Pfiffner Innovation

Further developments for increasing your productivity

FLEXIBILITY AND MORE POWER FOR YOUR PRODUCTION

Our new control system

Pfiffner rotary transfer machines are known for their flexibility, investment security, sustainability and their high output, and that cycle by cycle. When decentralized control technology complements modular mechanics, Pfiffner rotary transfer machines may not quite be the "Jack of all trades", but they are definitely very close. All Pfiffner rotary transfer machines are equipped with the latest Bosch Rexroth CNC control IndraMotion MTX Advanced and decentralized IndraDrive servo drives, leaving nothing to be desired.

High performance control BOSCH REXROTH MTX XM42

A common platform for all CNC versions:

The XM42 is the latest high-performance control system from Bosch Rexroth and represents the highest expansion level of the Bosch Rexroth IndraControl MTX. The basic machine (control cabinet, coolant system and hydraulics) has all the characteristics to support variable unit configuration.

 

Features / Benefits

  • Limitless modularity
  • modular machining units
  • Decentralized drive technology
  • Reduced non-productive times
  • OPC-UA interface for fluent operation and fast menu changes
  • operator interface (CNC)

 

  • Operating of machine functions from one image
  • Modification of the configuration by the customer
  • All conditions of all stations at one sight
  • One control for all Pfiffner-machines
  • Simplifying complex connections
  • Diagnostics clearly displayed

Overview of the processing stations

The HMI user interface is clearly structured into three areas:

"Everything under control" (production)

 

  • One operator interface for all machine types
  • All conditions of all stations at one sight
  • Simplifying complex connections

"Everything in hand" (setup)

 

  • Diagnostics clearly displayed
  • Operating of machine functions from one image

"All possibilities" (configuration)

 

  • Up to 24 modular machining units (16 horizontal and 8 vertical) can be configured via the user interface (HMI)
  • Modification of the configuration by the customer
  • Management of compensation data

All operating states at one sight

Our production screen gives you a complete overview of your production: You can see the operating conditions of all stations at one sight.

Unit configuration

Module configuration - limitless modularity

  • The machining units are mechanically assembled, the machining axes are linked and activated via bus systems
  • In the user interface ("digital image" of the machine), the units can be activated via the configuration menu
  • Up to 99 axes and additional options, such as tool monitoring, can be configured via the HMI menu
  • Decentralized drive technology: hydraulic and also motorized servo axes are possible

 

Technical data BOSCH REXROTH MTX XM42

  • CPU: Intel Core i, Dual Core, 6th Generation, 2,3 GHz for shortest SPS and CNC cycle times
  • Innovative CNC core with extensive technology functions
  • Industrial Ethernet with Sercos Master and Profinet
  • OPC-UA interface to the control panel

 

Produkt supplement

The XM42 is the latest high-performance control system from Bosch Rexroth and represents the highest level of expansion of the Bosch Rexroth Indracontrol MTX.

The Bosch Rexroth CNC control in combination with the software and user interface (HMI) developed by Pfiffner, allows all machine types from the product portfolio to be operated in a self-explanatory and user-friendly manner.
