Acciaierie Valbruna contracts Automazioni Industriali Capitanio to upgrade the SH100 Peeling machine control system

At the beginning of 2020, AIC supplied and commissioned the control panel for the new Bueltmann SH100 peeling machine (Fig.1). The scope of supply was based on the complete revamping of the machine, including the switchboard, Sinamics S120 multidrive system with SLM regenerative DC Bus, S7-400 PLC, safety system, etc.

As a result of successful collaboration, Acciaierie Valbruna has contracted Automazioni Industrilai Capitanio (AIC) to install the extension of the SH100 Peeling machine control system in Vicenza (BS), Italy. The project aims to upgrade existing switchboards in order to connect new inverters.
