PLC for PLASTIC INJECTION MACHINE

3 posts in this topic

Hello.

I´m entering this field to learn how to transform conventional hydraulic plastic injection machine in a PLC controlled machine designed by us.

In my experience those machines fail in electronics control and not in mechanical, hydraulic or electrical systems, and is not rare to see a machine in good shape but not

working because a failure in electronics.

i have seen many PLC brands, and I wish to appeal the forum to find some advice about different experiencies with BRANDS.

I will appreciate all comments.

BEST WISHES

You have to choose a brand to work with. I’ve made my choice based on a qualty and price of the brand’s automation. Others decide to point at most top brands regardless of the price. 
 

The most difficult part is to become a specialist in this area enough qualified to build schematics and control programs. Most of us are engineers in different areas. 
 

In order to start exploring this area you must know that some basic knowledges are mandatory and without them further improvement is impossible. For example there’s no way to be a historian or a doctor and suddenly start learning industrial automation. You should have at least some degree in electronics, physics or some electric speciality.
