Delta’s Drive System Brings Precision High Power Motion Control to the Next Level
Automation and digitization has become an inevitable trend for manufacturers, and high power equipment is no exception. In manufacturing, precise motion control when processing large and heavy goods tends to be more difficult than when dealing with smaller products. Examples span from building material processing, such as servo presses, punching machines, and flying saw machines, to the healthcare industry, such as centrifuges, and CT scan machines. Even large-scale lift machines for concerts and theaters are no exception.
Aiming to overcome the limits of motion control for high power applications, Delta has developed the Motion Control Drive System, a high power drive system dedicated to excellent motion control. Integrating a complete suite for motion control, including Delta Heavy Duty Vector Control Drive CH2000 Series, High Power Servo Motor MSJ Series, EtherCAT module and motion control card, this solution highlights Delta’s competence in system integration.
The Motion Control Drive System focuses on 15-80 kW to deliver an output torque ranging from 48N to 520N at 1500 RPM/17 bit. For applications with fixed length and distance, such as punching machines, flying saw machines, conveyors, winding machines, and injection molding machines, the system not only delivers outstanding performance in motion control, but also ensures system stability with complete integration.
Delta Motion Control Drive Solution provides the following benefits:
- • Excellent motion control enabled by advanced algorithms
Delta’s motor control algorithms play a key role in precise positioning of the system, which supports various modes including CSP, CST, and HM modes. Combined with high resolution encoders, the torque ripple can be limited within ±1.6% even at low frequency. In addition, the automatic gain tuning smooths the process of motion control.
Its advantages are well illustrated with the example of centrifuges in the healthcare industry. The drive system for centrifuges must be able to bear heavy loads while still maintaining high precision with rigorous limits of torque ripple—if the pulsation exceeds the standard, all efforts are wasted. Delta’s Motion Control Drive System is able to provide the precision at one pulse, which explains why the system is an ideal choice for CT Scan Machines, large analyzers, and rotary grinding machines.
- • User friendliness and intuitive interface
The system can identify applied motor models to acquire relevant parameters and optimal control strategies, allowing optimization of the motor even without any effort from personnel. The system is also equipped with dedicated assisting software for system tuning, diagnosis and monitoring. With an intuitive interface, the software enables quick equipment tuning and testing.
- • Industry-specific function modules for quick configuration
The system provides function modules dedicated to common application scenarios, including servo press and steel plate processing, for positioning and controlling length and distance. Modularization not only shortens the time for equipment development, but also helps to enhance system stability and usability.
- • High compatibility for a fully integrated solution
The system provides high compatibility and can be integrated with the Delta PC-based Motion Controller AX Series, PLC-Based Multi-axis Motion Controller DVP-MC Series, HMIs and the integrated engineering software DIAStudio to build a complete solution with high system stability.
Delta’s Motion Control Drive System offers high-speed and multi-axis motion control for high power application. The industry-specific function modules and quick parameter configuration effectively shortens the time for equipment development. The system is suitable for a variety of industries, including metal forming, material handling, pulp and paper, printing, packaging and entertainment.
