Here
is HED® International, Inc.'s master control center where
production variables such as
temperature profile, gradient and atmosphere
flow can be adjusted and controlled precisely.
And this gets even better, with our human machine interface
system you get a simplified operator interface and graphic
displays that provide essential information and ease
of control leaving almost nothing to chance which minimizes
the need for operator intervention.
With our HMI system, what you see is what you get. Its
easy to use, shortens operator training time and dramatically
increases productivity.
Here we can only touch on the
hmi system to give you a glimpse of its versatility.
For
instance, this Overview screen displays
the entire casting operation at a glance, showing all of the
critical process values. Our intuitive menu bar gives you a
simple, fast way to access specific operator screens.
For
example, selecting Interlocks, displays
the system interlocks screen. Here you can quickly see whether
or not all system conditions are "okay" and can start or stop
the casting process. We've also included a recipe button to
allow pre-configured operating recipes to be selected and downloaded
on the fly.
The
Heaters screen displays the temperatures
of the heat zones in the oven. Simply select modify setpoints
to establish a precise drying temperature profile.
The
Drive screen displays the conveyor and
tape carrier speed. Adjustments made on this screen are controlled
by a closed loop system connected to a digital tachometer and
product thickness monitor.
The
Fans screen displays fan speed which
defines the atmosphere flow and exhaust rate. These can be adjusted
manually or set to automatic control via Pro-Cast's "LEL" solvent
vapor detection system to establish a precise solvent gradient
across the oven.
The
Clock screen displays the controls for
automatic start and stop programming of the production operation.
The
Alarms screen displays the status of
alarms including date and time stamps, history and help screens
along with provisions for memos and commentary.
And
then there's more. Pro-Cast's powerful Real Time
and Historical Trending capabilities
make it possible to manage your production and stay way ahead
of the competition. In fact, this hmi system is completely
scalable and can be used throughout your factory to provide
solutions from the production line to the back office. Its
quite possibly the most versatile human machine interface
on the planet.
There is nothing else on the market like this new Pro-Cast
tape casting machine. Just imagine what it can do for you.
