Use case: grinding machine

A decisive criterion for grinding machines is the speed accuracy. The workpiece can be machined optimally with only a small difference in the grinding process. Due to the large grinding rolls and vibratable coupling elements it is often difficult to make the controller setting at the machine. In the past, situations have repeatedly occurred during start-up in which the speed accuracy could only be achieved with a great deal of work and machine damage occurred.

This problem can be solved by ProSimulation. Why? Because the software enables the drive behavior to be tested virtually. ��That��s great! On the one hand we can test new settings quickly and easily, on the other hand there is no risk of damaging the machine��, explained applications engineer Timotheus Eidher.

The settings found in ProSimulation were able to increase the speed accuracy in the production process by a factor of 7. This meant a significant improvement of the grinding result. The virtual data set optimization produced a large reduction in the commissioning time, since the settings could be tested quickly and easily in ProSimulation even without the real machine. Further, the system limits could be explored through to overloading and swinging up, without running the risk of affecting the mechanics.
