Motion controller provides synchronized motion of multiple axes

摘要

DELTA COMPUTER SYSTEMS Inc., Battle Ground, Wash., recently introduced an enhanced motion-control synchronizing feature for press applications. Historically, multiram presses have used very heavy guides and platens to prevent skewing. Delta's RMC150 motion controller now offers electronic position-force synchronization that gives lighter machines more-accurate control of total force while keeping ram positions within a few thousandths of an inch of each other. The two figures show the minimal skew obtained with a highly uneven load.
