Retrofit – ERSX

The JD Engineers retrofit system offers a cost-effective, sustainable and performance-enhancing solution for companies that want to extend the life of their specialty folder gluers.

Some of the advantages:

Durability: extending the life of your machines.
Cost savings: a budget-friendly alternative to new machines.
Energy efficiency: reduced operating costs and environmental impact.
Improved performance: increase in productivity and quality.
Seamless integration: compatibility with modern technologies.

As soon as the JD Machine control is equipped with one or more servos or frequency drives, a safety CPU with safety I/O will be added to the systemThis safety CPU controls all motion parts and will switch the drives in to a safe mode. Stop and emergency stop buttons as well as light curtains, sensors and safety mats can be connected to the special inputs of the JD Machine safety I/O to create a safe environment for the operators

All used drives all have internal safety and are connected to the safety CPU in the JD Machine Control

The main computer has two versions:
JDMain computer FD is equipped with frequency inverters. These control the speed of the machine. The drives used have built-in security and are connected to the security CPU of the JD operating system.

JD Main-Drive SD is equipped with servo drives. Each section will be equipped with one or more servo drives. These drives control the speed of the machine and the position of the boxes in all sections. When an error is detected (see also JD Jam detection and JD Glue detection), the machine is switched off section by section. This results in less waste. Especially when hot-melt glue is used.

The drives used have built-in security and are connected to the security CPU of the JD operating system.

JDIS is the JD online support system.

With this system we can:

– Check the drive’s condition.
– Check the settings and change / adjust if necessary.
– Read out the log files to analyze faults more easily.
– Perform software updates
– Take control for e.g. training purposes or in case of problems.

The device is specially designed for shorter boxes that are difficult to stack for the conveyor. It can do longitudinal seam, crashlock and RSC boxes up to about 15,000 pcs/h. processing (Depending on format and type).

Type A is usually mounted on Press Conveyors with a maximum width of 1200 mm
Type B is usually mounted on Press Conveyors from 1200 mm

The JD conveyor control detects the flow of boxes in the folder gluer. Based on the Production Number/number of boxes per hour, the conveyor belt is started and stopped to ensure a constant flow through the conveyor. The desired overlap can simply be entered and the machine does the rest. Deviating distances between the boxes hardly affect the conveyor.

If the press-conveyor drive is in the JD main sheave, the shingling can still be improved.
