“Once again the ORMEC team demonstrated our ability to cost-effectively retrofit an aging control system with our latest hardware and software technology. Strong application knowledge, engineering and project management expertise made this project a major success”, says Ed Krasnicki, President and CEO of ORMEC.

The on-time installation of the system included SMLC controllers, servo motors and drives, an operator interface with remote pendant stations and a SCADA system interface.

Vision Guided Motion

Systems for Vision Guided Motion combine machine vision and precision motion control.

Learn how ORMEC is applying motion control for Path Following with Part Tracking and Free Form Edge Tracking.

Benefits include:

• Increased production rates with increased conveyor and feed rates
• Increased quality with reduced rejects when human error is eliminated
• Reduced costs when manual steps are removed

Please contact us with your questions and ideas for additional applications.

Shielding, Grounding & Design techniques

Motion control servo systems contain digital and micro-processor circuitry that can be affected by Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). They also contain high energy switching amplifiers which can generate significant EMI at various frequencies.

Learn about techniques and recommendations for:

• Motor and encoder/resolver cable installation
• DC power, DC I/O, AC I/O wiring
• Communications cables
• General placement, mounting, and routing practices
• Cabinet to machine grounding
