Enables true synchronization between 2 Elmo’s Gold drives
Used In:
- Any Gantry system
- Any X/Y planar system
Description
Elmo’s unique solution for true gantry application synchronization is a network based Master Slave MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) configuration. It is working as a stand-alone or as part of a distributed network-based motion control solution.
This MIMO control solution is based on a MIMO control structure, and is a general solution for standard Gantry systems and Planar X/Y systems.
It insures fast and precise machine operation, offers 1-D and 2-D dynamic error corrections and simplicity in implementation.
Elmo’s solutions for Gantry Stage:
Flexible Gantry System to demonstrate the advanced MIMO control
Before active angular θ Correction
After active angular θ correction
Design Features
- Real time gantry axes synchronization
- Network-based Master Slave MIMO configuration
- Two servo control loops in Gantry systems:
– Linear “Center” X location
– Angular “Rotary” θ positioning - Reduce cost, no need for upper controller
