Modular Panel PC Deployed in Manufacturing of Rubber Air Springs
Our customer is one of the world's leading suppliers of air suspension and is a specialist in plastics technology. Its suspension systems are widely used for rail car vehicle undercarriages, including high-speed and intercity trains, metros and trams. High-quality air springs provide damping by controlling both vertical and lateral movement. This brings comfort and stability to the passenger and also helps to reduce noise. To produce quality air springs, this manufacturer improved its operation by deploying industrial panel PCs to provide visualized data and facility monitoring throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Application
The production process of air springs is under certain shock, vibrating, high temperature or dusty environment. The field operator wears heavy-duty gloves to operate an industrial panel PC to control the changes in temperature and pressure precisely during the vulcanization of the rubber.
The real-time manufacturing data will be generated at once from the industrial panel PC and sent to the plant manager's office. The plant manager can oversee production profiles and alarm events that could affect product quality.
Why Cincoze?
Easy maintenance modular design
By taking advantage of Cincoze patent CDS technology and its modular design, Cincoze panel PC can be easily assembled by system module and display module. Comparing with regular standalone panel PC, it is more cost-effective and reduces on-site maintenance time.
Vibration and shock resistances
The modular panel PC features high vibration (1.5G) and shock (15G) resistance for deployment in harsh conditions and is suitable for mounting with the equipment in the field.
Resistive touchscreen
The operator needs to wear working gloves to operate the manufacturing equipment. Therefore, the resistive touchscreen was adopted for a smooth operating and offer resistance to liquids, dirt, and dust.
