Metal Processing Equip. Mfr. (Tube Straighteners)

The Challenge

A metal processing equipment manufacturer builds tube straightening equipment that must consistently produce straight tubes, from large pipes to needles. The company uses an in-house supervisory system and needed an electrical control suite for each new iteration of the tube straighteners while spending minimal time on programming in-house.

The Solution

Premier Automation provided a complete electrical package, including drives, wiring to the PLC/in-house system, operator stations, control panels, installation, startup, and commissioning. For each new tube straightener, Premier evaluates the motor configuration to design complementary drives and control panels, then adapts a custom algorithm written expressly for the equipment, tuned precisely so the motors correctly share the load. Turnaround: 10–12 weeks.

The Results

Premier engineered a complete electrical control suite with a custom algorithm to tune the motors of highly precise machines, designed to be plug-and-play to minimize demands on the customer's in-house resources and time. New machines received a complete electrical control suite for precisely tuned motors, with minimal cost to the customer's in-house resources for development and startup.
