The company Ossberger manufactures, in addition to hydropower machines, and machines for cleaning technology also machines in plastics to produce bellows, which are used worldwide in the automotive industry. In addition to the AX8000 servo drive, Ossberger also uses TwinCAT 3 software functions, including the Plastic Framework. In this video, we talk to Bernhard Wittmann, Head of Research and Development at Ossberger, about the advantages of the TwinCAT 3 Plastic Framework.

AX8000 | Multi-axis servo system
The AX8000 is the space-saving solution for applications with more than two axes. Extensive TwinSAFE functions allow a safe machine design.
TF8540 | TwinCAT 3 Plastic Processing Framework
The TF8540 software library brings together our many years of expertise in plastics, seamlessly integrating important industry-specific control functions into the established TwinCAT Engineering environment. The TF8540 enables comprehensive software-based temperature control in plastics processing operations. It includes a software temperature controller that is specifically designed to handle sluggish controlled systems in plastics applications. The software temperature control supports virtually any number of controlled systems, while the integrated auto-tune function that determines the control parameters for thermally coupled heating zones enables optimum process adaptation. The software library also facilitates intelligent band heater monitoring by means of current or power measurement with a minimal number of sensors.
