Renewal of a bundling machine

Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti postopek obnove naprave, ki je namenjen za obratovanje v farmacevtskih obratih, kar zaradi strogih zahtev naročnika predstavlja izziv. Prav tako je namen predstaviti, s kakšnimi koraki, postopki in izzivi smo se soočili pri postopku obnove naprave. Cilj naloge je bil obnoviti napravo za ovijanje zloženk s sodobnimi elektronskimi komponentami, novim krmiljem na osnovi PLK ter aplikacijo na osebnem računalniku preko katere bo možno upravljati napravo. Naprava bo morala dosegati zahtevano kapaciteto (hitrost obratovanja) in izpolnjevati vse zahteve naročnika, ki se navezujejo tako na obratovanje kot tudi na varno delo z napravo. Dodaten cilj je bil predstavitev protokolov za preizkušanje naprave v posameznih fazah med obnovo.The main purpose of this thesis is to show a procedure of machine renewal, which is used in the pharmaceutical industry, where customer demands are very high. Also, we wanted to show the steps, procedures, and challenges we faced during this renewal process. The goal was to renew the bundling machine with new electrical components, a new control system based on PLC, and a personal computer application through which we can operate the machine. The machine will have to reach demanded capacity (process speed) and be compliant with all customer requirements, which are based on operation and safe work with the machine. The additional goal was to show procedures for machine testing in different phases during the renewal process
