OVM Pro 3D is an online tool designed to change the way vacuum systems are configured, simulated, and optimized.
Meaning "Optimal Vacuum Management Professional," the tool uses 3D modeling and simulation to streamline the system design process online, offering benefits from control and efficiency to cost savings.
The software will be provided in an open format on piab.com with features that improve user experience and enable detailed performance insights.
One of the most notable functions is the application for corrugated cardboard. This feature includes a step-by-step wizard to define the cardboard used in the corrugated carton box, mimicking real-life leakage parameters and vacuum level tests.
Users can fine-tune the carton sealing quality with a sliding bar, ensuring precise dimensioning of the vacuum system for carton boxes.
Features:
- After login, the design process takes off from the user's enterprise and process needs, offering full integration of Piab's range of vacuum ejector pumps, suction cups, grippers, fittings, and accessories.
- Detailed guidance is provided throughout the design process, including descriptions and technical data such as actual compressed-air ranges for selected ejectors and optimal pressures.
- Lifting force graph displays total horizontal and vertical forces throughout the entire cycle, with separate performance data for suction cups, highlighting the lowest and highest values.
- The application visualizes compressor power usage, helping users understand and dimension the size and capacity of the compressor needed. Estimated daily (8-h shift) compressor electricity power consumption is also displayed to support energy cost discussions.
- Performance data is placed on the left side with a scroll function. Hovering over the data zooms in on the specific product and dims excluded components, facilitating a clearer view of performance data such as time to reach a set vacuum level in that node.
- Users can directly edit tube lengths, which are marked with a "Z" and locked to maintain their length even if components are moved.
- The graph feature includes a zoom function for better observation during crucial time frames, and a visual checklist ensures all steps are completed before calculations.
