Delta Tau Advantage 900 CNC Control



New Operator Console with Integrated Controller/Amplifier is an Easy to Setup, Cost Effective, Open Architecture Solution for CNC Machines

The Advantage 900 CNC package combines a sleek operator console with a four, six or eight-axis controller/amplifier specifically designed to meet next-generation CNC control requirements. The 900 CNC leverages the capabilities of the operator interface PC, while utilizing a real-time DSP to handle the motion related tasks of the CNC machine. This combination delivers a cost effective PC front end with true real-time servo performance at the servo.

The integrated digital amplifier and control streamlines the manufacturing process, which significantly reduces the cost to the end user.

Additional cost savings flow to the consumer with a greatly reduced installation process, which requires less wiring, space and setup time.

Because the 900 CNC is modular, it allows an infinite number of machine configurations.

The 900 CNC supports high-speed machining, dynamic multi-block segmented look-ahead for path fidelity at any speed, forward and inverse kinematics for non-traditional mechanical configurations, 5-axis programming capability, and lead screw and backlash compensation.

The 900 CNC features a 15-inch LCD screen, customizable operator controls, wireless remote pendant with user-definable function keys, an embedded industrial PC, the new user configurable 5.0 HMI NC software, and the NC Autopilot quick setup tool, all in a slim line design with four, six, or eight axis Geo Brick controller/amplifier combination. Integration and connectivity between the operator console and the smart servo amplifier utilizes a single USB2.0 interface cable. To complete a CNC control system with the 900 CNC, the requirements are the motors and a minimum amount of field wiring.

A CNC Autopilot setup utility simplifies integration by automatically creating the configuration files for a particular machine. An Autotune software feature speeds the user through motor setup. The NC5.0 GUI was designed using the PMAC HMI program, providing the end user with an easy-to-use customize the NC software interface for specific applications.

The PMAC NC 5.0 for Windows software executes standards RS274 G-Code programs and has a wealth of diagnostic screens and tools.
