Window & Door Notching Machine Solution

01
Project Background

With the continuous growth of the global construction industry, particularly the promotion of green buildings and energy-efficient windows and doors, the demand for high-precision window and door processing equipment has significantly increased. The widespread use of aluminum alloy, PVC steel, and other profiles has led to higher requirements for corner assembly processes in window and door manufacturing. Traditional manual notching is inefficient and lacks precision, making it difficult to meet modern quality standards. The FATEK Window & Door Notching Machine (SC3) enhances the accuracy of corner joints and processing efficiency through automated slot and notch cutting, becoming a critical piece of equipment in window and door production. Additionally, rising labor costs are accelerating the automation transition in window and door factories. The notching machine can replace manual labor in highly repetitive tasks, reducing reliance on skilled workers and further driving market demand. The urbanization of emerging markets such as China and Southeast Asia is speeding up, leading to continuous expansion in window and door production capacity and creating vast market opportunities for notching machine projects. Meanwhile, intelligence, high precision, and multifunctionality have become key trends in the development of notching machine technology. The application of CNC systems, servo drives, and smart detection technology is steadily improving equipment performance and competitiveness.

Efficient and Reliable Professional Solution
The window and door notching machine control system adopts a dual FATEK B1-series PLC master-slave architecture, utilizing RS485 serial communication for data exchange and traditional pulse control to drive the SC3-series servo motors. The master and slave PLCs enable multi-axis motion control, achieving three-axis synchronous machining through precise pulse timing. The FATEK P5-series HMI provides a user-friendly interface with built-in recipe storage, allowing quick switching between different product processing parameters. The mechanical system employs precision ball screw transmission paired with servo motors for stable operation. This solution enhances system reliability while maintaining control accuracy through the coordinated operation of dual PLCs, featuring easy maintenance and high cost-effectiveness—making it particularly suitable for automation upgrades in traditional window and door manufacturing. The system includes basic fault detection, triggering automatic alarms and shutdowns in case of abnormalities to ensure production safety.

FATEK Makes You Stand Out

► High-Precision Motion Control Advantages
Direct pulse command driving: The FATEK B1-series host directly controls the SC3-series servo motors via high-speed pulse output, enabling accurate position command transmission without protocol conversion.
Simplified multi-axis synchronization: Hardware pulse signals coordinate multi-axis movements, providing more straightforward timing control, ideal for repetitive positioning tasks.

► Cost and Maintenance Advantages
Lower hardware costs: No additional communication modules or high-end drives required, resulting in a simpler system configuration.
Strong compatibility: Supports hybrid use of pulse-type servo motors from different brands, suitable for retrofitting older equipment.
Easy maintenance: Standardized wiring and intuitive fault diagnosis lower the technical threshold.

► Noise Immunity and Reliability Advantages
High signal stability: Pulse transmission is less affected by electromagnetic interference, maintaining reliability even over long-distance wiring.
Independent control: A single-axis failure does not affect other axes, enhancing system fault tolerance.
