Product catalog summary
Company and Product Overview
Galil Motion Control has been a leader in motion control technology since 1983, offering a range of motion controllers known for their power, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. With over 500,000 units sold globally, their products are equipped with advanced features like PID tuning and multitasking, supporting interfaces such as PCI, ISA, USB, and Ethernet.
Motion Controllers
Introduction: The catalog includes a guide for selecting controllers based on communication needs, axes, and I/O requirements. Options include PCI bus, Ethernet/RS232, and other interfaces, supporting 1 to 8 axes.
PCI Bus: Includes high-speed DMC-18x6 Accelera series, cost-effective DMC-18x2 Econo series, and single-axis DMC-1417.
Ethernet/RS232: Features DMC-40x0 Accelera series, AMP series servo drives, and SDM series stepper drives. The DMC-21x3 Econo series offers a budget-friendly solution.
Other Interfaces: Controllers for PC/104, cPCI, ISA, and USB/RS232 are available in Optima and Econo series.
Specifications and Features
Galil controllers are designed for high performance with a 32-bit microprocessor, supporting various motion modes and encoder frequencies up to 22 MHz. They offer advanced PID compensation, multitasking, and compatibility with piezo-ceramic motors. Controllers support 1 to 8 axes and integrate with servo, stepper, and hydraulic systems.
Onboard Intelligence and Reliability
Controllers feature program memory for multitasking, symbolic variables, and event triggers. They boast a typical MTBF of over 250 years and are RoHS compliant, offering cost-effective solutions with bulk purchase discounts.
Ease of Use and Customization
Programming is simplified with intuitive commands and software tools. Controllers like the DMC-40x0 allow direct amplifier attachment, reducing space and cost. Custom firmware and hardware options are available.
Motion Modes and Examples
Controllers support modes like point-to-point, vector motion, and contouring. Examples include joystick control and vector motion with tangential following.
Contouring and 3D Movement
Contouring mode allows arbitrary profile input for complex paths. The document provides examples of 3D Cartesian robot movement and electronic cam and gearing for applications like packaging.
Product Series Overview
The DMC-18x6 and DMC-18x2 Series PCI Bus Controllers are detailed, highlighting features like brushless motor control and extensive I/O capabilities. The DMC-40x0 Series offers high-performance Ethernet/RS232 control for 1 to 8 axes.
Software Tools
Galil provides tools like GalilTools for setup and tuning, SmartTERM for command sending, and MotorSizer™ for system analysis. Programming libraries and ActiveX Tool Kit facilitate interface development.
Support and Training
Galil offers technical support, online resources, and training classes. They guarantee competitive pricing and provide custom solutions with quick turnaround times.
Terms and Conditions
Includes return policy, warranty details, order placement, lead times, and payment terms. Quantity discounts and expedited services are available.
