Controller Simplifies Multi-Axis Motion Setup
Parker Hannifin has launched the Compax3F electrohydraulic controller, designed to help engineers increase productivity and machine performance. The control features optimised force/pressure control, controller pre-setting for closed-loop position control, an updated valve library with the latest Parker valves, and a multi-axis tool supported by a comprehensive database of multi-axis applications. Compax3F is particularly suitable for applications such as die casting, metal forming, blow moulding and tube bending. Up to 31 motion profiles can be selected including absolute/relative position, force/pressure control, positioning or electronic gearing, with the controller providing synchronous running for up to two hydraulic axes, including replacement for NC 100 axis in new projects. With absolute/relative positioning, for example, a motion set defines a complete group of motions by target position, travel speed, maximum acceleration, maximum deceleration and maximum jerk. In the case o...
