Control upgrade – UNIPRESS
Upgrade to the latest control generation
Why upgrade?
Approximately ten years ago, Siemens announced the discontinuation of the Simodrive product range. To ensure service support and spare parts availability, Soudronic made a substantial last-time-buy investment and had established a strategic stock to cover the expected demand over the past decade.
These stocks have now reached critical levels, and the long-term availability of certain Simodrive components can no longer be guaranteed without limitations.
Planning a system conversion in advance allows the upgrade to be implemented under controlled conditions and helps reduce the risk of unplanned downtime caused by obsolete components. It also provides access to the latest control technology, improved diagnostics, increased reliability, and additional machine features.
To avoid facing another phase-out of Siemens components, such as touch panels and PLCs, Soudronic
decided to modernize the entire control system.
Phase-out Simodrive – Phase V – LAST CALL:

Optimized Sheet Feeder TV-2
The upgrade includes the conversion of the sheet feeder. The third conveyor belt on the centering table, together with a row sensor for sheet edge detection, enables simpler, faster, and more reliable sheet alignment. During format changes on the centering table, setup time is reduced by approximately 90%.
