhesive machines given from YKK, which are not shown to reduce complicated drawing. The result are like above, only half is attached!
Initial Design 2 Each set has 2 cylinders, first the horizontal ones extends to touch the box.
Initial design 2 Vincent
Once the box press the senor, cylinder will push the box to the second conveyer. Therefore, the box can change the direction. Sensor
Initial Design 3 Eddie
Initial design 3 smoother brush
Initial design 4 By Jason
Step 1 : To push the box into conveyor
Step 2 : Stick adhesive paper on the box
Step 3 : Rotational cylinders press the adhesive paper firmly
Final Step : Cylinders press adhesive paper firmly
The different between new design and old design New Design Old Design
Old Design New Design
Main support : Hold the upper support and adjust the height for different boxes size
Parts : Cylinder Linear Bearing
Upper Support : Hold the all the main part of adhesive machine and adjust the wide
BOM • Two Adhesive machines • 9 Cylinders • 6 linear bearings • 22 Sensors • 1 PLC model • 1 Touch Panel • Long/Uncut Profiles, Cables…
Planning of works • Profiles cutting & Surface finishing ~1.5 weeks (due to change of design) • Holes drilling ~5 days • Construction of frames ~2.5 days • Mounting parts for cylinders installed on frame ~2 weeks • PLC & Touch Panel Programming learning ~ 1.5 days • Simens PLC Programming Simulation and testing ~ 3 days • PLC programming drafting ~1.5 days • PLC programming design ~3 days • Touch Panel programming design ~2.5 days • Testing & Debugging on working condition of touch Panel connecting with PLC. ~2 days • Installation & connection of PLC, Touch Paneland solenoid valve using cables ~3 days (PLC & TP finished by 24 June.) • Website making ~1.5 weeks, continuously • Modification on the design ~1 week • Whole machine testing and debugging ~2 days
Machining Machining
Machining Workshop • Milling Machine- holes drilling- surface finishing • Sawing Machine-cutting Profiles
Milling Machine • Increase the smoothness of the surface • Rotating speed • Cooling liquid
Milling Machine • Drilling holes • Milling Surfaces
Milling Machine • Drilling holes- Center Drill- corresponding dia Drill, E.g. 6 mm dia Drill (different sizes)- 26-mm dia Drill- Boring tool • Cautions
Milling Machine • Milling Surfaces- Milling Cutter (different sizes) • Cautionsdo not mill deeply& too fast
Milling Machine • Products
Sawing Machine • Cautions- adding cooling liquid Increase the smoothness of the surface- cutting error shortermilling surface
NCM Workshop • Electro-Discharge Machine (EDM)- Wire Cut (the shaft is too hard) • Cautions- Flammable Liquid
Difficulties in Machining • High Precision-squareness-same length • Some holes are too big to drill • Linear bearing shaft- too hard (strong steel) • Thread not matched - Straight Adaptor does not fit cylinder provided by YKK
System Control • Pneumatics /Cylinders Connect to input devices Sensor Both Input & Output Connect to Touch Panel Connect to output devices Solenoid Valves
Why use PLC? • Cost effective. • High stability and flexibility. • Can work under adverse environment. • Easy programming. • Plenty input and output addresses, moreover extendable.
Input & Output addresses 24 Input Addresses (All used) 000: Touch Sensor 001: Retraction sensor of Long Cylinder. 002:Extension sensor of Long Cylinder. 003-010: Built-in sensors of Cylinders. 011: Big Box button. 100-107: Built-in sensors of Cylinders. 108-109:External Photoelectric Sensor. 110: Start Button 111:Reset Button 16 Output Addresses: (10 used) 1000-1100:Cylinders 1101: Blocking unit
Why use Touch Panel? • Can emulate buttons & switches easily. Reduce complication. • Can emulate lights. Check output status. • Shows the input & output status. Check the operating process. • Easy Programming. High efficiency.
Touch Panel Programming Press Start button sensors triggers, machine works on itself.
Status of Sensors & Cylinders LC: long cylinder RC: rotational cylinder BC: Brush cylinder boxes counter: use Sensor to sense the box, and add 1 each time.
Testing Test on Touch Panel with PLC Test on PLC Program Test if PLC reacts exactly to the commands of Touch Panels. Use Dip-Switch to emulate the sensors and buttons.
