Commander SK - in the Right Place at the Right Time for
Crevoisier SA!
Crevoisier SA of Les Genevez, Switzerland are a leading
manufacturer of production machines for the high class watch making
industry. They have recently launched The Universal C-5001
Lapping and Polishing Machine and at its heart is a Control
Techniques 1.5 kW Commander SK running a 1.5 kW motor all
controlled by a colour touch screen HMI panel.
Watch makers are increasing their standard of finishing, parts that
are so small they can hardly been seen by the naked eye need to be
precise to measurements of 1 microm. All of the individual
parts require polishing before a watch is manufactured and the art
of polishing is more difficult than it looks!
“When polishing small parts you need to be confident of the
speed” says Crevoisier’s Research & Development Project Manager
for the C-5001. “Also important is torque, at a low speed constant
high torque is required to ensure the quality of polishing.
The Commander SK has ensured that the high level of precision
demanded has been met.”
The C-5001 not only had to provide variable but accurate speed
but be available in a compact table top design. The Commander
SK was key to achieving these objectives as its compact frame meant
that it could be set inside the C-5001 and the polishing sequence
could be programmed directly onto the drive eliminating the need
for a PLC saving space and money.
Connecting a colour touch screen HMI panel direct to the drive
also allows for settings to be saved that match certain watch parts
or materials, this saves time in the polishing process. The
colour HMI screen also makes the machine very attractive a real
bonus in design focussed industry!>>>>>>>
