Label synchronisation
In the packaging and printing industry, synchronisa-
tion of a slave axis to printed labels is often neces-
sary in order to compensate for material slip. If the
slave position is adjusted by the amount of slip, cal-
culated between product and label sensor, the error
can be corrected until the next label appears.
Starting synchronisation
When the master is at a standstill
The slave is informed of the master's present posi-
tion before the start. Recording of the master posi-
tion is initiated by a control input.
When the master is moving
Targeted start of master position recording:
a)
Statically or dynamically via a
control input
.
b) Via a
control input
in conjunction with the next
edge of the encoder index track.
c)
Edge-triggered via
a control input
for a single
master cycle.
Application:
Asynchronous starting of a profile which must be
referenced to a product carried on a belt at regu-
lar intervals.
Cam design service
When working with applications for the COMPAX
XX70 electronic cam generator, there is always the
option of having Hauser create all the necessary
profile data.
The Technical Support department will perform this
task as a service which is charged according to cost.
A program called "Optimus Motus" is used as a soft-
ware design tool. Depending on the application, this
software tool can be used to implement many differ-
ent types of motion profile. This offers the possibility
of optimising the acceleration requirements of the
application and therefore selecting the most eco-
nomic motor/controller combination.
Example: Cam design using the "Optimus Motus" program
