Client name confidential. Project location: Brazil. Public case reference approved.

Equipment

Bottom-printing die-cutting and stacking collection line

Control Platform

Siemens S7-1516T PLC, HMI and multi-axis motion control

Engineering Scope

Electrical design, cabinet build, wiring, commissioning and FAT

Machine Characteristics

Designed for high-mix packaging orders

  • 01Precise counting, intelligent operation, safe production and efficient line handling.
  • 02Configurable double-sided printing, mature bottom-printing die-cutting and clean waste removal.
  • 03Suitable for complex die-cut boxes, machine-pack boxes and pre-printed box orders, including one-point multi-die-cutting workflows.
  • 04Vacuum stacking, continuous paper feeding, bundle output without speed reduction and modular stacking combinations.
  • 05Designed for a two-to-three-person operating team to support labor reduction and productivity improvement.

Control Architecture

Synchronized motion for die-cutting

The multi-axis architecture uses Siemens multi-axis motion modules with S220 multi-axis motion-control drives and PID algorithms for synchronized die-cutting motion.

VectorTech Scope

From electrical concept to FAT

VectorTech Controls was responsible for the electrical design, control-cabinet manufacturing, wiring, commissioning and factory acceptance testing for the line.

The project was an updated electrical solution based on the original equipment. The redesign focused on a more compact and rational layout, a more practical safety circuit and remote diagnostics for future support.

Compact electrical layout

A more reasonable cabinet arrangement for the machine-control scope.

Improved safety circuit

Safety logic refined as part of the updated electrical design solution.

Remote diagnostics

Remote diagnostic capability included in the public project scope.
