The Logika Turn-Over-Cooling-Bed Control System (TOCBSys) was a custom solution that we use as a showpiece to demonstrate the application breadth and flexibility of our hardware and software to novel applications.
A client of ours kept running into issues with the control system of their cooling bed – an area where long product is allowed to cool down to handling temperature. Some cooling beds turn the finished material over for even cooling, and often rely on limit switches to control the table movement.
With constant issues with the limit switches, the mill asked Logika for a solution – and Logika delivered. A custom machine vision system was designed to track the cooling bed and act as a virtual limit switch – completely controlling the TOCB through vision alone.
Check out the below video from the HMI to see how the system works!
