Control Highlights:
Control
System
Allen Bradley
Control Logix looks like a programmable controller but is much more as
it
includes a state of the art control platform that integrates multiple
control
disciplines: sequential, motion, drive, and process control. This
controller is much faster than a PLC 5
processor. The dual axis servo control
modules close the position and velocity loops 5000 times/second for
enhanced
position control.
Sensors
LMI
Dynavision B8 sensor heads use 3 inch
Laser
Spacing with Visible red lasers.
(Available in 2
foot increments) top only or top and bottom
scanning available.
8
Lasers in each 2 foot increment with 2 cameras per
2 foot increment provide binocular style measurements.
