BMW's all new engine plant will use an integrated motion and control package consisting of control systems, servo drives, hydraulics and pneumatics, supplied by Rexroth
The use of MS Windows gives a highly visual graphical representation of the design process, which simplifies the complicated procedures necessary for advanced design.
In a further development of the simplification principle, Indramat has included "canned functions", where series of programming operations may be "canned" or grouped together.
The Visualmotion system excels at positioning, speed control and torque and force control.
It enables simplified machine construction with increased flexibility and improved precision.
These features bring the benefits of reduced installation time and reduced operating cost.
Visualmotion is especially suitable for all general handling and assembly functions.
Version 7 may be used with the new higher speed power PC processor, but its open architecture also enables the system to be used with Sercos interface and ISA bus.
Visualmotion is a universal system; it includes the control card, HMI, conventional and frameless, both air and liquid cooled.
