For users of its Unidrive SP (Solutions Platform) drive, Control Techniques has introduced ‘Motion Made Easy’ – a powerful, easy to use full 1.5 axis motion control module that simply ‘clicks’ into any one of three universal option slots on the drive.
SM-EZMotion is a motion controller that simply plugs into the Unidrive SP with software, therefore taking up no extra cubicle space. With six high speed digital I/O points, as well as seven digital I/O and five analogue I/O that are standard on the Unidrive, the module has its own internal processor and provides 1.5 axis motion, synchronised to a reference encoder.
As well as saving space, the new package eliminates the need for extra cabling and reduces the chance of termination errors. And programming takes a matter of minutes since no special training is necessary.
SM-EZMotion gives rapid set-up; fill-in-the-dialogue-box programming that achieves motion profiles quickly and reliably for OEMs, integrators, machine builders and end users. The new package is ideal for things like conveyor synchronisation; electronic gearing or camming; flying cut-off; registration control; labelling and printing; phase synchronisation; rotary knives; slip compensation; and point-to-point positioning.
