TM Robotics Cartesian Slave Controllers

TM Robotics Cartesian Slave Controllers

TM Robotics offers a range of high-performance slave controllers designed to work seamlessly with their master controllers, providing precise control and flexibility for multi-axis Cartesian systems. These slave controllers are essential for expanding the capabilities of your Cartesian robot setup, allowing for efficient and scalable automation solutions.

Product Overview

The slave controllers are auxiliary units that complement the master controllers in multi-axis systems. They are designed to handle additional axes, enabling complex and high-load operations.

Controller Features

• Models: CA25-S10, CA25-S40, CA25-S80
• Power Settings: User-selectable input power setting (100~115VAC or 200~230VAC) for global integration capabilities. Note that the CA25-S40 and CA25-S80 use 200~230VAC power only.
• Driver Inclusion: Each slave unit includes a driver for a single axis, simplifying the integration process.
• Inputs/Outputs: Each slave unit provides an additional 8 user inputs and 8 user outputs, accessible via the master unit. The I/O type (PNP vs NPN) is selectable at the time of order placement.

Enhanced Functions

• Servo Control Engine: High-performance servo control engine in the master controller enables handling of complex trajectories and 3D interpolation.
• High-Load Capability: Special line-up of controllers for motor capacities greater than 750 W reduces the cost of high-load systems.
• Scalability: A master unit with a built-in driver for one axis can be connected to additional slave controllers, handling up to a maximum of four control axes. This eliminates the need for a high-function master unit for 3- and 4-axis combinations, reducing costs and space requirements.
• Increased Processing Speed: Enhanced processing speed for further reducing cycle times.
• External Point Designation Mode: Enhanced mode allows for external output of the point table number after positioning, making integration easier. This mode performs positioning operations via input signals from a PLC or other device without the need for programming.

Applications

The TM Robotics Cartesian slave controllers are suitable for a variety of industrial applications, including:

• Automated Assembly: Enhances precision and efficiency in assembly lines.
• Material Handling: Optimises the movement and placement of materials in manufacturing processes.
• Packaging: Improves the speed and accuracy of packaging operations.
• Inspection Systems: Facilitates the integration of complex inspection systems requiring multi-axis control.
