Synchronization Of Drives
Synchronous Controllers (Electronic Shaft or Gearbox) for Synchronization of Speeds, Events, Positions, Print Marks.
General Information
All synchronization controllers shown on this site operate according to the Master- Slave principle. Where the Master can freely move with any motion profile under control of any remote speed reference, the synchronizer will control one or several Slaves to exactly follow the Master motion in terms of position and speed.
The control is based on incremental position feedback by means of encoders on both sides. Many applications just use a measuring wheel with encoder instead of a Master drive. It is possible to preset every speed or gear ratio by means of adjustable impulse scaling factors.
All units can accept marker pulses from the encoders and from remote proximity switches or photocells, to automatically produce the correct position with pitch or cycle related applications. motrona synchronous controllers can operate with any kind of speed variable drives (AC- inverter, DC, Servo or hydraulic type) that follow to a +/-10V speed reference signal. The extremely fast position control loop provides excellent performance even with highly dynamic applications
BY340* and BY641: Low-cost Synchronous Controllers for Synchronization of one Follower Axis
- New series of compact synchronous controllers, built into a standard DIN housing and designed for front panel mounting
- Since most affordable in price, these units are also suitable for use with small machines and limited budgets.
- Full angular and positional control with adjustable gear rations and maximum accuracy by 300 kHz of feedback frequency at a control loop cycle of only 250 µsec.
- Manual and automatic facilities to adjust the phase or relative position between Master and Slave
- Easily operated by means of the front keys or the front thumbwheel switches, or via PC and serial link.
