Multi Position Cylinder System

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and operational guidelines for the LinMot Multi Position Cylinder (MPC) system. This system includes components such as linear motors, servo controllers, and linear guide units, designed for high dynamic applications requiring precise positioning. The emphasis is on modularity, flexibility, and high dynamic performance suitable for various industrial applications.

Specifications
The MPC system operates with 72VDC power supplies for high dynamic movements and 48VDC for less demanding tasks. It features electronic control of positions within its stroke range, with a position repeatability of 0.1mm. The system includes linear modules, servo controllers capable of storing up to 256 positions, and linear guide units compatible with pneumatic H-Guides. Optional features include MagSpring, mechanical brakes, and cooling fans to enhance performance.

Configuration and Operation
The MPC system is configured using the MPC Configurator software, which simplifies setup by automatically calculating optimal settings for each move. It supports both relative and absolute moves, with positions teachable via a stepping mode or manual adjustment. The system is designed for simple configuration and fast start-up, with digital inputs for control and outputs for diagnostics.

Key Features

High dynamic response and free positioning capabilities.
Configurable press force and teach mode for easy setup.
Position repeatability of 0.1mm.
Optional features include MagSpring for vertical applications and mechanical brakes for safety.

Performance and Limitations
The document includes diagrams illustrating positioning times and payload capacities for various linear module models. It notes that using a 48VDC power supply increases positioning times by at least 50% compared to a 72VDC supply. The system's high dynamics are achieved without mechanical force transmission, ensuring long life and reliability.

Applications
The MPC system is suitable for packaging machines, assembly lines, pick and place operations, production lines, and textile machines. It offers features like free positioning, high dynamic response, and configurable press force, making it versatile for complex tasks.

Conclusion
The LinMot MPC system is a robust and flexible solution for electronic positioning tasks, offering high precision and dynamic performance with minimal setup and maintenance requirements. It is designed for ease of use, fast implementation, and adaptability for a wide range of industrial applications.

Multi Position Cylinder are easy to use electronic positioning units. The MPC system has been specially developed for high dynamic applications and for positioning tasks that requires more than two positions.Multi Position Cylinders are used in: Servo Controller > The Servo Controller are single axes position control units. The multiple programmable set positions are stored in the controller. By activating one of the digital inputs, the move to reach the corresponding set position will be started. As soon as the Linear Module reaches the set position, the corresponding "InPosition" output will...

The MPC's high flexibility guarantees simple solutions and fast implemen- tation even for high dynamic or complex positioning tasks. As there are no time consuming mechanical adjustment with the MPC, start-up is very fast and simple. The entire configuration is limited to select the module type, enter the set positions, speed and payload. Configurable Press Force Free positioning > The MPC may be positioned to any positionwithin the it's stroke range. The po-sitions are controlled electronicallywithout any mechanicalend-stops.Position repeatability is0.1mm (0.004inch). Teach Mode High Dynamic...

The MPC's powerfull microprocessor system assures fast and precise positioning. On a transaction of the input signal, the corresponding command stored in the controller is executed without a delay. The Motor's integrated position sensors permits the MPC controller to monitor end positions without additional limit switches. Not only positions but the whole motion profile between end positions is monitored. This makes it possible to monitor positioning times in order to guarantee process stability over the entire life.1.
