We would like to introduce a case study on the collaboration between XYθ plane parallel mechanism control and image processing. In the XYθ plane parallel mechanism, three-axis parallel control is essential. Conventional servo controllers lack the functionality for mechanism transformation and could not issue operation commands in the orthogonal system of XYθ. This challenge was addressed with the one-board motion controller "SLM4000." By incorporating dedicated mechanism transformation processing within this product, we achieved command execution in the orthogonal system (XYθ), allowing for advantages such as utilization as an automated machine through G-code and Techno language. [Challenges] - Issue commands in the orthogonal system (XYθ) - Operate precisely with high-accuracy trajectory control - Function as an automated machine (production machine) compatible with G-code and robot language - Easily integrate with image processing *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce a case study on controlling multiple robots using "PC-based Fine Motion." Typically, one robot is controlled by one motion controller, making it difficult to achieve synchronized control with conveyors or between robots. However, in the case of our PC-based Fine Motion, it can control multiple units, allowing for synchronized control, reducing costs, and minimizing the size of the control panel, providing significant advantages. [Case Overview] - Objective: Control of multiple robots - Challenge: Difficulties in synchronized control with conveyors and between robots - Product Used: PC-based Fine Motion - Result: Control of three robots and a conveyor with one unit *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

With the introduction of the one-board motion controller "SLM4000," we would like to present a case where dedicated tasks were achieved using a tabletop mounting machine. By automating tasks that require a person to sit and work, it is necessary to achieve labor savings, cost reduction, increased productivity, and improved quality. This required dedicated functions and robot control to enable machines like tabletop robots to perform specialized tasks. The introduction of this product allowed for easy and standardized control of axes, I/O, and displays (man-machine interface) all at once. We were able to gain advantages such as achieving motion accuracy equivalent to general-purpose NC. 【Challenges (partial)】 ■ We want to apply a specified amount of material at a specified position and timing for sealing and bonding. ■ We want to control the torque at a specified position for screw tightening. ■ The tasks are intricate, so we want to enable them to be performed on a tabletop. ■ By using a tabletop machine, we want to achieve reductions in electrical components and eliminate the need for control panel space. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of a winding machine using the PLC motion controller "PLMC-M3EX." One of the qualities required for a winding machine is the ability to perform accurate winding. Our motion controller, which is derived from NC technology, can control the composite speed of each axis without deviation, even when there are continuous minute linear interpolations. With this product, we can control each process and achieve winding with fine pitch. The use of Techno Code allows for easy programming of operation, and it has become easier to integrate with Yokogawa Electric's ladder logic, providing several advantages. 【Advantages】 ■ Achieves winding with fine pitch ■ Easy programming of operation using Techno Code ■ Easy integration with Yokogawa Electric's ladder logic ■ Controls all processes with a single unit *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

「モーションコントローラ」を直訳すると、「動きを制御するもの」 となります。具体的には、サーボ駆動による様々な産業装置を制御する コントローラのことです。位置決めコントローラとの違いはモーション 制御ができるかの違いです。 装置メーカ様は通常、お持ちのノウハウと知恵を活かしてより高い生産性を 追求し、それを備えた「売れるマシン」を作るため、日々時間を費やされて いると思います。 しかし、CPUやソフト技術は、時代の流れとともに著しく進歩していくもの。 装置メーカ様がすべてのソフトを自社開発されるのは、かなりの負担と なることでしょう。 ※記事の詳細内容は、関連リンクより閲覧いただけます。 　詳しくは、お気軽にお問い合わせください。

We would like to introduce a case where an injection molding machine can be controlled with a simple operating program. In the customer's old equipment, control was done using a PLC (ladder), but it was very difficult to change the ladder every time a setting change was needed due to the vast amount of ladder logic. Therefore, we proposed Fine Motion, which can accurately control torque, position, and speed, allowing for flexible and easy changes to the set values. Compared to PLC (ladder), it can now be controlled with fewer operating programs. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - The ability to accurately control torque, position, and speed - A simple operating program ■Solution - Techno's Fine Motion can issue commands every 125μsec at the fastest, allowing for precise and continuous control - The operating program of Fine Motion includes a macro variable function *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where a single device achieved multiple applications such as electrical discharge machining, cutting, and grinding. A certain equipment manufacturer aimed to develop a device that could be used for multiple applications to enhance its competitive edge over other companies. To achieve this, they developed the necessary functions for multiple applications within the motion controller, allowing the device to be used for various purposes simply by changing the head. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - To realize the control functions necessary for various applications such as electrical discharge machining (drilling, micro-drilling, die sinking), cutting (milling, drilling), and grinding. ■Solution - Developed the necessary functions for multiple applications within the motion controller (customization). *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a control case of the XYZAC (table rotation) type 5-axis machining machine. The customer requested the implementation of the TCP function on the motion controller side.
