Application example

PFA monitors press process by waveform
DO NOT miss NOK workpieces
Servo motor controller is equipped. Even beginner of motor control can create simple sequence by using touch panel setup.
 

Features

Monitoring using waveform display

■ 2 input: Force & Displacement


■ OK/ NOK judgment at 2 inputs

Pressure, force, torque sensor on Y-axis.
A displacement/rotation angle sensor is connected to the X-axis, and two-dimensional OK/NOK judgment is possible.




■ Two types of waveform display



■ Waveform comparison judgment
Always compare preset waveform and measured waveform.
If even one point exceeds the preset waveform, it will be judged as NOK.




■ Utilization of waveform comparison
Judgment will output at the moment the preset waveform is touched, so it can be used for branching the sequence operation.



Multi-point judgment

OK/NOK judgment can be done in one single process. (Max. 5 points)
Choose from a variety of hold functions.

<Jugdment range>
Can choose from various condition like external
signal, displacement, sequence linkage, etc.

Trend analysis

With trend analysis, abnormality can be detected earlier to prevent unwanted failures.

Force and position control is selectable

Motor control function

Motor control uses versatile pulse input/output.
Compatible with various motors.

Templates are available for frequently used sequence.
Press behavior can be decided by inputting speed, position, and other parameters.

Screw tightening management template compliant to torque method & turning angle method is also available.
Can be used as controllers for tension & compression test machines, bending testing machine & endurance test machine as well.

High accuracy & high responsive press control

Retrieves measured value from a load cell with the sampling speed of 5000 times/sec. and performs feedback control with 5 kHz responsiveness.
Compared with conventional press systems, achieve higher-accuracy & higher-responsive press control.







Various commands

Complex sequences such as load limits during position control and linkage between control and measurement can be easily set.

 



Sequence can be branched out

Sequence can be branched out based on the condition of current load, current displacement, I/O, timer, counter, etc.
