Enter a few dimensions of your knife and set up epicyclic motion in seconds!

Flying Shear

Traverse axis tracks motion of material feed to make cuts "on the fly"

Capture and Compare (Registration)

Set up precise registration corrections with a sensor input, and automatically correct for inconsistencies and variations.

The example image to the left shows an upstream sensor that is detecting "eyemarks". This input to the drive is captured with 5µs accuracy and used for comparison with the future position of the knife. Corrections are made before every cut to ensure precise alignment (even if the marks are inconsistent).

24-bit Absolute Encoder

16,777,216 Pulses Per Rev (PPR)...
...That's 46,603 pulses for ONE degree!

• SureServo2 supports any input resolution you desire (you don't have to supply 16M pulses for control)
• Internally, all motion is scaled to this high-resolution so that your application always benefits from this extreme accuracy
• Use battery backup to turn the encoder into an absolute encoder
• No loss of position, even when power is disconnected to the drive
• Homing is not required on every power up sequence

Battery backup box enables absolute encoder functionality

Communications Options

• Host controller can initiate predefined moves in the drive
• Download dynamic/new motion profiles for future execution
• Exchange parameters and other data with a PLC, motion controller or HMI

Auto Tuning for the real world

The SureServo2 drive closes the loop on current, velocity, and position (depending on control mode selection). The 3.1 kHz bandwidth in the drive assures precise speed and current control and easy tuning. Proportional gain, integral gain and compensation, feed forward compensation, command low pass filter, and five (5) notch filters for resonance suppression are available. Auto Tuning has been greatly improved and can easily tune System with as much as 60:1 inertia mismatch. There is an inertia estimation function that analyzes the motor and load to measure how much inertia is coupled to the motor.

Multiple Tuning Modes

• One Touch Auto Tuning - the drive tunes the motor without any motion (static motor/system analysis)
• Normal Auto Tuning - the drive tunes the load while an external controller or the drive's internal indexer provides point-to-point moves
• Assisted Tuning - three modes where the drive tunes the motor while moving. The user can adjust responsiveness while the drive is analyzing the system.
• Manual Tuning - more than 20 parameters are available to give power users the ultimate flexibility to tune their systems.

Braking Options

• Dynamic braking can stop the motor when it is disabled, overloaded or when a fault occurs.
• Regen braking is used during normal operation and can take advantage of a regen resistor (either built-in or external) to maximize deceleration.
• The Magnetic brake (holding brake) is used to hold position while the servo system is stopped, disabled, or when power is disconnected.

5µs High-Speed Capture (inputs)

• Enables highly accurate registration operations
• Near instant move triggering
• Fast reaction to real world events
