Here is a recently completed project for a Veneer Mill in northern Wisconsin. We converted a veneer heating oven (large green machine on the right) from an outdated Babcock control system to a Rockwell PLC for phase #1 of the project. For phase #2, we linked the speed control of the 10 feeding conveyors to the oven using a networked Automation Direct PLC system. To link them, we used an encoder on the oven belt to calculate the speed of the feeding coveyors so that they would all match and seamlessly send the veneer to the oven.
