The Control Technology Integrated into Screwdriving Automation Systems and Equipment is Generally Divided into Screwdriving Process and Sequence Controls. The Screwdriving Process Control Monitors and Regulates the Actual Screwdriving Process, Ensuring that the Preset Values for Speed, Torque, and Screw Depth are Maintained. This Control is also of Particular Importance for Process Evaluation and Documentation of all Screwdriving Data. Sequence Controls are Responsible for Controlling the Entire System. For Example, They Control the Stroke Movement of the Screwdriving Spindle, the Feeding of Fasteners, or the Communication with Peripheral Devices.

Further information on control systems
Process controller C5S
The C5S process control is used to perform simple screwdriving tasks. It serves exclusively as a drive control and is controlled via a digital interface: direction reversal and two speeds are possible.
Process controller C30S
The C30S was developed for solving complex screwdriving tasks. Numerous open interfaces and screwdriving strategies make it a very versatile control. Parameterization and operation are carried out via a 7-inch touch panel. The system is delivered as process control C30SxS with current control and as model C30SxM with torque or angle sensor.
Process controller C50S
The C50S process control for complex screwdriving tasks. Thanks to freely programmable screwdriving stages, any conceivable screwdriving task can be implemented with process reliability. Networking is implemented via Ethernet with TCP/IP protocol. The parameterization, operation, and visualization of the processes are carried out via computers with Windows operating system.
Sequence controller C10 / C15
While the C10S serves as a control unit for the HSP pneumatic hand-held screwdriver with automatic feeding, the C15S can also control stationary screwdrivers with spindle functions. Depth and torque shut-off via torque clutch are possible. The C15S model also has a digital customer interface.
Sequence controller CU30
The CU30 sequence control is used for hand-held and stationary screwdriving systems. The expandability guarantees maximum performance thanks to integrated PLC and pneumatics. With the CU30, almost all screwdriving systems, feeders, press-fitting and insertion systems from WEBER can be controlled.
Frequently asked questions about the control of screwdriving and feeding technology!
What is a PLC?
PLC means “programmable logic control”. A digitally programmed device is used to control a machine or system. The PLC works on the basis of input and output signals.
Can the data be transferred to a higher-level control?
On the C30S or C50S for example, data can be transferred using a digital interface, Profibus, ProfiNet, Ethernet IP, Device NET and Ethernet CAT. The process data can also be exported into a MySQL database.
Which devices can be integrated into a fully automated screwdriving systems and controlled?
The hopper, feeder, distributor, brake and screwdriving or setting spindle can be integrated and controlled in a fully automated screwdriving system.
Is a stand-alone solution of WEBER screwdriving and feeding systems possible?
An independent workstation can be created by combining screwdriving or setting, feeding, process control and sequence control. The systems can be integrated into an existing workstation or supplied as a complete solution (screwdriving and assembly cell).
What is the function of a process control?
A process control – also referred to as a screwdriving controller – controls the drive of the screwdriving system. It can intervene in the screwdriving process using sensors (e.g. torque sensor or depth sensor) to ensure reliable connections).
How are individual products controlled from the customer side?
If our customers integrate screwdriving technology or individual components into their systems, they receive a function and pneumatics diagram so all essential interfaces of the respective product can be controlled with the customer control.
Can process parameters be stored, read out and visualized on the controller?
Screwdriving results can be stored and read out on the WEBER process controls C30S and C50S. The data are transferred over a bus system. The visualization is provided on an integrated 7” touch panel display on the C30S and on an external touch display on the C50S. The process data can also be exported into a MySQL database.
How can the screwdriving process be controlled?
The process control can monitor the screwdriving tasks using current, torque, angle, gradients and depth.
How is a sequence control different?
The sequence control is at a higher level than the process control and coordinates/controls the interaction of the sensors and actuators of the system (e.g. during feeding) as well as the process control.
