Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Steuern einer Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine in Abhängigkeit des aufgegebenen Materials, wobei über mindestens eine Erfassungseinheit kontinuierlich Materialdaten erfasst werden, bevor das Material einer Verarbeitung in der Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine unterzogen wird.The The invention relates to a method for controlling a plastic processing machine dependent on of the discontinued material, wherein at least one detection unit continuous material data is collected before the material of a Processing in the plastic processing machine is subjected.
Die steigenden Qualitätsanforderungen und die Anforderung an minimaler Ausschussproduktion an die Produkte erfordern einen frühzeitigen Eingriff in die Prozessparametrierung beispielsweise bei Extrudermaschinen und deren Nachfolgeeinheiten. Zur Lösung dieser Anforderungen sind Verfahren, die mittels neuronaler Netze, Neuro-Fuzzy, ein sich selbst lernendes, korrigierendes und regulierendes System, abbilden, bekannt. Es werden auch unterschiedliche Regelalgorithmen und -kombinationen zur Optimierung des Prozessverhaltens eingesetzt sowie Ansätze nach der Evolutionstheorie.The increasing quality requirements and the requirement for minimal rejects to the products require an early Intervention in the process parameterization, for example in extruder machines and their successor units. To solve these requirements are Procedures using neural networks, neuro-fuzzy, a self learning, correcting and regulating system, map, known. There are also different control algorithms and combinations for Optimization of the process behavior used as well as approaches after the theory of evolution.
Typischerweise werden auf einer Produktionsmaschine unterschiedlichste Materialien verarbeitet, auf welche die Prozessparameter anzupassen sind. Es hat sich aber darüber hinaus gezeigt, dass auf einer Produktionsanlage die Eingangsmaterialdaten von Charge zu Charge und Hersteller zu Hersteller einer Streuung unterliegen und dass Umwelteinflüsse wie Rohstoffform, Temperatur und Materialfeuchte den Prozess stören und somit eine optimale Prozessführung zur Erzeugung der geforderten Qualität nicht ohne Eingriffe der Anwender zu gewährleisten ist. In besonderem Maße wird bei der Verarbeitung von Recyclingmaterialien und Recyclaten die optimale Einstellung eines Prozesses, ohne die genaue Kenntnis der Materialzusammensetzung, nahezu unmöglich.typically, become a variety of materials on a production machine processed, to which the process parameters are adapted. It but has about it It also showed that on a production plant the input material data from batch to batch and manufacturer to manufacturer of a dispersion subject and that environmental influences such as raw material form, temperature and material moisture disturb the process and thus optimal process control to produce the required quality not without interference To ensure users is. In particular is used in the processing of recycled materials and recyclates the optimal setting of a process without the exact knowledge the material composition, almost impossible.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, mittels dem der Einfluss des Materials, welches der Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine aufgegeben wird, automatisch berücksichtigt wird.task The invention is therefore to provide a method by means of the influence of the material, that of the plastic processing machine is automatically taken into account.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe ist in Verbindung mit dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass mittels der erfassten Materialdaten durch Datenvergleich und/oder mathematischer Prozesse ein oder mehrere Kennwerte ermittelt werden und anschließend anhand der ermittelten Kennwerte die erforderlichen Maschinenparameter aus einer Datenbank ausgelesen und an die Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine übertragen werden.The solution the object is in connection with the preamble of the claim 1, characterized in that by means of the detected material data by Data comparison and / or mathematical processes one or more Characteristics are determined and then based on the determined Characteristics The required machine parameters from a database read out and transferred to the plastic processing machine become.
Es wird also im kontinuierlichen Verfahren die einlaufenden spezifischen Materialdaten erfasst und entsprechend ausgewertet. Anhand dieser erfassten Daten kann die entsprechende Steuerung, die beispielsweise über eine SPS oder ähnliche Steuerung realisiert wird, in einer Wissensdatenbank nachschauen, um die für diese Materialdaten erforderlichen Maschinenparameter abzufragen und an die Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine zu übertragen.It Thus, in the continuous process, the incoming specific Material data recorded and evaluated accordingly. Based on this recorded data can be the appropriate control, for example, via a PLC or similar Control is realized, look in a knowledge database, around the for to query this material data required machine parameters and to the plastic processing machine.
Der Idee liegt somit zugrunde, bekannte Erfassungssysteme und bestehende Datenbanken in geeigneter Weise so zu kombinieren, dass eine weitgehend automatische Einstellung und Korrektur der Einstellung einer Maschine erfolgen kann. Die Erfassungssysteme ermitteln anhand der erfassten Daten z. B. eine Art Index, der zu einer bestimmten Datensatznummer in der Datenbank passt. Wird dieser Datensatz nicht gefunden, wird anhand eines Algorithmus oder sonstigem mathematischen System bestimmt, welcher nahe liegende Datensatz ausgelesen und dessen Parameter an die Maschinensteuerung übermittelt wird. Weichen die ausgelesenen Daten/Parameter zu sehr von den gewünschten Kennwerten ab, kann eine Warnung ausgegeben werden. Hier ist eine Warnung im Display oder als Leuchte oder in jeder akustischen Form denkbar. Das Maschinenpersonal kann dann das Produktergebnis beobachten, die Parameter manuell korrigieren und bei Bedarf als neuen Datensatz mit neuem Kennwert abspeichern. Werden dann zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt analoge Daten erfasst, findet das System dann den gewünschten Datensatz mit den Maschinenparametern in der Datenbank.Of the The idea is therefore based on known detection systems and existing ones Databases in a suitable way to combine that a largely automatic adjustment and correction of the setting of a machine can be done. The recording systems determine on the basis of the recorded Data z. For example, a kind of index associated with a particular record number fits in the database. If this record is not found, it will determined by an algorithm or other mathematical system, which nearby data record is read out and its parameters transmitted to the machine control becomes. Do the data / parameters read out too much from the desired one? Characteristic values, a warning can be issued. Here is one Warning in the display or as a light or in any acoustic form conceivable. The machine personnel can then observe the product result, Correct the parameters manually and, if necessary, as a new record Save with a new characteristic value. Will be at a later date recorded analog data, the system then finds the desired Record with the machine parameters in the database.
Auf diese Weise wird das System sukzessive mit weiteren Daten angereichert und entwickelt sich zu einem eigenständigen Expertensystem.On In this way, the system is successively enriched with additional data and evolves into an independent expert system.
Es ist somit möglich, beispielsweise bei extrem kaltem Material die Temperierung eines Extruders zu erhöhen und somit ohne Einfluss des Bedienpersonals den erforderlichen Aufschmelzgrad zu erreichen. Als weiteres Beispiel könnte die Drehzahl des Extruders je nach erkannter Form des Materials entsprechend angepasst werden, da bei einem runden Granulatkorn oder einem blättchenförmigen Recyclat andere Extruderdrehzahlen sinnvoll sind.It is thus possible For example, in extremely cold material, the temperature of a To increase extruder and thus without the influence of the operator the required degree of melting to reach. As another example, the speed of the extruder could be be adapted according to the detected form of the material, because with a round granule or a flake-shaped recyclate other extruder speeds are meaningful.
Das vorgeschlagene Verfahren eignet sich sowohl für die Erfassung der Materialdaten von typischen Kunststoffen wie Thermoplasten als auch für Ton, Keramik, Gummi, Kautschuk, organische Verbindungen, Verbundwerkstoffe, Biowerkstoffe oder auch Metalle und ähnliche Materialien.The proposed method is suitable both for the acquisition of the material data from typical plastics such as thermoplastics as well as clay, ceramics, Rubber, rubber, organic compounds, composites, biomaterials or metals and the like Materials.
Die Erfassungseinheit, die beispielsweise ein Materialsensor sein kann, erfasst sowohl den Materialtyp und Materialfarbe, die Materialzusammensetzung, die Form des eingegebenen Materials, die Temperatur als auch die Feuchte. Sicherlich ist es auch denkbar, noch weitere Materialdaten erfassen zu können. Als Sensor kann weiterhin ein Nahinfrarotspektroskop und/oder Feucht- und Temperatursensoren eingesetzt werden. Die Datenerfassung muss nicht zwingend über eine Erfassungseinheit erfolgen, es können auch mehrere Sensoren die Daten an die Prozesssteuerung übermitteln.The detection unit, which may be, for example, a material sensor, detects both the type of material and material color, the composition of the material, the shape of the input material, the temperature and the humidity. Certainly it is also conceivable to be able to record further material data. As a sensor can also be a near-infrared spectroscope and / or humidity and temperature sensors are used. The data acquisition does not necessarily have to take place via a detection unit, it is also possible for several sensors to transmit the data to the process control.
In dieser Steuereinheit, die entweder direkt in der Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine integriert ist, aber auch innerhalb eines Betriebes, in einem Rechenzentrum oder anderweitig untergebracht sein kann, werden nun die Materialdaten verarbeitet. In Abhängigkeit dieser ermittelten Materialdaten werden in einer Wissensdatenbank bereits hinterlegte Maschinenparameter abgerufen und, wie bereits oben beschrieben, an die Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine übermittelt. Die Verarbeitung kann beispielsweise durch Ermittlung einer spezifischen Kennzahl für diese Materialdaten erreicht werden, wobei dann anhand dieser Kennzahl in der Wissensdatenbank die Maschinenparameter abgefragt werden. Weicht die ermittelte Kennzahl beispielsweise von einem gespeicherten Kennzahlenwert in der Datenbank ab, so entscheidet ein hinterlegter mathematischer Algorithmus, welcher der benachbarten Datensätze als Maschinenparameter ausgelesen wird.In This control unit, either directly in the plastic processing machine is integrated, but also within a company, in a data center or otherwise can be accommodated, now the material data processed. Dependent on This determined material data is stored in a knowledge database already stored machine parameters retrieved and, as already above described, transmitted to the plastic processing machine. For example, processing can be done by identifying a specific measure for this Material data can be achieved, in which case using this indicator the machine parameters are queried in the knowledge database. For example, the determined code differs from a stored one Key figure value in the database, so decides a deposited mathematical algorithm, which of the adjacent data sets as Machine parameter is read out.
Die an die Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine übertragenen Maschinenparameter werden parallel in geeigneter Weise ausgegeben, was beispielsweise über ein Display oder Touch-Screen an der Maschine ermöglicht wird.The Machine parameters transmitted to the plastic processing machine are output in parallel in a suitable manner, which for example via a Display or touch screen on the machine.
Über eine Eingabestelle, was beispielsweise das Touch-Screen-Feld an der Maschine sein kann, ist es möglich, die Maschinenparameter manuell zu korrigieren. Dies kann erforderlich sein, falls das gewünschte Ergebnis noch nicht optimal und eine Korrektur erforderlich ist. Diese korrigierten Daten können dann als neuer Datensatz der Maschinenparameter in der Wissensdatenbank gespeichert werden und stünden dem System für Folgeprozesse zur Verfügung.Over a Input location, which, for example, the touch screen field on the machine can be, it is possible to manually correct the machine parameters. This may be required if the desired Result is not yet optimal and a correction is required. This corrected data can then as a new record of machine parameters in the knowledge base be stored and stand the system for Follow-up processes available.
Während des Prozesses innerhalb der Kunststoffverarbeitung können weitere Messwerte erfasst werden, die ebenfalls an die Prozesssteuerung übermittelt werden. Durch dieses Verfahren ist es möglich, die durch die Datenbank gelieferten Maschinenparameter im Rahmen einer Ergebnis kontrolle zu überprüfen und somit individuell einzelne oder alle Parameter zu korrigieren. Selbstverständlich können diese Korrekturwerte als neue Werte in der Datenbank hinterlegt werden.During the Processes within plastics processing can record further measured values which are also transmitted to the process control. Because of this Method is it possible the machine parameters supplied by the database in the frame to check a result control and thus individually correcting individual or all parameters. Of course, these can Correction values are stored as new values in the database.
Es wird also der Abgleich der Messdaten mit einer Wissensdatenbank zur optimalen automatischen Prozessparametrierung und Steuerung der Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine durchgeführt. Für die Parametrierung geeignete Prozessdaten sind z. B. Drehmoment und Drehzahl des Hauptmotors oder/und weitere Nebenantriebe sowie das Temperaturprofil der Verfahrenseinheit und des Werkzeugs sowie die Schmelzedaten. Weiterhin ist es denkbar, beispielsweise in der Extrusion dem Extruder nachgeschaltete Kalibriereinheiten optimal in den Kühl- und Druckverhalten zu parametrieren. Die Wissensdatenbank ist daher für alle Extrusionsverfahren der Mono- und Mehrschichtextrusion ausgelegt. Wie oben erwähnt kann die Wissensdatenbank sowohl in der Extrudersteuerung integriert sein als auch zentral auf einem firmeninternen Server zur Verfügung stehen und einzelne und/oder mehrere Extrudermaschinen bzw. Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschinen gleichzeitig bedienen.It So is the comparison of the measured data with a knowledge base for optimal automatic process parameterization and control the plastic processing machine performed. Suitable for the parameterization Process data are z. B. torque and speed of the main engine and / or additional power take-offs and the temperature profile of the process unit and the tool as well as the melt data. Furthermore, it is conceivable, for example in the extrusion downstream of the extruder calibration units optimal in the cooling and Parameterize pressure behavior. The knowledge database is therefore for all Extrusion process of mono- and multi-layer extrusion designed. As mentioned above The knowledge base can be integrated both in the extruder control be available as well as centrally on an in-house server and single and / or multiple extruder machines or plastic processing machines operate simultaneously.
Auf Basis der Interaktion von Wissensdatenbank, Erfassung der Eingangsmaterialdaten und Steuerung wird eine aktive Verarbeitungsempfehlung erreicht, die den Bediener in die Lage versetzt, den Verarbeitungsprozess optimal einzustellen. Aufbauend auf die gelernten Verarbeitungsempfehlungen ist das hier gezeigte sukzessiv trainierte System nach und nach in der Lage, den Prozess selbständig optimal zu führen.On Basis of the interaction of knowledge database, acquisition of input material data and control, an active processing recommendation is achieved, which enables the operator to complete the processing process optimally adjusted. Based on the learned processing recommendations is the successively trained system shown here bit by bit able to independently process to lead optimally.

erläutert
werden. Die Figur zeigt eine Kunststoffverarbeitungsmaschine
Am Beispiel dieser Extruderlinie kann beispielsweise ein zweiter Material- bzw. Produktsensor vor der Formgebung und/oder in der Nachfolge platziert sein, um eine Rückkopplung zwischen den Produkteigenschaften und dem Plastifizier- bzw. Aufbereitungsprozess zu bekommen. Beispielsweise könnte der Glanzgrad des Produktes durch den zweiten Materialsensor bestimmt und an die Steuerung zurückgegeben werden. Der könnte wiederum dazu genutzt werden, die Düsenheizung zu steuern, um den im Vorfeld definierten Glanz des Produktes automatisch einzustellen bzw. zu verändern.Using the example of this extruder line, for example, a second material or product sensor may be placed before the shaping and / or in the succession in order to provide feedback between the pro product properties and the plasticizing or conditioning process. For example, the gloss level of the product could be determined by the second material sensor and returned to the controller. This could in turn be used to control the nozzle heater to automatically set or change the previously defined gloss of the product.
Hier wird also ein System aufgezeigt, das durch die Erfahrung und Reaktion der Anwender und Experten auf unterschiedliche Materialeigenschaften trainiert wird. Die so gefundenen Prozessparameter werden als Datensets in einer Datenbank abgelegt und sind jederzeit wieder aufrufbar. In Kombination mit einer Materialzustandserkennung ist somit ein unverzögerter Eingriff in den Prozess möglich.

The process parameters thus found are used as data sets in stored in a database and can be recalled at any time. In Combination with a material condition detection is thus an instantaneous intervention possible in the process. It can Processes for pipe, profile, flat films, sheets, granules, Blown film production, but also injection molding and compounding machines be set optimally.
Zusammengefasst sei daher, wie teilweise schon weiter oben ausgeführt, noch einmal erwähnt:
- • Mit der vorgeschlagenen Erfindung kann die kontinuierliche Erfassung der in den Extruder bzw. die Plastifiziereinheit einlaufenden spezifischen Materialdaten durch einen Materialsensor, der die Messergebnisse auflöst nach Materialtyp, -zusammensetzung, -form, -temperatur und -feuchte, umgesetzt werden. Typisch für diese Anwendung ist z. B. bei Kunststoffen der Einsatz von Nahinfrarot-Spektroskopie, von Feuchte- und Temperatursensoren. Erfasst werden können Tone, Keramik, Gummi, Kautschuk, Thermoplastische Polymere, organische Verbindungen, Verbundwerkstoffe, Biowerkstoffe und Metalle.
- • Weiterhin ist der Abgleich der Messdaten mit einer Wissensdatenbank zur optimalen automatischen Prozessparametrierung und -steuerung der Extrudermaschine realisiert. Optimale Prozessdaten sind z. B. Drehmoment und Drehzahl des Hauptmotors oder/und weiterer Nebenantriebe sowie das Temperaturprofil der Verfahrenseinheit und des Werkzeugs. Weiterhin ist denkbar, z. B. die dem Extruder nachgeschalteten Kalibriereinheiten optimal in dem Kühl- und Druckverhalten zu parametrieren.
- • Die Wissensdatenbank ist ausgelegt für alle Extrusionsverfahren der Mono- und Mehrschichtextrusion. Die Wissensdatenbank kann sowohl in der Extrudersteuerung integriert sein als auch zentral auf einem firmeninternen Server zur Verfügung stehen und einzelne oder/und mehrere Extrudermaschinen gleichzeitig bedienen.
- • Eine aktive Verarbeitungsempfehlung auf Basis der Interaktion von Wissensdatenbank und Steuerung, die den Bediener in die Lage versetzt, den Verarbeitungsprozess zu optimieren, ist umgesetzt.
- • Darüber hinaus ist es denkbar, einen zweiten Material- bzw. Produktsensor vor der Formgebung oder/und in der Nachfolge zu platzieren, um eine Rückkopplung zwischen den Produkteigenschaften und dem Plastifizier- bzw. Aufbereitungsprozess zu bekommen. Beispielsweise könnte der Glanzgrad des Produktes, durch den zweiten Materialsensor bestimmt und an die PLC weitergegeben, dazu genutzt werden, um die Düsenheizung so zu steuern, um den im Vorfeld definierten Glanz des Produktes automatisch einzustellen.
- With the proposed invention, the continuous detection of the specific material data entering the extruder or the plasticizing unit can be implemented by a material sensor which dissolves the measurement results according to material type, composition, shape, temperature and moisture. Typical of this application is z. As in plastics, the use of near-infrared spectroscopy, of humidity and temperature sensors. Clays, ceramics, rubber, rubber, thermoplastic polymers, organic compounds, composites, biomaterials and metals can be included.
- • Furthermore, the comparison of the measured data with a knowledge database for the optimal automatic process parameterization and control of the extruder machine is realized. Optimal process data are z. B. torque and speed of the main engine and / or other auxiliary drives and the temperature profile of the process unit and the tool. Furthermore, it is conceivable, for. B. the parameters downstream of the extruder calibration units optimally in the cooling and pressure behavior.
- • The knowledge database is designed for all extrusion processes of mono- and multi-layer extrusion. The knowledge database can be integrated into the extruder control as well as centrally available on a company-internal server and serve individual or / and several extruder machines simultaneously.
- • An active processing recommendation based on the knowledge database and control interaction that enables the operator to optimize the processing process has been implemented.
- In addition, it is conceivable to place a second material or product sensor before shaping or / and in succession in order to obtain a feedback between the product properties and the plasticizing or conditioning process. For example, the gloss level of the product, as determined by the second material sensor and passed to the PLC, could be used to control the nozzle heater so as to automatically adjust the pre-defined gloss of the product.
