System of transport XTS of Beckhoff: reinventando the technician of accionamiento
18 June 2012
XTS Is a system mecatrónico that contains all the necessary functions for the operation:
- A linear engine modulate entirely integrated cheese cheese with electronics equipment dealers equipment dealers of power and register of route in a same device
- One or several ‘Movers' to way of mobile pieces
- A lane guides mechanical
- An industrial PC with the software of control TwinCAT
The number and the selection of the components form the geometries, lengths and radii wished. It can prescindir of a cableado complex and of chains portacables. Besides, the system of measurement of position already comes integrated cheese cheese. The volume of the machine takes advantage of to the maximum, since they can use so much the distances of gone and of turn like the curves to transport material of active form. Of this form no only saves in hardware, but also in surface of costly production. With the XTS can reach speeds of until 4 m/s with the greater precision of positioning.
The new principle of linear engine
The possibilities of application of the XTS practically do not have limits: the ‘Movers' —modules of mobile transport, wireless— can accelerate, brake, position and synchronise. They can adopt absolute and relative positions between himself; can group and store; they can generate strengths of subjection while they move ; displace by curves as if they went straight; recover power by means of braked by recovery and take advantage of the distances of turn and of gone for the transport.
With this new principle of linear engine arise possibilities entirely new in the technician of accionamiento:
- Properties of the linear engine in a distance endless
- boundless Number of ‘Movers' in a common distance
- Structures to modulate, can adapt easily to the application
- Requires little space and little power
- simple Execution of tasks of complex transport
- Easy to schedule and mount
Plug and play: The components of system of the XTS
The system XTS can configure of simple form and modulate: the modules of engine form a unit with the ‘Movers' and the lanes guides. They contain the electromagnetic coils and all the other necessary active functionalities for the operation of the system. Only they need a supply of current and a connection EtherCAT. The modules of engine do not contain mobile pieces and do not suffer wear any.
The ‘Move' contains magnetic plates that they can generate strengths of push together with the coils of the module of engine. This device movedor absorbs the strengths of attraction of the magnets of both sides and compensates them in his greater part. Of this form, the rollers of the ‘Move', that are instrumented with a plastic surface especially resistant to the wear, can film in the lane guides to big speed. A robust flag emisora mechanics communicates the position of the ‘Move' to the module of engine.
Flow of material in the technician of packed and of setting
The system XTS is versatile and can employ in the most diverse sectors. It is predestinado for the transport of materials to high speed:
- Push the product, adjust the distance of the product, diminish or increase the speed of the product
- Attach and move the product
- Transport and extract the product
- Manipulate the product: raise, close, turn, atornillar the closing
An irregular flow of products is separate and delivered to the next station of processing with a distance and constant speed. The products collect and transport of a station of processing to the following. The distances between the stations visit to a big speed if the distance is free. Of the contrary, the products move to the place of destination in an intermediate warehouse mobile. The products can be processed by groups of parallel form in stations of slow processing. The fast stations only process a product by time. Always it can use the distance of turn of active form.
