High-tech extruder
control system
THE High-Tech Extrusion group has
revealed its new TEC 4s. This control
system has already been delivered with
orders for extruders in recent months
but now it can be also ordered as retrofit
kit exclusively for High Tech Extrusion –
Theysohn Extruders.
High Tech Extrusion, consisting of the
companies Theysohn, Technoplast, Topf
and Extruder-Komponenten Salzgitter,
is an “all-in-one” provider that has
developed a unique series of extrusion
lines, tools and pipe heads. After the
latest development of the new OMNIA
series and the new RK Streamliner
pipe head, High-Tech Extrusion now
presents the new TEC 4s as retrofit kit.
The new Extruder Control
System TEC 4s, developed
in cooperation with Siemens
according to the newest state-
of-the-art techniques, combines
simple handling and an efficient
control system in a unique way.
An operating terminal optimised
for heavy industrial conditions
enables a comfortable control
of the whole extrusion line in
combination with the modern HMI
software. The 19" touch screen
guarantees easiest operation
with large soft-keys and intuitive colour
and graphic design. The core of the
new Theysohn Extruder Control System
is a powerful, fanless and therefore
maintenance-free industrial PC. The
communication between the TEC 4s
and all drives, peripheral devices and
the whole downstream equipment works
through the most efficient bus system
– Profibus. Operational reliability and
short down-time are achieved by simple
wiring because of selected high-class
components, an analysis program and
remote maintenance via LAN and/or
WAN.
The major advantage is that in 99
per cent of all cases the customer can
maintain or exchange part of the system.
This saves on the visit of a Theysohn
technician. A few simple steps without
great technical know-how are sufficient
to change frequency converters or CF
cards and therefore production down-
time can be avoided and software
updates can be installed simply and
quickly.
