Mechatronic Features
Mechatronic functionality is based on simple parameter assignment and programming in the motion control software. The conversion to machine functions is handled by servo drives and standardised mechanical components.
The Mechatronic solution is the development of a new concept in implementing complex motion control tasks.
Advantages of a mechatronic solution:
- Greater flexibility in machine design
- Significant increase in the clock-pulse rate through optimization of axis motions
- Reduced setup time allows change over to a different product at the touch of a button without changing any mechanical components
- Reduced number of parts subject to wear and reduced maintenance cost
- High output rate
- Uniform product quality
- Flexible machinery
- Short delivery times and low price due to fast production
Engineering Software - SIMOTION SCOUT
The SCOUT project navigator is the common frame for all tools of the engineering system. This workbench is therefore the navigation center for the individual engineering steps.
It is used for creating and managing SIMOTION projects and offers a uniform view of all data and programs.
The major innovation is the graphic motion control via Motion Control Chart.
The Technological Tree Structure of the project contains:
- All devices (control, drives etc.),
- All technological objects (axes, cams, cam plates etc.) and
- User programs in filterable hierarchic views.
Benefits of using SIMOTION:
- Optimum user-friendliness through integrated, function-oriented views and intuitive operation
- Centralized data and program administration, even in distributed systems
- Function-oriented, technological project structure with filterable views
- Fast access to the individual engineering tools such as configuration, programming and commissioning
