in combination with Motion Controller MC700

The CT701 firmware is used for control and regulation purposes for eccentric work processes, such as are required for eccentric shears in cross-sectional systems, rotating guillotine shears and other rotary machine applications. Together with the appropriate hardware, the MC700, the software is able to generate an optimal speed profile for a rotary guillotine cross-cutter for a suitable servo drive and thus to control the drive in a highly dynamic and precisely way.

Technical data

• 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 our CT701 firmware (see Support) this unit provides excellent solutions with all kinds of guillotine cutters and rotary eccentric shears needing a cosine-compensated speed profile during the penetration of the tool
• Extremely smooth motion  to protect  mechanical solution, by self-optimizing polynomial speed transitions
• High cutting accuracy, even during line acceleration and at high speeds
• Programmable cosine-compensated speed profile
• Special torque control features to master the impact load when cutting hard materials like stainless steel etc.
• Special profile features to avoid deadlock between tool and material
• Embedded virtual master axis (selectable)
• Black-box unit for cabinet mounting
• Remote control and communication facilities via external operator terminal, serial PC communication, PROFIBUS or optional via CANBUS (MC700/CI) etc (see Accessories)
