Remanufacturing

Tear Down Process
The process begins by removing all electrical and pneumatic controls and then completely disassembling
the Tiromat 3000/VA machine down to its frame. The machine frame is then thoroughly pressure washed.
A polyurethane epoxy coating is then applied to the outer frame to protect it from corrosion and
electrolysis that occurs between the aluminum frame and stainless steel skins. Next, all old plating,
rust, and corrosion will be stripped from all non-wear sub-assembly components by using an emerald bead
blasting technique. Parts are then inspected and a new powder coating finish (USDA, FDA approved) is
applied to all non-wear parts such as lifting shafts, rails, etc.

Reassembly
Each sub-assembly is then completely rebuilt. All wear items will be replaced with new parts that typically
meet or exceed the OEM standards and tolerances. Our parts are typically manufactured out of stainless steel vs. the OEM,
which often uses plated steel or aluminum for VA/3000 parts. In addition, we include such improvements as
grease fittings on all bearing flanges; all new polycarbonate Lexan and stainless steel safety covers,
stainless steel skin and upgraded 5/8” pitch 4000PowerPac style transport chains on all our rebuilds.
In each step of the remanufacturing process, the machine must pass a rigorous quality control inspection
before it is allowed to enter into the final testing and qualification phase. All these steps are taken to
help insure that with proper maintenance your machine will run reliably in your production for years to come.

Allen Bradley PLC Control
All existing controls are replaced. The control panel will consist of a new Allen Bradley 503 Industrial
Programmable Logic Controller including all necessary input and output modules, UL approved circuit breaker
and overload protection. The operating program has on-screen diagnostics for quick troubleshooting.
Every type of product you produce can be named and stored with your ideal setting and package requirements.
Control of the machine functions are accomplished using an Allen Bradley Panel View 600 Color Touch Screen.
This operator interface is mounted in a new panel that replaces the existing panel on the control head.
The standard program will be modified at no additional charge if you were to require a special
application or additional peripheral devices on the equipment.
The cost of our operating program is included in our system price. It is intended
for the use of a single user and subject to the terms of our Disclosure Agreement.

Allen Bradley Drive System
The existing drive motor and gearbox is replaced with an Allen Bradley A.C. Servo Motor
(with a built-in resolver) and a Sew Eurodrive Precision Gear Box. The Ultra Series Servo Amplifier
communicates to the PLC via a high-speed stepper card, which allows index lengths and speeds to be set
at the operator interface panel. A complete set of documentation including manuals,
ladder diagrams, wire diagram, and programs are included.
