Aluminum extrusion is a process in which the heated aluminum alloy is extruded by a mold, which is widely used in construction, automobile, aerospace and other industries. In this process, precise speed and pressure control is essential to ensure product quality. The FD100 series low-voltage inverter from FGI has been widely used in aluminum extrusion equipment for its excellent performance and reliability. The following is about the specific application of FGI FD100 series frequency inverter in aluminum extrusion equipment.

1.Introduction to aluminum extrusion process

Aluminum extrusion process mainly includes the following steps: raw material preparation, heating, extrusion, cooling and subsequent treatment. Among them, the extrusion process requires precise control of the speed of the extruder to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the product. Traditionally, this has often been achieved through mechanical speed-regulating devices or fixed-speed motors, but these methods struggle to meet the flexibility and efficiency requirements of modern production.

Vector control technology: FD100 series frequency inverter adopts advanced vector control algorithm to achieve accurate adjustment of motor speed and torque to ensure speed consistency and stability during extrusion.

(2) Energy-saving and cost-reducing

Optimize energy management: Automatically adjust the working state of the motor according to the actual load demand, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and significantly reducing energy consumption.

(3) Improve equipment reliability

Multiple protection mechanism: built-in overvoltage, undervoltage, short circuit, temperature monitoring and other protection functions to ensure the safe operation of the equipment under various working conditions.

(4) Intelligent management

Support Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet and other communication interfaces, easy to integrate into the existing automatic control system, and achieve remote monitoring and fault diagnosis.

3. Implementation effect

(1）Improve production efficiency

Through precise speed control and intelligent management, the FD100 series frequency inverter significantly improves the overall efficiency of the aluminum extrusion line, reduces the scrap rate, and improves the finished product rate.

(2) Decrease operating costs

In addition to the direct energy-saving effect, due to the reduced frequency of equipment maintenance, maintenance costs are also correspondingly reduced, further reducing the operating costs of enterprises.

(3) Improve the working environment

Thanks to an advanced energy management system, noise levels and heat emissions are effectively controlled, improving the working environment in the workshop and increasing employee job satisfaction.
