The NYCe system from Nyquist Industrial Control is not just suitable for advanced high-tech control, but it can also be used for controlling CNC applications.
The NYCe system from Nyquist Industrial Control is not just suitable for advanced high-tech control, but it can also be used for controlling CNC applications.
At the Hannover Fair, Nyquist demonstrated how its motion control technology (the Nyquist KS3000), combined with the advanced and fully digital Servostar 600 of Kollmorgen-Seidel, enables easy control of a CNC machine.
This will result in a more accurate, more dynamic, faster, and safer machine.
For this project, Nyquist uses a five-axis cutting machine, made available by the Institut fur Steuerungstechnik der Werkzeugmaschinen und Fertigungseinrichtungen (ISW) from Stuttgart.
In co-operation with Industrielle Steuerungstechnik (ISG), Nyquist developed a prototype that is based on the PC-based NYCe3000 control platform with its open and versatile software.
In addition to the Servostar 600 (Kollmorgen-Seidel) in combination with the Nyquist KS3000, this CNC control may be linked equally simply to the digital M'Ax servo amplifier of Control Techniques in combination with the Nyquist CT3000.
The ISG software has been integrated in the Nyquist software.
For this, Nyquist uses a standard PC, standard available external connections such as Ethernet and FireWire IEEE 1394, and the usual Windows control system with the relevant drivers.
This soft CNC solution allows users to continue to use a CNC interface and trajectory generator, with all the added advantages of special motion control features, such as error groups and the linking of axes.
Other benefits offered by Nyquist motion controllers are higher accuracy and more dynamic, faster and safer machines.
This soft CNC solution is very well suited for the control of both special machines, for which the CNC machines currently available on the market do not suffice, and special robot control.
Nyquist has made effective use of open software and evolved the PC into a component of machine control.
This makes belt cables and the corresponding plug-in card things of the past and the soft CNC solution can be combined with soft PLC or integrated into a CAD-CAM package.
The CNC software supports the standard DIN66025 G-code and has a comprehensive library of kinematic transformations that can also be changed dynamically.
