FANUC Power Motion i on Gudel Gantry

FANUC Power Motion i-MODEL A controls a Güdel gantry with two 3-axis ZP3 modules on a single rail. This configuration can be used for various types of material handling applications such as palletizing and machine tending. Each path on the system has horizontal and vertical axes and a wrist for payload rotation of 360 degrees.

FANUC Power Motion i-MODEL A for Motion Control - Features and Benefits

Complete integrated solution

The Power Motion i-MODEL A is a complete application solution supporting high-performance motion control, a highly customizable 10.4” display, a high-speed PMC/PLC ladder, and Ethernet connectivity.

State-of-the-art hardware

The high-reliability hardware provides stable operation in the harshest environments and delivers superior performance of the control, servos, and PMC. A wide range of diagnostic functions ensures that the control system and machine problems can be identified and fixed quickly. Modularized components make it easy and quick to replace maintenance parts.

Flexible displays

The LCD-mounted system delivers the most compact solution with minimum wiring. The standalone system allows a single display to be interfaced with up to 8 standalone Power Motion i controls via Ethernet. The Ethernet Display Function can also be used to display screens on a PC. The iPendent provides a flexible screen and control panel that allows programming and operation at remote locations around the machine.

FANUC PICTURE

Easy development of functional and attractive custom screens supporting touch screen and keyboard interfaces. Advanced solutions can be developed by combining FANUC PICTURE visual elements with C language executor code.

High-performance motion control

Cycle times are minimized with a quick axis start and stop, a high-speed PLC ladder execution and high-speed response to external signals.

High-response motion control

The accuracy and speed of machines used in packaging, wrapping, marking, stamping and cutting often depend on a fast response to an external signal. The high-speed ladder execution ensures a fast response to external signals and minimizes cycle times.

Torque control

Torque control maintains a constant tension for applications such as winding. The feed and the winding axes can be controlled independently so that the tension is kept constant at all times.

Extensive support of field networks

Power Motion i supports all of the leading field network standards including Ethernet/IP, PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, FL-net and CC-Link to construct sophisticated and distributed control systems. The robot interface via Ethernet simplifies material handling integration.
