INDUSTRY IN WHICH CABLE WINDING DRUM IS USED- CONTROL SYSTEMS
SERVICES PROVIDED
- Control panel coding for precision operation
- Integration of stepper motor for accurate drum rotation
- Implementation of proximity sensors for homing functionality
- Safety features including emergency stop and microswitches
- Firmware development for customizable operational parameters
DURATION – 8 weeks
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The primary challenge was to design a control system for a cable winding drum that could accurately perform up to 3 complete turns without exceeding the selected number of rotations, ensuring the cable’s fixed length remains tensioned and safe.
FUNCTIONALITIES
- Precision Control: Through the control panel, select the exact number of drum turns (1, 2, or 3) to avoid over-winding.
- Automated Homing: Utilizes a proximity sensor for accurate drum positioning before each operation cycle.
- Adaptable Speed: Speed control via a potentiometer.
- Safety Mechanisms: Instantaneous stops with emergency buttons and safety covers to ensure operational safety.
DELIVERED
- Custom Circuit Design
- Firmware Development and Testing
