Virtual camshaft synchronises drives
Hayes Control Systems is launching a new version of the proven Beckhoff TwinCAT PC software system for PLC and NC motion control, which incorporates a new virtual camshaft facility.
The amplifiers are supplied with integral EMC filters which ensure easy, problem-free installation, even in sensitive environments, while the unique Beckhoff open fieldbus interface allows straightforward integration with most major fieldbus systems, including Profibus, SERCOS, and Beckhoff's own Lightbus fibre optic system.
The Beckhoff servo motors supplied by Hayes Control Systems are permanent magnet types which use neodymium magnetic material.
They feature low inertia, ensuring fast response times, and they have excellent overload characteristics.
The motors are fitted, as standard, with two-pole hollow-shaft resolvers, and a holding brake may be specified as an option.
The motors have an IP65 protection rating, allowing them to be used in even the most demanding industrial environments, and to ensure reliable operation under all operating conditions, they incorporate temperature sensors in the stator windings.
If, during operation, permitted temperatures are exceeded, the sensors report this information to the servo amplifier via the resolver cable, allowing appropriate remedial action to be taken.
Hayes Control Systems is the leading UK expert in the design and supply of complete automation solutions based on open-architecture PC technology.
The company is the exclusive UK distributor for Beckhoff in Germany, whose products include fieldbus-independent input/output systems, industrial PCs, and soft programmable controllers which use standard PC hardware, and which can also provide sophisticated motion control functions.
In all of its product areas, Hayes Control Systems champions an open-systems approach which avoids the technical limitations, high costs and restricted availability associated with proprietary equipment.
