Omron Trajexia TJ1

Control up to 16 axes with advanced motion coordination over a robust and fast Mechantrolink-II or EtherCAT link (available soon). Supports position, speed and torque control, each axis can run complex interpolation moves, e-cams and e-gearboxes. Advanced debugging tools include trade and oscilloscope functions. Multi-tasking controller capable of running up to 14 tasks simultaneously. Open communication: Ethernet built in; Profibus-DP and DeviceNet as options. Motion control cards for Omron PLC's are also available which offer many of the functions of the Trajexia where a stand-alone motion controller is not optimal.

Baldor Motion Controllers and Mint Drives

Baldor produces an extensive series of stand-alone motion controllers and servo drives with programmable motion control capability supporting up to 12 axes of control. These motion controllers are configured with Mint, a basic-like multitasking motion language. The NextMove family of stand-alone motion controllers is available in PCI format or panel mount; the MintDrive-II integrates Mint capability into a single axis servo drive. Networking and communications capabilities include Ethernet Powerlink and I/O can be supported through the onboard CAN bus interface. Other open and proprietary industrial networks are also supported. Third party SCADA software such as Labview and Visual Basic can easily share data with Mint-capable controllers via Active X components.

Baldor Servo Drives

Baldor single axis Microflex, Flex Drive-II, and Flex+ Drive-II servo drives along with the Ethernet Powerlink-enabled Microflex e100 and MotiFlex e100 make up the bulk of Baldors current offering of advanced AC servo drives. Communications features/options include DeviceNet, Profibus-DP and CANopen as well as RS-232/485. A range of DC servo drives and adjustable speed drives are also offered.

Baldor Servo Motors

Baldor offers a wide selection of high performance AC brushless servo motors, DC servo motors and stainless steel servo motors. Four models of the BSM series of brushless AC servo motors include the low inertia BSM-N series, higher inertia BSM-C Series, stainless steel SSBSM series, and compact package BSM-R Series. BSM25 and BSM33 DC brushless motors, DC servo motors, integrated stepper motor/driver, and servo-rated gearheads are also offered.

Baldor Linear Motors, Gantry, Stages

Baldor provides industry with the widest range of linear motors, linear stages and controls. Linear motors provide direct-coupled motion and eliminate mechanical transmission devices, offering substantial improvements over ball screws, timing belts, etc. The rugged mechanical design provides accurate motion and precision positioning for hundreds of millions of cycles.

Linear motors consist of two parts – a stationary track or "platen" and a moving "forcer". They can be provided as a stand-alone linear motor assembly or as a complete stage – built with a housing or enclosure with linear bearings, limit switches, cable track/carrier, protective bellows and linear encoder in a wide variety of lengths
