AUTOMATION OF PAPER CUTTING MACHINE

Cilj diplomske naloge je predstaviti celotni proces avtomatizacije stroja za avtomatsko rezanje papirja, ki je del paletizacijskega sistema v prehrambni industriji. Naloga rezalnika je, da zagotavlja papir točno določenih dimenzij, ki se uporablja za ločevanje produktov, ki jih zlagajo na palete enega na drugega. Podrobno je opisan postopek načrtovanja, izpostavljene so tudi težave, s katerimi smo se srečevali pri doseganju polne funkcionalnosti. Predstavljeno je programsko okolje ePLAN, osnovna načela za risanje načrtov, opisan je načrt rezalnika papirja, ki je v njem narisan. Sledi opis uporabljenih komponent ter programskega okolja Siemens SIMATIC, ki je namenjen konfiguriranju in programiranju strojne opreme.The aim of this thesis is to present the whole process of automation of an automatic paper cutting, which is part palletising system in the food industry. The task of cutting is to provide a specific paper size, which is used for separating products that stack pallets on top of each other. Here describes the planning process and what problems we face in achieving full functionality. Here is presented the EPLAN platform, the basic principles for drawing plans, and a description of the design in paper cutter, which is depicted in it. Followed by a description of the components, and Siemens SIMATIC programming environment that is designed to configure the hardware and programming for the last
