Production Machine Builder Support Textile Machine Automation


Texmaco Perkasa Engineering (TPE) is one of Indonesia's leading industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers. The leading company has four engineering divisions. These are the Foundry, Machine Tools, Textile Machinery and Heavy Engineering Divisions. The company is involved in a wide spectrum of engineering activities including manufacturing of castings, machine tools, textile machinery, capital goods, and automotive components. Operations are at three locations in Indonesia - Karawang and Subang in West Java and Kaliwungu in Centra Java.

CNC Design Indonesia has designed and commissioned various automation systems for pre-treatment textile machinery for TPE's Process Machinery Division. This include Stenter, L-Box and APWM (After Print Washing Machine).

Stenter machines are used for finishing treatment of the textile fabrics. While passing through Stenter machine the fabrics will shrink more or less according to the required technology for different sorts of fabrics. The machine is composed by two main motion control system namely feed-in system and transport system. Both systems fully utilize the state of the art features consist in Siemens drive technology MASTERDRIVE VC and SIMODRIVE 611A i.e high accuracy speed synchronisation and high speed communication over profibus network controlled by Siemens SIMATIC PLC.

CNC Design use similar concept when design and commissioning the L-Box machine for TPE. The L-Box machines represent the equipment used for weight reduction, desizing, scouring and bleaching of textile fabrics. L-Box machine involves 15 MASTERDRIVE VC (vector control) drives which are synchonised each other over a Profibus network.

In APWM machines, CNC Design provide a speed synchronisation solution by linking Siemens Micromaster standard AC inverters over Profibus network. The motion control system is taken care by powerfull Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 PLC. This solution makes low cost speed synchronisation system possible, while having no step backward in term of quality and system reliability.
