Overall aim
The addition of a
PLC
controlled positioning unit to a general purpose manual
milling machine to allow automatic positioning and the replacement of existing relay
control panel.
Advantages
Sequence control and positioning control are possible without the need for a
specialized positioning system.
Method
of
control description
When the
X
and
Y
position data is set using a digital switch on the machines
operation panel and a pattern is specified, the cutting pattern is calculated and the
required positioning is perfomed. Since a three phase motor, and an AC variable
speed drive are used for positioning in this application, smooth deceleration is
achieved and stopping accuracy is obtained.
