• Surgical tubing winder• Positioning tables
Application description: Application description:
A manufacturer of surgical tubing winds the tubing on a spoolwith a constant tension,which is critical so as not to deform thetubing shape or size. A manufacturer is making positioning tables which move under asensor used to measure the solder levels on a printed circuit board.A two-axis
motion controller with a PLC is part of their existingset-up.
Application requirements:
•Constant tension provided by winding spool•Reciprocating tube position guide•Tube guide and tensioning must compensate for process speedvariations
Application requirements:
•Two actuators mounted carrier-to-base•Minimized vibration•Attractive Package•Motor and Drive for each axis
•Speed requirement of 4 inches per second for each axis•Space is limited
•Cost-effective drive/motor/actuator package• Maximum load deflection:.0001”
Tol-O-Matic solution:
For precise tension control,the AXIOM DV10 drive operates intorque mode,with a MRV
brushless servo motor and provides an
optimal solution.The controller must be able to provide torqueadjustment that is inversely proportional to the spool diameter.
This adjustment will be made each time the tube position guidechanges direction.The controller must also be able to provide
linear interpolation between the spool motor position and thereciprocating tube guide position.A low-cost solution for thereciprocating guide is a BCS Series screw-drive actuator driven by
a customer supplied microstepping drive and
stepper motor.Therefore,the controller must be able to provide an analog torquesignal for the
servo drive as well as a step-and-direction signal for
the microstepping drive.Also,the controller must be able tosupply a correction algorithm for tension control with linear
interpolation between the two axes.
Tol-O-Matic solution:
Space is a concern in this application,so the TKS10 screw-driveactuator with a reverse parallel option was selected to reducelength.Two 23-frame
brushless servo motors were selected for the
most repeatable solution.An Axiom PV controller/drive waschosen for this application.
