Delta Computer Systems, Inc. offers an enhanced position tracking command for special applications where precise position control of linear or rotary motion control is required.
According to the company, this command is useful for smoothly tracking a signal containing noise or step-jumps, or for gearing to another position while not exceeding specified motion limits. Among the various applications that can benefit from this command are stretch presses, sawmill edgers, flying shears or flying cutoffs, extrusion applications and entertainment, including 6DOF applications.
The tracking command continuously tracks a specified signal. "Limits for velocity, acceleration, positive and negative travel limits are key parts of the command set-up and each can have great value in highly dynamic systems," said a company spokesperson. "A deadband option rejects minor noise on the signal, resulting in steady motion." For less complex, more linear gearing relationships and for following a reference input, Delta already offers a Gear Absolute command.
"Delta customers want precision no matter if the master register parameter is a joystick function or comes from a complex motion or curve profile," said Steve Nylund, Delta's CEO. "This specialized feature can deliver precision in dynamic, high performance multi-axis applications."
The high performance motion control products that Delta designs, manufactures and markets are used for hydraulic, pneumatic and electric closed-loop control in an array of single and multi-axis applications, including testing, food, energy, automotive, entertainment, plastics, materials, aerospace, metals, forest products and others.
