Electric CAM Controller





 
<Products Outline>
 Electric cam controller can synchronize main axis, which is standard axis for movement, with secondary axis and replace from ordinal mechanical cam into electric cam.

<Improved points from past model>
Reverse and forward cam operation are available.
Cam continuous change operation is available.
2 channels of encoder counter are built in.
Event output function is built in.
Event output is the function to output signal by hardware in the specified range against output pulse of ECM-100.

Here is the article which explains advanced points from previous model.

→Example usage of electric cam controller.
→Here is introductory video of communication software of electric cam.

Items Description
Control system
Microprocessor control system.
This unit carries the high-performance pulse generator, MPG2032 made by MYCOM.
The exclusive electronic CAM control system made by MYCOM is used.
Number of axes controlled
One axis  (Up to 16 axes can be controlled using the daisy chain connection)
The pulse output systems used are the photocoupler output and the RS-422 output. Multiple number of units can be connected.
Motors used
Stepping motor or pulse train input servo motor
Data store
Cam shape, Program and System parameter are stored. (Flash memory is used.  It can be re-written 100,000 times.)
Cam shape
32 patterns can be memorized.
The CAM shapes are generated by PC and downloaded.
One CAM shape is composed of maximum 510 plotting points.
Program
32 programs, 256 steps are stored.
It is possible to store the emergency sequence program which is executed when an emergency occurs.
Moving command (Electric Cam, Index, Scan, Home search, Complex trapezoidal drive)
