Case Study
12-Axis Honing Machine Using Siemens SIMOTION in Scout TIA
Summary DMC created a standard architecture in Siemens' SIMOTION Scout that has been used on a dozen large and small honing machines. This project involved building a new machine based on that architecture and was used to control a three-station honing machine with a complete part handling system and an automatic gage system. Customer Benefits Standardized programming structure for rapid development and easier maintenance Flexible gage control that can be used on many other machines as needed Collaborative engineering between DMC and customer Technologies Siemens SIMOTION D435 Motion Controller Siemens Comfort Panel 12 SINAMICS S120 servo drives Siemens Scout TIA V4.4 Solution The customer’s 12-Axis Honing Machine included a three-station honing system that incrementally honed the part to
