Cost-efficient Multi-axis Control

Sept. 1, 2009
Designed to provide superior performance while reducing the footprint and cost when compared to many network based multi-axis solutions, the MC4U is a fully integrated machine control solution that includes the motion controller, drives, power supplies and high speed PLC in 9-, 11- and 19-inch units. 
The MC4U can directly drive up to eight highly coordinated axes with network extension capability of 64 additional network nodes for a total of up to 72 axes. The integrated universal amplifiers can directly drive any stepper, DC brushless, DC brush, or AC induction motor from 100W to 5kW with standard digital quadrature or Analog Sin/Cos encoder. The MC4U’s integrated architecture uses dedicated servo processors on the controller board to provide real-time servo control of each axis.
