Handling
Flexible Automation
Quality control
The C-663 offers a number offeatures to achieve automation
and handling tasks in researchand industry in a very cost-effective way. Programming isfacilitated by the high-level
mnemonic command language
with macro and compound-
command functionality. Mac-
ros can be stored in the
non volatile memory for later recall. For easy synchronization ofmotion with internal or exter-
nal trigger signals four inputand four output lines areprovided. A joystick can also
be connected for manual con-
trol.Stand-alone capability is pro-vided by a user-programmable
autostart macro to run automa-
tion tasks at power up (no run-
time computer communicationrequired!).
TM Step comeswith a wide-range power sup-
ply, RS-232 communications
cables, a USB cable and a com-
prehensive software package.
