Efficient control and monitoring during calendering
IO-Link master enables maximum productivity of calendering machines
During calendering, materials such as electrode foils are pressed through rollers to achieve a uniform thickness and surface structure - an essential step in battery production that significantly influences the performance and service life of the battery cells. The precise control of parameters such as roll gap, temperature and contact pressure using sensors is crucial to ensure consistent product quality.
The efficiency of the processes can be significantly increased with an IO-Link master on the calendering machine. The IO-Link master enables the connection of up to 8 IO-Link sensors and actuators per port and thus ensures comprehensive recording of all relevant process data in real time. The integrated diagnostic functions allow status data to be continuously monitored, which supports predictive maintenance and minimizes unplanned downtimes.
Features
- Connection of up to 8 IO-Link sensors and actuators per port for complete monitoring and control of machine parameters
- Flexible parameterization and adaptation to different production conditions via the IO-Link master
- Simple installation and reduced cabling effort thanks to the use of standardized IO-Link connections
- Support for IIoT protocols such as MQTT for seamless integration into higher-level systems
- Integrated diagnostic functions for detecting anomalies and optimizing maintenance intervals
