MCA 121 EtherNet/IP Option Card

Danfoss Drives

The MCA 121 is a powerful networking tool that enables Danfoss VLT AutomationDrive users to deploy standard Ethernet technology in manufacturing applications, while also enabling internet and enterprise activity.

The MCA 121 option card delivers connectivity to EtherNet/IP based networks via the Common Industry Protocol (CIP) protocol from ODVA. It can handle one EIP Class 1 connection with an Actual Packet Interval (API) of just 1 ms in both directions, positioning it as one of the highest performing EIP devices in the market. Users will also benefit from a built-in 2 port switch with diagnostic functions that enables traditional line network topology, while eliminating the need for complex cabling and expensive industrial Ethernet switches. Industrial operations are increasingly utilizing open Ethernet networks to manage their processes. The MCA 121 enables the Danfoss Drives VLT AutomationDrive to connect directly to an EtherNet/IP network, maximizing speed and performance beyond what is possible using a gateway. With the MCA 121 each drive simply acts as another node on the network, with full visibility and full speed connectivity. Traditional line network topology can significantly simplify cabling requirements and reduce hardware costs– The MCA 121 enables users to eliminate a number of Ethernet switches, at an approximate cost of $200 per switch. The MCA 121 EtherNet/IP Option Card also features a built-in web server and email client to deliver service notification.

Motion Controllers

Q170MCPU stand-alone motion controller

Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc.

The new Q170MCPU from

新Q170MCPU有lone motion controller has a built-in high-speed PLC (Processing speed LD command: 0.04μ‚ MOV command: 0.08 μ‚) and Motion CPU (1 to 16 axes of motion control with up to 0.44 ms for the operation cycle time), a 24 V dc power supply, and embedded ports for Ethernet, USB, and serial communication. In addition, the Q170MCPU has a built-in serial encoder interface module, an external encoder interface module, and high-speed registration inputs. The unit supports up to 512 digital I/O, along with analog I/O and network connectivity to systems for CC-Link, DeviceNet, and Profibus communication. Lowest total cost of ownership is achieved through the unit’s compact design, side-by- side mounting of MR-J3B servo drives (50W to 55kW), and the ability to operate rotary motors, linear motors, and fully closed loop systems, company says.

A quick-release servo connection style reduces wiring, panel space, and setup time. All parameters are instantly downloaded to the servo amplifier at power up, and servo axis tuning is quick and easy. Today’s end users require not only a powerful CPU to boost functionality and performance, but also a higher throughput for entire systems. The MR-MQ100 fits this need. It can be used for basic to advanced motion control functions, including high-speed external encoder mark registration and electronic CAM profiling for many industrial applications. The Q170MCPU takes motion control to a higher performance standard through the accuracy of the 50Mbps optical SSCNET III synchronous communication motion network.

It shares a common programming language with the Mitsubishi Q Series and iQ Series platforms, as well as future products, ensuring quick set-up modes, easy programming, and reduced start-up times.

LaserTurn 1

Aerotech Inc.

The AerotechLaserTurn 1 is an integrated linear-rotary motion subsystem that combines automated material handling with high performance direct-drive linear and rotary motion.

The LaserTurn 1 is a complete cylindrical laser processing system. It includes an automated, pneumatically actuated Type D collet closer. The collet closer has a clear aperture for product feed-through and can support tubing diameters from 0.1 mm to 7.9 mm in dry cutting applications, and up to 3 mm when configured for wet cutting operation. The collet closer is designed to minimize axial tube motion during clamping operations by keeping the collet stationary and moving the tapered mating surface during collet open/close operation. The LaserTurn 1 includes standard front and rear tooling platforms with M4 mounting features. The tooling platforms are bolted directly to the base of the linear stage providing a stiff, monolithic, common inertial frame of reference. Fixtures such as bushing alignment assemblies, part collection, or automated material advance functions can be attached easily. The LaserTurn 1 uses direct-drive noncontact motor and encoder technology for both the linear and rotary axes. Direct-drive motors exhibit significantly higher throughput and maintenance-free operation when compared to gear and screw-driven technologies. Linear and rotary encoders coupled directly to the load provide the highest level of system accuracy and repeatability over the operating lifetime of the stage.

8KS series motor

B&R Industrial Automation Corp.

B&R液冷的三相同步电动机(8KS series) feature high power density with compact outer dimensions.

B&R液冷的三相同步电动机feature high power density with compact outer dimensions. This opens up new perspectives for the design of machines and systems. This extra level of freedom enables machine manufacturers to create efficient and economical solutions. Integrated water cooling enables more compact sizes and prevents the machine or the switching cabinet from overheating. Doing away with energy consuming and noisy fans saves space, reduces emissions and lowers costs. The life-span increases significantly because the motor parts except for bearings are free of wear. Intelligent connection technology for power and encoder connections using circular connectors or terminal boxes simplifies installation considerably. 8KS series motors are available in four sizes with a rated speed of 1,100 1/min to 2,200 1/min and a maximum speed of 4,500 to 10,000 1/min. The rated torque is between 8.3 Nm and 605 Nm. The motors can be controlled with Acopos or Acoposmulti servo drives.
