Application Description
Essential Information on Processing on the Fly
1 Essential Information on Processing on

the Fly
This chapter shows what processing on the fly is, why it is used in machines, the
advantages of processing on the fly and the problems that can be solved using
processing on the fly.
What is processing on the fly?

Processing on the fly is characterized by the fact that a product on a material line is
not stopped for processing.
To be able to process a defined position on the product, it is required that the
processing unit is synchronized to the product velocity and that it is moved
synchronously with the product during the processing phase.
Why processing on the fly?

Processing on the fly is required when
stopping the material line due to a subprocess (mostly a thermal process)
could cause quality loss or scrap.

oc
stopping the material line is not reasonable due to the expenditure of energy
because of the respective forces of deceleration and acceleration.
the individual processing steps are too different so that a uniform waiting
time is economically unacceptable.
What are the advantages?

Processing on the fly makes the entire production procedure
faster since it is not necessary to wait for the slowest processing procedure.
more energy-optimized since unnecessary deceleration or acceleration is
not required.
more harmonic due to the continuous motion of the material line, which
results in less wear of the plant.

Automation Problem
2 Automation Problem
To display the application of processing on the fly, flying shears for cutting an
endless product to selectable length were selected.
2.1 Flying shears with length selection

A conveyor running at a constant velocity is used to feed the product via the
material line as an endless board (e.g. plastic, sheet metal or chip board).
When the cutting process is started, the shears slide is synchronized to the velocity
of the material line and positioned to the cutting position. As soon as the
synchronous operation between shears slide and material line is reached, the
shear blades are located directly above the cutting position and the cut is triggered.
During the cut the velocity of the shears slide is identical to the velocity of the
material line.
When the cut is finished, the shear blades are opened and the shears slide is
returned to the initial position.

2.2 Operator control of the process

For presenting and operating, the flying shears feature an HMI attached to the
application example; this HMI was created with WinCC flexible.
The flying shears can be operated in two modes:
V3.2 06/05/07 Page 9/23

Automation Problem
Setting up with the functions:

Acknowledging errors
Jogging: Moving the axis using a jog button
Homing: Synchronizing the axis with a reference point switch or setting the
current position.
Independent positioning of the axes to a manually selected position
Producing with the function:
Automatic cutting of the material line according to a specified length (cyclic
operation)
In this application, the cutting process of the shears is simulated with the aid of the
HMI.
Note For details on operating and presenting the application, please refer to the
Demonstration document.

Process Analysis
3 Process Analysis
This chapter illustrates the technological basics of the flying shears independently
of the possible hardware.
3.1 Process sequence

Precondition
The process can only be started if the flying shears are within the permissible
operating range and if they have been homed:
The shears slide is located between the software limit switches
The shears axis was homed
The shear blades are opened
The shears slide is in starting position
Process sequence
Once the flying shears have been started in automatic mode, they pass the
following cycle until they are deactivated:
Synchronizing the shears slide to the velocity of the material line and the
cutting position
Closing the shear blades
The actual cutting process
oc
Opening the shear blades

Repositioning the shears slide to the starting position
Adjusting the position of the material line to the next cutting position
The position of the material line is influenced in such a way that each cut occurs at
the 0 position of the material line. This is achieved by setting the position value of
the material line on the fly.
3.2 Core functions

The following sections describe the technological core functions required to realize
the application.
Synchronization of the shears slide

There are two preconditions for an exact cut:
The shears slide and the material on the material line move at exactly the
same velocity
The shear blades are located exactly above the cutting position
These preconditions are achieved by synchronizing the shears slide to the material
line and have to be maintained during the entire cutting process.

of the shears slide during cutting
To achieve this mode, the shears axis is connected to the material axis in gearing,
i.e. the shears axis directly follows the position information of the material line.
oc
Failures are detected and corrected. The simple motion at the same velocity in
velocity gearing is inadequate for this application since failures may cause
differences in position which cannot be detected and corrected.
Selecting the appropriate synchronization mode ensures that the shear blades are
located exactly above the cutting position when reaching the material line velocity.
This solution ensures that modifications of the material line velocity do not affect
the actual cutting length and the cutting quality.
Return to starting position

When the cutting process is finished, the shears slide has to be returned to its
initial position.
This is done by a positioning to the starting position of the shears slide at a
defined velocity.
The synchronous operation between material line and shears slide is terminated,
the shears slide is brought to a standstill with a specified deceleration and returned
to the starting position at a defined velocity.
3.3 Solution structure

The following section describes the structure of the solution. The process
sequence is realized via the Flying Shears technology template which is used in
this application example and which includes the complete functionality of the flying
shears.

Sequence of the overall process

Via the user interface (HMI), the shears slide of the flying shears can first be
moved to starting position in setup mode.
Process mode can then be started via Main Control. Via start material, the
material line is brought to a constant velocity and the flying shears are started via
start shears.
Selecting the process mode enables the following process.
Via the synchronizing path, the shears axis is synchronized to the material
axis in gearing.
If the shears axis is synchronous to the material axis, a cut is triggered via the
cutting path. During the cut the gearing of shears slide and material line
prevents the shear blades from canting in the material of the material line.
At the end of the cutting process the shear blades have moved out of the
material of the material line the shears axis is returned to the starting position
V3.2 06/05/07 Page 13/23

Process Analysis
by a positioning via the repositioning path.

The position value of the material line is simultaneously adjusted to the next
cutting position via the next cut path.
Gearing
Gearing is the moving of a group of at least two axes with a fixed reference to
speed and rotation angle. The axis providing the master value is the master axis.
All further axes of the group of axes are slave axes. The slave axes follow the
position selection of the master axis in a fixed but adjustable ratio. Individual slave
axes can be included in or excluded from the group of axes by means of
synchronization or desynchronization processes.
Positioning
Positioning is moving an axis from position A to position B. A travel profile is
generated from the specifications target position, velocity and acceleration. The
axis accelerates to the specified velocity and exactly at that time starts decelerating
to come to a standstill at the target position. During this process the deceleration is
performed with the absolute value of the specified acceleration.
