GFX High Speed Sorting Application

INTRODUCTION

Linear motion experts HepcoMotion have worked with Beckhoff to develop specialised versions of the PRT2 and 1-Trak guidance systems to work with the Beckhoff XTS eXtended Transport System. This option meets the needs of higher duty XTS applications where motion profiles and long term durability requirements are particularly demanding.

The Beckhoff XTS eXtended Transport System uses linear motor technology to drive independently controlled movers around a track. This provides a solution for complex, high speed motion profiles up to 4m/s, without compromising positional accuracy. The system integrates Hepco’s patented 1-Trak guidance system and three bearing mover, providing the optimum mover path for Beckhoff’s 180° motor modules. 1-Trak systems consist of an aluminium base plate with 1-Trak end segments and custom ground straight slides attached, providing rigidity and the highest level of accuracy and precision.

Hepco’s PRT2 systems are compatible with motor module segment sizes 22.5° and 45°, offering solutions for larger applications.

Based on Hepco’s standard PRT2 range, track solutions can be configured into circular, oval and rectangular systems as standard, and can be supplied as complete factory assembled systems, semi-assembled track systems or components.Stainless steel versions are available for all track solutions and can be  adapted to suit customers’ needs.

Features and Benefits

  • Hardened V guidance maintains accuracy over long periods
  • Low maintenance bleed lubrication system
  • All systems available in stainless steel
  • Available with food compatible grease
  • High rigidity
  • Removable track section for easy maintenance

Weintek – PLC Web Browser – Access PLC webpages on your HMI

Weintek Logo
Facing the IoT era, we are seeing a growing number of PLCs, controllers, and embedded devices supporting built-in web server, which allows users to adjust system parameters or monitor device status directly on its webpage. In response to this growth in web popularity, Weintek has added support for the PLC Web Browser feature in the new cMT X Series. PLC Web Browser provides HMI with a quick, convenient way to access the webpages and eliminates the need for a dedicated web browsing device, leading to not only an increase in operational efficiency but also cost saving.
PLC Web Browser Features

l   HTTPS, HTML5 Support

PLC Web Browser supports HTTPS and most HTML5 webpages.

 

l   Flexible Browsing Tool

PLC Web Browser provides browsing tool buttons such as previous / next page, zoom in / out, and return to homepage…etc. In addition, browser control is integrated with HMI, meaning that it is possible to implement features such as page navigation, URL bookmarking, instant URL update, or automatic page change…etc, through control by registers.

 

l   Customizable Execution Mode

PLC Web Browser, being a screen object, can be displayed and run along with other screen elements on HMI, but it can also be flexibly designed as a Kiosk mode (full screen) application in EasyBuilder Pro.

 

With PLC Web Browser feature, HMI is empowered with greater connectivity and plays an even more important role in an automated manufacturing system.

 

Information: Supported models, software / OS versions, and limitations related to PLC Web Browser are shown in the table below.

 

Model cMT3072X/cMT3072XH cMT3092X/cMT3151X/cMT3162X
Software EasyBuilder Pro V6.05.01 or later EasyBuilder Pro V6.05.02 or later
OS 20200723 or later 20201202 or later
Limitation
  1. Not supported on devices with CODESYS activated.
  2. Displaying a relatively complex web page using PLC Web Browser may occupy excessive memory. When this happens, the system will automatically stop PLC Web Browser to ensure normal operation of other features on HMI.

OPTEX FA : CDX SERIES_ULTRA HIGH-ACCURACY LASER DISPLACEMENT SENSOR

Category : Displacement Sensor
Light Source : Laser

Realize World’s No. 1 Linearity

  • Featuring the World’s No. 1 linearity that easily satisfies the [+/-0.015% F.S.] catalog specification, CDX series models realize measurements with significantly higher levels of accuracy than the conventional model.
  • For triangulation method diffuse-reflective type displacement sensors.
  • Optex FA investigation performed November 2016.
  • Workpiece angle: +/-0°, diffuse mode.
    For measurement conditions, refer to the footnote of Lineup/specifications.”

A fusion of ultra high-accuracy and ease-of-use   

  • Measurement accuracy that we have accumulated know-how over decades , since our first laser displacement sensor was introduced to market.
  • A simple system structure from research of various user needs and operability with a new concept of a built-in Web server for displacement sensors.

maxon’s precision drives on Mars

Mars missions without maxon drive systems? Unthinkable! In the last three decades, maxon’s DC and BLDC motors have been used in virtually all successful robot missions – from Sojourner in 1997 to the InSight probe. More than 100 actuators are already on the Red Planet and the number goes up with NASA’s Perseverance rover and the first Mars Helicopter Ingenuity. In this video, you will find every Mars rover, its main contribution as well as details and positions of each maxon electric motor.

UNIVERSAL ROBOT : Register for our webinar

Register for our webinar

How are cobots revolutionising the manufacturing industry?

If you are in manufacturing it is likely that you may already know Universal Robots (UR). We continue to drive manufacturing throughout the world in SME and large companies through ease – ease of use, ease of application and ease of redeployment.

In this Webinar we will explain the advantages of UR and its ecosystem and look at where you can use UR in your facilities – in places you may not have expected. Cobots are not the same as traditional industrial robots but it’s the differences that make UR a better fit in some applications.

Join this one hour webinar to explore the applications that fit with UR and current APAC expectations. After we finish you may have another location in your factory that a UR Cobot makes sense!
