Supplier sets up academy to teach motion control
Developments in drive technology and motion control are gaining speed every day and to help users fully profit from these developments an academy provides continuous training.
Linear transport system is fast and flexible
A linear transport system for vacuum applications, based on linear motor technology, allows for fast, flexible, continuous and thus cheap production for optical, display and photovoltaic industries.
As part of its ongoing software development program, Nyquist Industrial Control has extended its software package for the NYCe3000 motion controller series and the FirePoint motion and input/output controllers.
As a result, NYCe3000 motion controllers for high-end coordinated motion and the FirePoint product family for input/output and non-coordinated motion control can now easily be integrated into a single system.
This means that both platforms are now programmable via one universal interface.

Motion control system reduces integration costs
A rugged, high-end, industrial motion control system with integrated drive technology in a single box has everything necessary to control a complex machine and improves serviceability.
In addition to the usual quality improvements based on extensive field experience, the new software release 3.1 also includes a large number of functional improvements, as illustrated by the following few examples, which are not exhaustive.
Remote procedure calls (RPC) RPC allows motion control applications to run on any PC in a network, connected to an embedded motion controller with integrated PC.
Using this feature, engineers at the technical headquarter can run any (test) application controlling a machine at a totally different location.
This makes testing more effective because the engineer can use his own PC with his own tools on it and it saves travelling time.
Faster spline handling This functionality enables smaller spline (PVT) segments, which in turn means higher accuracy movement along multi-axes paths.
This enables machines to produce and handle products with smaller tolerances.
This gives engineers the ability to define paths and contours more precise with an increase of accuracy of production and handling of products up to 30%.
Improved CT3000 support for M'Ax and MultiAx drives This gives additional encoder input, improved safety handling, absolute homing and homing persistency functions for these Control Techniques drives.
This has already led to substantial benefits in controlling packaging equipment.
Further tools The installation CD of this new software release also includes a number of sophisticated tools developed and used by Nyquist's own motion engineers.
These tools are valuable to users capable of interpreting detailed information derived from the system.
One example of these tools is NYCeFreq, a frequency analysis tool that can be used to optimize motion control behaviour.
