SynMaster Overview

• SynMaster seamlessly integrates with cloud-based systems to enable smart, value-added functionalities, while also linking with various machines to streamline control. Serving as the central control hub, much like a car’s dashboard, it offers a unified interface to manage all devices in the unit, simplifying operations.
• The system is versatile and can be deployed on both Syntec automation controllers which provide comprehensive support for axis control and I/O management and standard Windows-based industrial PCs. This flexibility allows customers to select the most suitable hardware for their needs, optimizing their automation process without being tied to specific devices.
• Key features of the basic version include: Equipment status display, alarm monitoring, remote start/stop functions, resource value read/write capabilities and file transfers for processing etc.
• SynMaster’s interface is fully customizable to meet various operational needs, allowing users to add: equipment overview, factory renderings, utilization rate tracking. This flexibility ensures that SynMaster can be tailored to meet specific management requirements, driving higher efficiency and enhanced operational control.

Problem Statement

• While the widespread use of industrial robots has significantly improved factory productivity, it has also introduced operational challenges. To ensure operator safety, safety enclosures are typically installed around robots, preventing direct access to machines for tasks like data adjustments (e.g., tool compensation). This limitation can negatively affect the accuracy of machining operations, impacting product quality and dimensional consistency.

Solution and Benefits

• The SynMaster Remote Tool Compensation Module empowers operators to modify machine data directly from outside the safety enclosure, without interrupting robotic operations or opening barriers. This capability allows tool compensation to be done remotely, leading to higher uptime and improved machining precision, all while maintaining a safe working environment.
• SynMaster also supports integration with measurement instruments. By combining measurement data with remote tool compensation functionality, it enables automatic tool compensation on machines without operator intervention, achieving a fully unmanned production line. This automation minimizes human error, optimizes precision, and ensures consistent, high-quality output across production cycles.

No need to interrupt production or enter the safety enclosure;
external tool compensation enhances operational efficiency.

Operators can manually adjust the remote tool compensation table.

By integrating measurement instruments,
SynMaster automatically runs tool compensation.

Supports multi-axis machines from different brands.

Problem Statement

• Is the “Remote Tool Compensation Module” not advanced enough? Operators need a more efficient and automated tool compensation process, with intelligent management and analysis of compensation history to ensure consistent quality.

Solution and Benefits

• The SynMaster “Process Tool Compensation and SPC Module” enhances the functionality of the Remote Tool Compensation Module. It shifts from manual entry of “compensation values” to automatic input of “measurement values,” streamlining the compensation process. SynMaster automatically calculates compensation results, eliminating the need for manual calculations and reducing operator training costs.
• Additionally, the SPC functionality records tool compensation data, transforming it into actionable insights. It calculates and analyzes CPK (Process Capability Index), a key performance indicator of process stability and accuracy. By utilizing CPK, users can more effectively manage quality, significantly improving the consistency and reliability of the manufacturing process.

Problem Statement

• In traditional machining environments, most workpieces typically use the same CNC machining file. However, with the rise of customized production, each product design can be unique. In small-batch, multi-variety production scenarios, different workpieces require different machining files. In the past, factories relied on manual transmission and switching of machine programs, which not only required heavy manual intervention but also failed to achieve full automation.

Solution and Benefits

• The SynMaster process management module first offers a pallet management function, allowing each workpiece to be assigned specific machining programs and processes corresponding to different machines. It also features automatic file transfer, enabling integration with dispatch systems or CAD/CAM software to automatically upload the generated machining files to the machines. Finally, through a series of intuitive process teaching instructions, users can convert traditional manual processes into fully automated solutions.
