Delta Group produces a line of automation products that are used in advanced machine automation, spindle control and robotic cells to produce smart manufacturing system solutions for the machine tool, metalforming, automated assembly, material handling, oil & gas, and elevator and crane industries.
Delta Group's automation products include:
MH300/MS300 Series Compact Drives
Delta's newest MH300/MS300 series high-performance standard compact AC Motor Drives for Micro Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) are designed for applications up to 30 HP, serving as a compliment to the C2000 series General Purpose vector control drives.
An example of automation utilizing the MH300/MS300 series is controlling four of the spindles on the market - up to 2,000 Hz. This enabling technology solution includes E-Stop and a fast deceleration feature with reduced regeneration energy. This example is sequenced by one of the MH300/MS300 built-in PLC's to highlight its stand-alone control and local I/O capability and is easily connected with Ethernet Modbus and EtherNet/IP.
Advanced Machine Automation
Another example highlights the ability to completely control a machine over EtherCAT and Information connectivity over EtherNet/IP. A scaled down lean-control system can execute G-Code to do simple shape cutting applications completely with core smart functions.
"The Advanced Machine Automation example also shows how Delta Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is ready through drop-in cloud connectivity devices on 3 G wireless; secure VPN tunneling and log-on data encryption; HMI's with dual Ethernet ports to segregate control and remote data access networks; PLCs with local data acquisition and powerful information computation; fieldbus data link and conversion; and time stamping," said a company spokesperson.
Robotic Cell
Delta's 4-axis control with integrated servo drives on a 400 mm SCARA robot, DRS40L series, in a simulated dispensing application is another example of integrated automation. Additionally, it controls one networked external actuator. The robot "dispensing" head dynamically tracks the LU series actuator by dispensing a constant vector path pattern while in motion. The move profiles can be configured and taught through a hand-held pendent complete with E-stop and three-position safety switches. This complete cell can be remotely monitored at an Industrial Ethernet display panel via a 3 G cloud-connected router.
"Delta is constantly developing new product technology to create architecture level solutions for industrial machinery," said Bill Faber, Director of Delta Products Corporation's Industrial Automation Business Group. "Our IIoT-ready offerings are designed to help manufactures at all stages of the smart manufacturing journey propel themselves and their companies into a new era of connectivity and efficiency."
