Soft Control

	Bead Winding Machine - Medium to High Application Complexity This system controlled the winding of a single strand of wire multiple times onto a rotating drum. On sensing the completion of a full rotation a high speed digital interrupt initiated a move to a new position of a Stepper Motor Drive. This allowed unique cross sectional shapes to be created. Up to 2000 unique pre-programmed shapes could be stored – each consisting of up to 500 unique positions calculated in microns. PLC: Siemens S7 + HMI
