3D prinitng, PLC programing & soap press
We were recently tasked with automating an existing press by a cusotmer whom wanted to use the press to press emblems into soap. So we accepted the existing pneumatic press.
We wrote some PLC code to automate the press which included permissives to protect the press operator as well as to protect the pneumatic components.
Just after completing the press for one soap manufacturing customer we were then tasked by another soap manufacturing customer to 3D print the emblem to be pressed into the soap.
We 3D printed in ABS plastic.
