Abstract

The use of dedicated computer-based control systems to solve automation problems is essential to manufacturing automation today. This work describes the design and implementation of a control system for the operation of a mechatronic hydraulic press machine. The overall operation and control is based on a programmable logic unit and a sensory system. The functionality of the control system is analyzed through qualitative simulation models, and validated with physical experiments, prior to the implementation. The overall control design and operation procedures applied have enabled the reduction of sensor failures and machine malfunctioning.
