Motion controller takes on 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.
It also extends uptime and greatly improves serviceability said the company.
The NYCe4000 is designed for applications where low-power servo axes and stepper axes are driven by motors up to 500W and where high demands are placed on motion-control.
Nyquist believes it will fill a need in market segments such as the semiconductor and medical industry, where speed and accuracy combined with low cost and fast time to market are essential.
The control system utilises advances in miniaturisation and is said to be smaller than a compact industrial PC.
Despite its small dimensions, the NYCEe4000 is claimed to provide full multiple-axes motion control and configurable safety functions.
An individual NYCe4000 is compliant with both UL and EMC standards and makes it possible to control a machine or a machine subsystem with up to 10 axes and with a total of 100 digital inputs and outputs with a maximum of 62 units in a network said Nyquist.
A set of professional tools is provided for system tuning and for diagnostic purposes and a variety of measurement systems are supported, including traditional encoders, SinCos encoders, LVDT systems, EnDat and others.
The integration of a flexible, universal drive with the motion control system makes it suitable for both servo and stepper motors said the manufacturer.
That enables cost savings in the service channel by opening up the possibility of controlling all motors in a machine with the same drive type.
Nyquist said the system is designed for easy integration of a customer-specific connector board, as it requires no additional external connector panels because the connectors of sensors used in a machine can be plugged directly into the motion-control system.
