Case Details
Tissue Paper - Folding MachineA tissue paper manufacturing line includes folding, cutting, single packing, middle packing, final packaging, palletizing, and conveying processes. It is used in the production of soft tissue paper, handkerchief paper, and other similar products. The folding machine is the first station on the manufacturing line. It cuts, overlaps, and stacks the roll of raw paper to achieve the set number of tissues, separates and compacts it into long strips, and then automatically conveys them to the next station, the cutting machine.
Industry ChallengesLow Capacity:
Insufficient capacity per unit. To increase capacity, end-users typically use two paper stacking machines simultaneously, integrating them into a single paper cutter, increasing line costs.
Diverse Machine Models, Inconvenient After-Sales Maintenance:
End-users have diverse choices, including multiple layers, embossing, traction, single/double insertion, half-folding, etc. Equipment manufacturers essentially need to modify the program for each machine, overwhelming OEMs with high service volumes and maintenance costs.
Difficult Operation, Prone to Errors:
Customers experience operational difficulties and insufficient error prevention after large-scale production. Limited by the program framework and the variety of machine models, these issues cannot be resolved; the machines are usable but have a high learning curve.
High Electrical Failure Rate, Short Lifespan:
End-user production environments are characterized by high dust and static electricity, leading to frequent alarms, short lifespans, and high replacement frequency for servo motors.
Solution FeaturesDual-pronged approach of hardware and software to overcome capacity bottlenecks:
Addressing the speed bottleneck in paper insertion (requiring speed, smoothness, and stability), the hardware, For ultra-light inertia motors, the software utilizes a crank model, T-curve, and servo vibration suppression, achieving paper insertion action of <140ms.
Model management FB (Full-Frame) allows a single program to handle multiple machine models. FB configurations are available for various machine models, including those with different layer counts, embossing, traction, single/double insertion, and half-folding mechanisms. HMI selection and configuration, automatic PLC axis control, and a freely networked dynamic operation bus help OEMs overcome the challenges of multiple machine models and extensive after-sales maintenance.
A foolproof mechanism lowers the operator's barrier to entry. Continuous collection, countermeasures, and iterations are used to address shortcomings in existing customer solutions and identify new improvement points, optimizing solutions to achieve ultimate stability and lowering the operator's barrier.
Stable and reliable product quality. The ZP motors series of high-stability servo motors, coupled with shielded twisted-pair high-quality cables, ensures stable equipment production.
Realizing valueSpeed 150 meters/minute, 25% increase in production capacity.
OEM Reduced from 5+ procedures to 1, maintenance costs decreased by 80%.
Added 10+ error-proofing measures, lowering the learning curve for operators by 20%.
End-stage production is virtually trouble-free, with stability improved by 66%.
