Drive and servo setup

We commission servo axes and frequency inverters: parameters, speeds, positions and the connection to the PLC, so every motor moves exactly as the machine needs.

What we set up

Each drive is set up for its job on your machine.

  • ParametersMotor data, speeds, acceleration and limits set for the load.
  • PositionsReference and working positions for every axis, adjustable from the touch panel.
  • TuningServo axes tuned so they move fast without overshoot or vibration.
  • Conveyor speedInverter-driven conveyors with speed and direction set from the panel.
  • Safety functionsDrive safety such as safe torque off connected to the safety circuit.

Diagnostics built in

When a drive stops, the operator knows why.

  1. Status on screenEach axis shows its current position and speed on the service screen.
  2. Clear axis alarmsAn overloaded or blocked motor is reported with the axis it happened on.
  3. Recovery stepsThe message tells the operator how to reset the drive and restart.
  4. Manual jogAxes can be moved by hand from the panel to free a stuck part.

In our machines

Drive setup is part of every machine we deliver.

  • PM-PLT palletizerFour axes driven by Mitsubishi servo motors.
  • Servo manipulatorsLinear X, Y and Z axes and a rotary C axis, set up for each product.
  • Packaging lineServo control on every conveyor for accurate position and speed.
  • Infeed conveyorsInverter-driven belts that stop at the sensor and back off to space the products.
