Application Background:
Pick-and-place movements are widely used in many industries to transfer target objects from one place to another, as seen in applications such as goods conveyers, semiconductor/LCD equipment, chip sorter/handler machines, etc.
The Challenge:
Cycle time is vital for performance due to throughput requirements. Servo amplifier parameters have to be finely tuned to fit mechanical designs for best performance. Hence, motion control board selection and servo tuning capabilities are key factors for overall performance.
The solution:
ADLINK's PCI-8154/8158 are advanced pulse train motion controllers that connect servos, steppers, and linear motors to offer high performance positioning control. Their main features include position comparison, trigger output, continuous contouring, and position override. The PCI-8154/8158 offer position override function to assist system integrators with go-around procedures if there is nothing to pick up while in operation and then return to the original place.
The PCI-8154/8158 not only provide high-speed pick-and-place motion, but also incorporate a modulized design ready for expanded functions such as distributed I/O control, ECAM, and high-speed triggering up to 1 MHz.
