XYZ tables lay down gaskets in diesel engines
Unimatic positioning tables are being used in computerised fluid dispensing systems to lay silicone gaskets onto oil coolers and blanking plates in Perkins diesel engines.
A further option is stepper axes with encoder verification.
Ideally suited to controlling motion tasks such as cams, gears, linked axes and interpolation, the PCI 208 is easy to program for the most complex of applications thanks to its comprehensive command set.
The PCI 208 features 20 optoisolated digital 24V inputs and 10 optoisolated outputs.
The inputs can be used, for example, as high-speed hardware registration inputs for highly accurate control of print and packaging lines, and the overall I/O count can be expanded using Trio CANbus digital and analogue modules - the PCI 208 features two built-in CAN channels for I/O and axis control.
Standard connection to the outside world is via a 100-way MDR connector, whilst a DIN-rail mounting breakout board is also available to simplify wiring if required. Request a free brochure from Unimatic Engineers ...
