The A3200
is an automation platform that coordinates motion
control, vision, robotics, and I/O in a single system. The pre-packaged
integration of the modules software and hardware eliminates large system
integration costs.
The A3200 and associated hardware modules (NDrive® and
NServo) can be used to retrofit aging machines. Existing motors and/or
drives can be used with this new high-tech controller to improve production
rates, shorten setup, and decrease lifecycle cost. This is a low-cost
life extension that adds flexibility to your manufacturing capabilities.
Multi-Block Look Ahead interpolated motion automatically adjusts the
trajectory generation to minimize position error during a small radius
cut.
Built-in 2D and 3D Normalcy eliminates complex trajectory programming.
Helical, Circular, and Linear Interpolation eliminates application programming.
Multiple independent CNC machining
programs can be run on a single controller. They can be setup functional
(one program for motion, one for I/O, one for fault diagnostics), they
can be used to coordinate multiple machines and processes, or run multiple
independent machines.
Built in Jog, Offset, and Return operation provides coordinated multi-axis
motion that can be halted at any time. The axes can continue motion
from the offset tool path or return to the interrupted motion point
and continue along the original path.
Multiple part profiles can be stored in a single A3200 for fast changeover
time.
Dry runs can be done virtually on the desktop, eliminating unnecessary
dry runs on the production floor, and minimizing both setup and changeover
times.
Cutter radius compensation eliminates application programming for every
tool. It can be used to accommodate different tools or to compensate
for tool wear over multiple uses.
A3200 uses standard EAI-274D or G-codes for standard CNC operations,
enabling the use of existing CNC programs.
By making use of the A3200 NControl® SDK, machine builders
can customize the user interface from the ground up to be machine specific.
