Motion-Controller MC700* with Firmware FS701* for
Flying Saws, Flying Shears, Machining “on the fly”

[PDF Manual]

• MC700 is a universal motion controller for 1 to 4 axis, programmable for multiple motion applications by simple download of the corresponding function firmware.

• With use of  firmwares FS701 or CT702 (see SUPPORT) this unit provides excellent solutions with all kinds of flying cut-to-length systems as well as with applications like labeling, printing, punching, sealing etc.

• Functions and properties are very similar to the FS340 controller described below.

• The range of functions includes extended possibilities with evaluation and blanking of print marks, floating print mark registers and more

• The MC700 hardware is a black-box unit for cabinet mounting.

  Remote control and communication facilities via external operator terminal, serial PC communication, CANBUS,  PROFIBUS etc. (see also Accessories)

FS340 * /FS641: Compact and Low Priced Motion Controller
for Machining “On The Fly” like Flying Shears, Saws, Punchers, Cutters etc.

[PDF Manual]

• New stand-alone precision controller for the specific motion profile of Flying Shears and Saws

• Also most suitable for smaller machines with limited budget, due to a very competitive price

• Self-optimizing polynomial speed profile to ensure extremely smooth motion and gentle tool treatment for best service life

• High accuracy and repeatability, even with high line speeds, due to a 300 kHz frequency range of the incremental encoder inputs

• Continuous closed-loop position control with only 250 µsec of cycle time, therefore outstanding dynamic features and high cutting precision even during changes of the line speed

• Suitable for operation with all electric or hydraulic 4-quadrant drives providing a +/- 10V  speed input

• Instantly ready for use, with easy setup and commissioning via Windows PC software (freeware), resulting in successful machine operation within shortest time

• The controller can be operated by means of control keys or thumbwheel switches on the front side, as well as by remote operation terminals or by serial link

• Direct PROFIBUS access is possible with use of gateway model PB251

  (see Accessories)

• Compact DIN housing for front panel mounting

• Optional assembly to DIN rails with use of the mounting supports SM300/ SM600(see Accessories)
