The Simple Motion module is provided with synchronous and cam controls required for food processing machines and packaging machines. Combined with the Mitsubishi Electric's high-performance servo amplifier, the Simple Motion module enables downsizing of machinery while achieving outstanding performance. In addition, our extensive engineering environment allows you to create desired systems with ease.
The Simple Motion module can consolidate multiple servo amplifier parameters, shortening the startup time further. Also, operation information, such as power consumption and total power consumption of the servo amplifiers, can be monitored in real time, which enables further reduction in maintenance time.
Not only rotary servo motors but also linear servo motors, direct drive motors, FR-A800 series inverters, and products of Mitsubishi Electric servo system partners are connectable.
(Note-1): When using a partner product or the inverter FR-A800, use one whose version supports the Simple Motion module.
(Note): SSCNET (Servo System Controller Network)
Positioning control is easily performed with a sequence program starting positioning data of a point table. To respond to extensive applications, various positioning controls are available: Linear interpolation, 2-axis circular interpolation, fixed-pitch feed, and continuous trajectory controls, etc.
The advanced synchronous control is software-based synchronous control as an alternative to mechanical control, such as gear, shaft, clutch, speed change gear and cam. In addition, cam control becomes even easier with cam auto-generation function.
The synchronous control can be flexibly started/ended for each axis, allowing the synchronous control axis and positioning control axis to be used within the same program.
[Command generation axis]
Command generation axis is the axis that performs only the command generation.
It is controlled independently of other axes connected to servo amplifiers.
(not counted as a control axis)
Cams for rotary knife can be
generated automatically.
An ideal cam data can be created
just by registering sheet length,
synchronous width, and cam
resolution to the specified device
memory on GOT screen.
The actual position of the servo motor can be obtained based on the inputs from the sensor that detects the registration marks printed on the highspeed moving film. By compensating the cutter axis position errors based on those inputs from the sensor, the film can be cut at the set position.
