Magically bind our favorite books
The recent Harry Potter fever once again proved that books and reading are never outdated. Although the Internet occupies a large part of our daily lives, research shows that it will not completely replace print media at any time.
This is certainly good news for the Swiss-based Muller Martini company, which produces various types of post-press processing equipment for commercial printers, bookbinding factories, digital book manufacturers, newspaper factories, and rotary offset presses. status. Muller Martini has factories in Switzerland, Germany, the United States and other countries. It has extensive network services and sales offices in all important markets around the world, and serves all customers of the company worldwide.
Over the past 10 years, B & R and Muller Martini have worked closely as a team to jointly study new developments and improvements in Muller Martini's machine control systems, including the United States and other parts of the world. "When developing new equipment for the market, we must improve the price comparison to be more competitive. When developing the latest equipment, we chose to fundamentally change the controller hardware structure. With the listing of B & RX67I / 0, Muller Martini decided to adopt the system ’s All advantages. "Said Ferdinand Prantl, electrical engineering manager at Muller Martini. The United States attributed the company's philosophy to the development of new machines.

High technology ensures more efficient machine manufacturing
When Muller Martini uses the latest technology in all machine development, it is important to always remember the latest book binding technology.
At the design stage of the new equipment, it was decided to reduce the machine's cables and wiring to a minimum. This is only possible if the B & R X67I / 0 system with X67 protection level is used and the I / 0 is installed directly at the location of the sensor cluster.
Taking the X2X link (a distributed backplane) as the center of the control system, the result of using this new control concept is to remove a lot of wiring to the control cabinet. In addition, due to the reduction of the backbone connection, a lot of labor is saved, and the reduction of the contacts greatly reduces the probability of wrong wiring. In addition to improving the efficiency of the assembly process, it also increases the reliability of the machines available for display in this area. Now, when necessary, a service technician or engineer can effortlessly prevent and change I / 0 or sensors without having to deal with intermediate connections, thus greatly reducing failures and machine downtime.
Mr. Prantl noted that the advantages of using the X67I / 0 concept in the machine are as follows: "X67 is a truly distributed I / 0, not a central remote control rack. One can install I / 0 into the device , Which can promote many steps in design, assembly and subsequent equipment maintenance.
It connects the various parts of the machine with the central processor, rather than the traditional trunk cable and the intermediate connection, resulting in the entire machine with wires everywhere. The increase in hardware costs offset the significant reduction in labor costs, resulting in a comprehensive net balance.
In addition to the X67I / 0 system, a machine with a B & R Power Panel PP200 installed is developed into an operator interface with integrated control functions. Similarly, the ACOPOS servo system facilitates communication to the central control system via CAN. B & R's programming software Automation Studio, a single tool responsible for mechanical devices, adjustment devices and visualization, was used to program the entire machine application. "When Automation Studio got new developments, Muller Martini was one of the companies that used it in its infancy. Over the past few years, it has grown into a stable, versatile, and widely distributed tool. It helps control The system developers easily integrate other aspects of the system, as different components, such as mechanical devices and HMI, are on the same platform.
The unification of different control components on the same platform shortens the development time. The result is superior performance achieved by eliminating interface and software driver issues, "says Ferdinand Prantl.
Muller Martini has also developed tools that facilitate the introduction of 3D drawings from CAD systems to screen images. This adds a sense of intimacy, an inexperienced operator does not need to inform the symbol on the screen in advance, but just looks at the actual parts of the machine. This reduces the development time of screen images. [next]
From folding tags to books
The magic behind our favorite books is reflected in the following important machine processes: After different page numbers (folding labels) are printed and folded, the folding labels (each folding label includes many pages) are lined up in a collection The pipeline is placed, where it is laid down and integrated into a book block. The book block was moved to the book binder who had prepared the spine (back of the book) and glue, and then the cover was glued to each book block and it became a book. The book was then moved to a three-knife cutter and cut to the same size. From this point on, the book was shipped to the market for sale.
In short, the advantages that Muller Martini has experienced in the United States are shared by the Muller Martini Group worldwide. The company implements close cooperation and shares all defects and successes in the development of all their machines. In addition, these improvements are ultimately passed on to their customers: user-friendliness, short replacement time, usefulness and functionality. These make the shutdown rate have better performance and increase the unit productivity. For consumers, these wealth is crucial in today's market environment. Generally speaking, the industry will move towards a trend of reducing batches. As a result, more frequent replacement of machine parameters can provide higher modularity and flexibility of machine applications, which are indispensable for meeting market demands now and in the future.

Digital technology and digital workflow
In order to further increase the capacity of the machine, Muller Martini's current plan includes the concept of "digital workflow" as an additional feature of the machine.
Digital workflow refers to the orderly processing of daily work, which also includes cargo flow and ordered data flow. The two standards developed are JDF (Work Definition Format) and JMF (Information Feedback Mechanism), which is the core technology for effective data exchange in printing technology operations.
What needs to be emphasized is the smooth and lasting relationship between B & R and Muller Martini, Mr. Prantl said, "For an equipment manufacturer, the control system is the core content of the machine built." And a flexible and fast response Market trends, cutting-edge technology and companies with excellent technical support are necessary to cooperate. With the continuous development of products, technical support is particularly important. Better technical support can eliminate the release lag caused by technical difficulties and help Muller Martini's equipment lead in performance and productivity. We have never doubted the support provided by B & R, whether during R & D or during the resolution of any problems we have encountered. We are very impressed by its high flexibility and quick response. An office in Atlanta often proves that "a friend in trouble is a true good friend." In addition, the flexibility of B & R's hardware and software has provided us with great support in designing and creating control systems with optimal functionality and maximum capacity. Some special hardware customized by B & R for us has been proven to have high quality and better cost performance.
A good night's sleep leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world, and having the right bed is the first step in creating a harmonious space.
