At the cold end of glass bottle production, the primary task is to separate the continuous stream of bottles from production into smaller sets for inspection. This requires transport systems with individual frequency-controlled drives and a dust- and temperature-proof Panel PC that allows for convenient operation.

A fail-safe industrial PC is crucial for smooth flows on the conveyor belts with minimum breakage. In our solution, a SIMATIC Panel PC specifies the timing and target values for the drives, reads the current actual values, and monitors limit values and critical process data. Our IP65/NEMA 4-compliant front panels and replaceable air filters protect our SIMATIC Panel PCs from glass dust. The Panel PCs are also designed for operation under high ambient temperatures. Additional attractive features include high performance and increased resistance to vibration and shock.

With our Panel PC in place, your conveyor belts can stay operational around the clock, which helps to boost the efficiency of your entire plant.
