First, the system overview: The company's 16-zone single-screw extruder for machinery manufacturers, its control unit includes host heating system, host speed control system, traction control system, cutting control system and some safety protection functions. The working process, the screw barrel, the mold heating, after reaching the set temperature, keep warm for a certain period of time, open the host to squeeze the material, open the traction after discharging, set the cutting length on the screen, and start the cutting machine after reaching the set length. Second, the system requirements (1) Extrusion system The extrusion system includes a screw, a barrel, a hopper, a machine head, and a mold. The plastic is plasticized into a uniform melt through an extrusion system, and is continuously extruded by a screw through a mold under the pressure established in the process. Products. (2) Transmission system The function of the drive system is to drive the screw, providing the torque and speed required by the screw during the extrusion process, usually consisting of a motor, a reducer and a bearing. The most used drive currently is the inverter, and the stability of the inverter output is directly related to the stability of the extrusion. (3) Heating and cooling system Heating and cooling are essential for plastic extrusion: 1. Today's extruders usually use electric heating, which is divided into resistance heating and induction heating. The heating sheets are installed in the fuselage, the neck and the parts of the machine head. The plastic in the external heating cylinder is heated and installed to raise the temperature to reach the temperature required for the process operation. 2. Cooling installation is to ensure that the plastic is in the temperature range required by the process. Its function is to remove the excess heat generated by the shear friction of the screw rotation to prevent the temperature from being too high to make the plastic synthesis, scorch or stereotype difficult. The barrel cooling is divided into two types: water cooling and air cooling. The ordinary medium and small extruders are more suitable for air cooling. The large ones are mostly water cooled or separated by two methods. The screw cooling is mainly center oil cooling. The purpose is to increase the material solids. Rate, stable discharge, and improve product quality; but in the hopper cooling, first, in order to enhance the transport of solid materials, to avoid the plastic particles sticky to block the material due to temperature rise, the second is to ensure the local operation of the transmission. (4) Automatic control system The automatic control system includes a touch screen, a plc, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and some actuators. The automatic control system is an interface between the human and the machine. All the parameters of the machine must be set here, monitoring and starting and stopping of the machine. The degree of automation and reliability of a machine is reflected here.

There is screw insulation function to prevent the screw from starting when the material temperature is low. 8, can achieve the main pressure closed loop, traction pressure closed loop and other functions. 9, can achieve the pre-heating function of the whole machine. 10. It can detect whether the heating element is damaged or the thermocouple is broken. 11. It can prevent the screw from running on an empty stomach and avoid the phenomenon of sticking bars (holding shaft). 12, very convenient expansion features, such as weight loss feeding. 13. It is guaranteed that the 0Hz starting screw prevents the high-speed starting screw from damaging the equipment. At present, most domestic extruders adopt the scheme of temperature control table control. Although this scheme has the advantage of low price, it has great limitations in control functions. After adopting this scheme, the parameters of the whole extrusion process such as melt pressure and temperature, the temperature of each section of the fuselage, the speed of the screw and the traction, the feeding amount, the ratio of various raw materials, the current and voltage of the motor, etc. can be used. Online detection, and use its own inherent closed-loop control. This is extremely advantageous for ensuring the stability of the process conditions and improving the accuracy of the product. Using the human-machine interface and using the alarm information reflected by the human-machine interface, the staff can easily eliminate the fault. Increased production efficiency. The application areas of the above control schemes include: -Plastic profile extrusion line -Single wall, multi-wall and foam pipe extrusion line -Plastic sheet extrusion line -Plastic sheet extrusion line -Multi-machine co-extrusion production line, single-layer/multi-layer plastic film production line - Granulation production line -Aluminum-plastic composite pipe production line Fourth, the conclusion The control system achieves the intended purpose in the plastic extrusion system.

The system cost. The system is in good condition after being put into operation, and has been applied to multiple production lines, which brings objective benefits to customers and has a good application prospect.
Sheet metal forming processes are those in which force is applied to a piece of sheet metal to modify its geometry rather than remove any material. The applied force stresses the metal beyond its yield strength, causing the material to plastically deform, but not to fail. By doing so, the sheet can be bent or stretched into a variety of complex shapes. Sheet metal forming processes include the following:
l Bending
l Roll forming
l Deep Drawing
l Stretch forming
Bending
Bending is a metal forming process in which a force is applied to a piece of sheet metal, causing it to bend at an angle and form the desired shape. A bending operation causes deformation along one axis, but a sequence of several different operations can be performed to create a complex part. Bent parts can be quite small, such as a bracket, such as a large enclosure or chassis.
V bending and Wipe bending
Roll forming
Roll forming, is a metal forming process in which sheet metal is progressively shaped through a series of bending operations. The process is performed on a roll forming line. Each station has a roller, referred to as a roller die, positioned on both sides of the sheet. The shape and size of the roller die may be unique to that station, or several identical roller dies may be used in different positions. The roller dies may be above and below the sheet, along the sides, at an angle, etc. the roller dies are lubricated to reduce friction between the die and the sheet, thus reducing the tool wear. Also, lubricant can allow for a higher production rate, which will also depend on the material thickness, number of roll stations, and radius of each bend. The roll forming line can also include other Sheet Metal Fabrication operations before or after the roll forming, such as punching or shearing.
Deep drawing
Deep drawing is a metal forming process in which sheet metal is stretched into the desired part shape. A tool pushes downward on the sheet metal, forcing it into a die cavity in the shape of the desired part. The tensile forces applied to the sheet cause it to plastically deform into a cup-shaped part. Deep drawn parts are characterized by a depth equal to more than half of the diameter of the part. These parts can have a variety of cross sections with straight, tapered, or even curved walls, but cylindrical or rectangular parts are most common. Deep drawing is most effective with ductile metals, such as aluminum, brass, copper, and mild steel. Examples of parts formed with deep drawing include automotive bodies and fuel tanks, cans, cups, kitchen sinks, and pots and pans
Stretch Forming
Stretch forming is a metal forming process in which a piece of sheet metal is stretched and bent simultaneously over a die in order to form large contoured parts. Stretch forming is performed on a stretch press, in which a piece of sheet metal is securely gripped along its edges by gripping jaws. The gripping jaws are each attached to a carriage that is pulled by pneumatic or hydraulic force to stretch the sheet. The tooling used in this process is a stretch form block, called a form die, which is a solid contoured piece against which the sheet metal will be pressed. The most common stretch presses are oriented vertically, in which the form die rests on a press table that can be raised into the sheet by a hydraulic ram. As the form die is driven into the sheet, which is gripped tightly at its edges, the tensile forces increase and the sheet plastically deforms into a new shape. Horizontal stretch presses mount the form die sideways on a stationary press table, while the gripping jaws pull the sheet horizontally around the form die
