ACS Motion Controllers Meet the Demands of Electronic and Test Assembly Applications
Customized algorithms give customers precise control for any application...
PLYMOUTH, MN (July 9, 2008) - ACS Motion Control, an international manufacturer of
advanced multi-axis motion controllers, machine control systems and integrated control
modules, has designed high-performance motion control modules for electronic and test
assembly applications. ACS' SPiiPlus Series and MC4U Series motion controllers combine
high velocities of meters per second with sub-micron resolution using Sin-Cos multipliers for optimal accuracy.
All ACS Motion Control products provide servo control algorithm execution at a fixed rate of 20kHz for each axis. Proprietary techniques, such as a true thirdorder
motion profile, allow ACS motion controllers to significantly reduce settling time and
vibration, maximizing the throughput of the system.
"Ideal for electronic and test assembly applications, our high-performance, all digital
motion control modules provide wide bandwidth, while delivering exceptional dynamic
tracking, fast settling and excellent smoothness at low and high velocities," said Evan Reed, ACS Vice President. "Regardless of the complexity of the application, ACS has a motion control module that provides the precise control required."
ACS motion controllers offer distributed multi-processor control architecture that
guarantee high-performance motion. The controllers can change motion profiles on-the-fly
based on vision sensor input.
CONTROLLERS MEET THE DEMANDS OF ELECTRONIC AND TEST ASSEMBLY APPS
ACS motion controllers can also provide sub-nanometer position interpolation of sincos
encoder feedback. Advanced, flexible and easy to adjust PIV control algorithms and
filters that can be customized to address special needs. Moreover, with a unique Frequency Response Function (FRF) analysis and filter design tool, users can quantify system bandwidth and stability by calculating and presenting the phase and gain margins.
All ACS motion controllers feature a powerful software environment that includes an
extensive tool suite to shorten machine development cycles and time-to-market deployment.
Optimized for motion control applications, ACS' software tools provide easy setup, tuning and programming and application simulation. The software enables the implementation of highly complex motion-time-event sequences with accurate positioning and timing. In addition, up to ten programs can run simultaneously with multiple interactions and synchronized processes.
The PLC Open compliant control software is designed to support the IEC61131-3
programming language and allows users to program using any of the five languages in
addition to ACSPL+. The software provides fully variable mapping that enables flexible bidirectional interfacing, mutual synchronization, and functionality exchange between
ACSPL+ and IEC 61131-3 programs. The addition of full CANOpen support allows SPiiPlus
motion controllers to be configured as a CANOpen Master, according to the DS-402
specification, and control up to 64 nodes of motion or I/O. The free motion simulator can be downloaded at www.acsmotioncontrol.com
