Intelligent Motion Control is extending the output torques of servo and stepper motors to class leading levels with the introduction of the new Ultratrue 22 from Thomson Micron.
Servo actuators have better dynamic response
The hollow shaft design of Inmoco's new Bautz servo linear actuators reduces weight significantly, providing improved dynamic response and enabling travel velocities up to 500mm/s to be achieved.
The 2700 Series automation controllers are designed for applications that demand ultrafast response times or real-time multitasking machine control.
Employing a multiprocessor architecture that distributes the workload, they offer the capability to run 84 independent tasks, simultaneously.
This ability, combined with the advanced motion commands available on the controllers, and the facility for Ethernet, DeviceNet or serial communications, enables OEMs and users to design sophisticated solutions for the most complex of applications.
Supplied in a simple panel-mounting format, the 2700 controllers are supported by a wide range of modules, making them easy to adapt to specific applications.
The modules enable the 2700 units to provide combined control of machine sequencing, motion control, analogue data acquisition and networking, at a cost below that of competing systems.
Complementing the modular structure of the 2700 series units is a large 128Kbyte of user memory, extended I/O (up to 512) and up to 16 axes of motion control.
These extended user facilities are leveraged in specific applications through the use of CTC's Quickstep, a powerful automation language, which dramatically reduces programming time.
In addition to providing the ability to run 84 simultaneous tasks, the capabilities of Quickstep include high level motion commands, math and data manipulation commands, as well as time delay and I/O monitoring. Request a free brochure from Inmoco ...
