Development of an automated system for stack cutting machine of rolling production

Abstract

The article describes the development of an automated system for a batch cutting machine for rolling production. The use of an automated control system is substantiated, as well as the development of an automated control system that allows cutting 5 pipes diameter 40 mm at the same time. The rationale for the need to improve production efficiency by modernizing the algorithm of the machine and introducing new automation elements into its composition is presented. The analysis of the technological process of the batch cutting section was carried out. A functional diagram of automation has been developed. A description of each element of the functional diagram of automation and the purpose of its main functions are presented. The development of algorithms and visualization of the technological process of the automated system of the batch cutting machine was carried out. Modeling of a typical technological mode of operation of a batch cutting machine has been carried out. An automated system of a batch cutting machine has been developed, which makes it possible to increase the service life of circular saws by ensuring a uniform load on the teeth of a circular saw, with a general increase in production volumes. An estimate of capital costs has been compiled, maintenance and operation costs have been calculated after the introduction of the developed automated system. According to calculations, the developed automated system of the batch cutting machine will pay off in 2.8 years, and the profitability index is 1.07.
