Design of Management and Control System of Aero-engine Nozzle Processing Line

Abstract

This paper introduces a kind of management and control system of machining production line for aero-engine nozzle. The main logistics is based on the logic control of PLC, which can dispatch a robot to realize the automatic transfer of the parts between workstations, automatic feeding and unloading of processing and testing equipment. Workstations are equipped with RFID to detect the identification of each nozzle. The system can reconstruct the process route according to the nozzle type, associate processing and test data of the nozzle with their identification number to establish the processing file. It realizes data exchanges between management and control systems by OPC interface, achieves centralized monitoring and control of the equipment of the whole line and improves the informatization level of workshop.
