#DWwebinar

-Lower initial investment -High throughput -Great for single part no variation

-Unable to accommodate process change -Expensive or impossible to convert

Fixed Automation •  Often called ‘Hard

Automation’ •  Fixed sequence of

operations •  Often basic linear or rotary

motion •  Fluid power


#DWwebinar

Programmable Automation

•  Accommodate program changes

•  Manual change-over -Moderate flexibility (product changes) -Infrequent batch style production

-Downtime with changeover -Higher initial investment


#DWwebinar

Flexible Automation •  Often called ‘Soft Automation’ •  Typically Electromechanical

Motion •  Extension of Programmable

Automation -Minimal downtime -Multiple products/processes -Better overall cost of ownership

-Higher up front cost

Challenges of Flexible Automation

#DWwebinar

What is Configurable & Scalable Automation?

Actuation designed for flexible equipment that can solve a broader range of application demands must be scalable!

Scale must account for application variances such as-

Stroke Length

Payload & Moment Load

Thrust

Speed

Precision

Scalable Precision

•  Configurable Encoder Options •  Magnetic •  Optical

•  Resolutions of •  1.0 micron •  0.1 micron •  0.01 micron


#DWwebinar

What is Configurable & Scalable Automation? Other Types of

Configurable Options

•  Configurable Profiles •  Supported •  Non-supported

•  Motor Orientation •  Inline/Parallel (Screw) •  Side/Top/Bottom (Belt)

•  Motor Type •  Servo •  Stepper •  Variety of Mfg


#DWwebinar

Application story • Form, fill and seal packaging

machine • Moving sealing head over

package Application

• Package sizes change frequently • Requires change of motion

profile • Multiple machines w/ varying

requirements

Challenge

How does this help machine builders?

#DWwebinar

• OSP-E Electromechanical belt drive • Square rail guide • Special coating for harsh

environments • Provides positioning capability • Scalability to handle varying loading and

application parameters • Simple HMI interface and recipe control

allow for quick and easy product conversion.

Solution


#DWwebinar

•  Custom machine builder making automotive components

#DWwebinar

•  HMR Screw driven actuator •  Dynamic positioning

capability •  Scalability to handle

varying loading and application parameters

•  Pairs easily with a variety of motor manufacturers

Solution


#DWwebinar

Application story

•  Additive manufacturing through metal deposition

•  3 axis of motion to position deposition head

Application

•  Long stroke, high speed, high stiffness, dynamic positioning

•  XY and Z all have differing performance demands

Challenge
