| Packing operations require
the controller to facilitate fast and frequent line changeover while
being scalable and reliable.
LOAD AND UNLOAD
Packing operations require coordinated motion with the conveyor for
the loading and unloading operation, with fast changeover for new products.
The Automation 3200 can either control all of the motion or interface
with existing motors
and amplifiers.
MARKING AND PRINTING
Marking and printing applications that require real-time synchronization
with the PLC can benefit from the A3200.
LABELING
Accurate label placement requires a motion
controller that can respond to changes in line speed and quickly
initiate an overlay motion. Typically, product travels through the label
machine on a conveyor. However, the conveyor can change speeds. This
requires the labeling mechanism to remain synchronous with the product
conveyor, and the A3200 provides this synchronization.
SCRIBING
Ceramic scribing requiring high-speed coordinated motion has been done
with Aerotech controls.
HIGH-SPEED REGISTRATION
High-speed registration is used in the precise control of printing,
rotary knife, flying cutoff, die cutting, and feed-to-mark applications.
ELECTRONIC GEARING
Electronic line shaft master/slave control with programmable ratio and
phase. Synchronize control of unwind, rewind, tension, and
registration in applications involving printing, coating, laminating,
perforating, and slitting. |
