When retrofit:• the hardware in use has been discontinued or hardly available in case of failure

• need to update the plant with a low budget available

• need to make the plant compliant with current regulations

• the maintenance has become very expensive

• high plant downtime due to length of service

The advantages:• reduction of maintenance activities

• extension of the plant life

• fast ROI of retrofit/modernization activity

• improvement of system efficiency

• increase of plant productivity

• increase of safety standards

The current evolution of supervisory and control system available today makes integrated solutions able to fulfill even the most extreme requirements while at the same time keep costs low. So it’s possible to modernize an existing plant with a limited budget.

Many years of experience developed by ArgoMatic technicians into develop and installation of automation for metal forming machines allow ArgoMatic to retrofit any existing type of system: feeder, transfer, a Cartesian or anthropomorphic robot.

The recent regulations provides the press in service since 1° October 1987 are equipped with defined safety devices.Moreover, as noted, the mechanical part of aging much more slowly than electronics.

The rapid obsolescence of electronics parts, coupled with the necessary adjustments in terms of safety and new production requirements, put the user in front of a dilemma:• replace old machines with new ones suited to current

standards with a high budget solution, not always available;• retrofit the existing machines, replacing obsolete parts and

keeping the fully functional ones.

Performing the retrofit, also “old” machines regain new life and greater productivity.

Replacement of old and discontinued components can provide new efficiencies to thermoforming machine still mechanically in good condition.

The retrofit of a thermoforming machine provides as follows:• Siemens touchscreen panel PC• Siemens PLC S7-300 series• Siemens HS Heating control card• Sick-Stegmann wire encoder with SSI interface• PLC software for plant control• HMI software for human-machine interface• Replacement of hydraulic solenoid valves• Updated technical documentation• teleservice system for remote maintenance

p The Siemens HS Heating provides:• single output channel diagnostic in tension: no internal or

external error• firmware upgrade by F-EPROM replacing• management of up to 16 zones• output full-wave controlled from 0% to 100% in 1% steps

p Clear and simple HMI pages make setting operations faster.
