Problem Solution
Diagram is an example of how bending process is done.
Pneumatic operated rod moves in right and left direction which forces glass tube to bend through metal
support.
Metal support is continuously heated so that glass tubes do not break while bending.
When bending is done, two cutters are used to cut the bent glass tube.
Proximity switch detects a length to be cut by the cutter.
Metal support are mounted close to each other such that only bending rod and glass tube together can pass
through it.
Metal support is not exactly square as shown in the diagram, it has curvy ends for smoother bending
operation.
PLC Program
Here is PLC program to Heat and Bend Glass Tubes, along with program explanation and run time test
cases.
