New motion-control portfolio delivers flexibility and more
The PACMotion servo motion-control portfolio (photo) offers an integrated automation solution for high-performance industrial applications. The portfolio includes a new motion controller that connects directly into the PACSystems RX3i programmable logic-controller backplane for high-speed, high-precision performance with synchronized motion for up to 40 coordinated axes, enabling end users to scale up their motion systems without sacrificing performance. The complete PACMotion portfolio includes a motion controller, servo motors, servo drives and motion-configuration software for applications in packaging, printing, material handling, semiconductors, food and beverage, and general manufacturing. The patented technology enables precise, jerk-free positioning, preventing material slippage and production losses and improving machine efficiency. — Emerson, St. Louis, Mo.
