Introduction

In the production process of textile factories, the napping machine (also known as the wire-drawing machine or yarn-extracting machine), as key equipment, undertakes the important tasks of stretching and homogenizing fibers. It is widely used in processes such as carding and yarn extraction. The Holip HLP-A100 inverter, as a general-purpose vector inverter, with its high reliability, wide range of applications, and rich control functions, can achieve precise control of the napping machine motor. This solution will comprehensively elaborate on the specific application of the Holip HLP-A100 inverter in the napping machine, covering the application positions, wiring methods, parameter settings, control logic, and providing descriptions of the electrical wiring diagram and control schematic.

I. Equipment Situation of the Napping Machine and Motor Function Analysis

The napping machine mainly stretches and homogenizes fibers through a series of rollers (or rolls). These rollers are usually driven by motors, and some roller groups may require independent motors to achieve precise speed control and ensure a constant drawing ratio (yarn-extracting ratio) of fibers between different rollers. The napping machine mainly includes the following key components and motor functions:

• Main Stretching Roller Motor: Assumes the main stretching function and requires variable speed control to adapt to different fiber types and production requirements.
• Auxiliary Roller Motor: Used for auxiliary stretching and fiber conveying, which may run synchronously with the main motor at a fixed speed ratio.
• Conveying Motor: Responsible for conveying fibers from upstream equipment (such as carding machines) to the napping machine and conveying the processed fibers to downstream equipment (such as spinning machines).
• Tension Control Motor: Some high-end napping machines are equipped with a dedicated tension control motor to maintain fiber tension and ensure production quality.

The motors of the napping machine are usually three-phase asynchronous motors with a power range of 1.5kW – 15kW, depending on the machine size and production capacity. This solution is based on the design of a main stretching roller motor with a power of 4kW.

Introduction

The rotary cutting machine is an essential piece of equipment in the woodworking industry, primarily used to peel logs into thin veneer sheets, which are widely applied in the production of plywood, furniture, and decorative materials. To achieve efficient and precise processing, the rotary cutting machine relies on the coordinated operation of multiple motors, including the main spindle motor for log rotation, the cutting blade motor for veneer cutting, the conveyor belt motor for veneer output, and the feed motor for controlling cutting thickness. These motors require precise speed and torque control to ensure processing quality and production efficiency. As a versatile electrical device capable of flexibly controlling motor operation, the inverter plays a critical role in the rotary cutting machine.

This article provides a detailed explanation of how to apply the Mobeck MT110 inverter to various motor control aspects of a rotary cutting machine, covering functional analysis, inverter selection, wiring design, parameter settings, and the integration of PLC and touchscreen systems. Through a well-designed and implemented solution, the rotary cutting machine can achieve efficient, stable, and automated operation, meeting the demands of modern woodworking processes.

Functional Analysis of the Rotary Cutting Machine

The primary task of a rotary cutting machine is to process logs into veneer sheets, involving log fixation and rotation, cutting by the blade, veneer output, and precise control of cutting thickness. Below is a detailed analysis of the main motor functions in a rotary cutting machine:

1. Main Spindle Motor (Rotation Function)

• Function: The main spindle motor drives the log to rotate, serving as the core power component of the rotary cutting machine.
• Characteristics: It requires high power, typically ranging from 5.5 kW to 15 kW (depending on the machine size), and needs stable speed output while allowing dynamic speed adjustments based on processing requirements.
• Control Requirements: The inverter must support vector control mode to ensure high torque output at low speeds and be capable of receiving external speed reference signals (e.g., from a PLC or potentiometer).

2. Cutting Blade Motor (Cutting Function)

• Function: This motor drives the cutting blade to peel the rotating log into veneer sheets.
• Characteristics: The power typically ranges from 3 kW to 7.5 kW, with speed adjustments required based on veneer thickness, and stable torque support during cutting.
• Control Requirements: The inverter needs fast start/stop capabilities and precise speed control, often requiring synchronization with the main spindle motor.

3. Conveyor Belt Motor (Conveying Function)

• Function: It ensures the smooth output of cut veneer sheets, maintaining production continuity.
• Characteristics: The power is relatively low, typically between 0.75 kW and 2.2 kW, with speed needing to match the cutting rhythm.
• Control Requirements: The inverter should support simple speed regulation and may need to operate in coordination with the cutting blade motor.

4. Feed Motor (Feed Function)

• Function: It controls the feed speed of the cutting blade or log, directly determining the veneer thickness.
• Characteristics: The power is low (0.75 kW to 1.5 kW), and it can be either an asynchronous motor or a servo motor, requiring high-precision speed control.
• Control Requirements: If using an asynchronous motor, the inverter must support high-precision speed regulation and accept external analog signal inputs; if using a servo motor, a dedicated servo drive is required.

5. Other Auxiliary Motors

• Function: These include motors for clamping devices, chip removal fans, etc., used to assist the processing operation.
• Characteristics: The power is low (0.37 kW to 1.5 kW), with simple control requirements, typically needing only basic start/stop functions.

From the above analysis, it is clear that the motor control requirements of a rotary cutting machine are diverse. The main spindle and cutting blade motors demand high-performance control, while the conveyor belt and feed motors prioritize speed stability and precision.

Abstract

• Studies indicate that frequency converters can be applied to the feeding, pre-milling, trimming, and polishing functions of edge banding machines, improving efficiency and quality.
• Evidence suggests that frequency converters require integration with PLCs and touchscreens for automated control, with parameter settings adjusted based on motor characteristics.
• It appears that wiring and parameter configuration can be complex, necessitating professional technical support to ensure safe operation.

Background and Functional Analysis

Edge banding machines are essential woodworking equipment in furniture manufacturing, with primary functions including pre-milling, gluing, feeding, pressing, cutting, trimming, and polishing. Frequency converters (Variable Frequency Drives, VFDs) enable precise motor speed control, optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of these processes. Based on the specific requirements of edge banding machines, frequency converters can be applied to the feeding motor, pre-milling motor, trimming motor, and polishing motor.

Application Scheme Overview

The application scheme for frequency converters includes motor allocation, wiring methods, parameter settings, and control system design. Research shows that the feeding motor typically operates at 50 Hz, while pre-milling and polishing motors require high-frequency operation (e.g., 185 Hz and 190 Hz), and the trimming motor supports coarse and fine trimming modes (80 Hz and 102 Hz). Additionally, a PLC (e.g., Siemens S7-1200) and a touchscreen (e.g., Weinview MT8071iE) can achieve automated control and parameter adjustment, which seems particularly important for enhancing operational convenience.

Unexpected Detail: Complex Wiring and Safety Considerations

An unanticipated detail is that frequency converter wiring involves power input (R, S, T), motor output (U, V, W), and control terminals (DI1-DI5, AI1, etc.), requiring proper grounding (PE) to prevent electrical leakage. Parameter settings necessitate motor auto-tuning, and initial commissioning may require professional technical support, adding to the implementation complexity.

Detailed Research Report: Frequency Converter Application and Control Scheme Design in Edge Banding Machines

Introduction

Edge banding machines are indispensable in furniture manufacturing, performing processes such as pre-milling, gluing, feeding, pressing, cutting, trimming, and polishing. Frequency converters (VFDs) significantly enhance the operational efficiency, machining quality, and energy savings of edge banding machines by adjusting motor speeds. This report designs a frequency converter application scheme based on the specific functions of an edge banding machine, covering motor allocation, wiring methods, parameter settings, and control system selection, aiming to provide comprehensive technical guidance.

Functional Analysis of Edge Banding Machines

Based on a typical edge banding machine model (e.g., IGOLDENCNC KT-468), its main functions include:

• Pre-milling: Trims the edge of the panel to ensure flatness.
• Gluing: Applies hot-melt glue to the panel edge for bonding the edge band.
• Feeding and Pressing: Feeds the panel steadily via a conveyor belt and presses the edge band onto the panel.
• Cutting: Cuts off excess edge band.
• Trimming: Includes coarse and fine trimming to level the edge band with the panel.
• Scraping: Smooths the edge band, removing burrs.
• Polishing: Enhances the surface finish of the edge band.

From the operational requirements, feeding demands stable low-speed operation, pre-milling and polishing require high-speed operation, and trimming needs multi-speed switching. These characteristics highlight the critical role of frequency converters in precise motor speed control.

Frequency Converter and Motor Allocation

Based on the functional modules of the edge banding machine and the number of frequency converters (four converters shown in the image), the motor allocation scheme is as follows:

• Converter 1 (F 50.0 Hz): Controls the feeding motor, operating at a lower frequency (50 Hz) for stable operation.
• Converter 2 (F 185 Hz): Controls the pre-milling motor, requiring high-speed operation (approximately 10,000 RPM or more).
• Converter 3 (F 102 Hz): Controls the trimming motor, supporting coarse trimming (80 Hz) and fine trimming (102 Hz).
• Converter 4 (F 190 Hz): Controls the polishing motor, requiring high-speed operation (approximately 10,000 RPM or more).

The cutting motor and gluing motor may be directly controlled by relays, as their speed requirements are lower.
