Hello, for a laser marking application i have to detect the amount of name plates putted in a magazin. To do so i will let the vertical axis slowely goes down and when it hits the plate on the top he should stop and record this actual position as the actual level of the magazin. Given the thikness of the plates is known we can easily know how much plates we have there. Do you have an idea how to implement this using the fhpp of festo ? Thanks in advance
Hi Abderahim, it's been a few years since I worked at Festo and I've lost touch with many of their control features. I suggest you contact their product support team with your questions: www.festo.com/cms/en-us_us/3170.htm. I wish you the best of luck with your project.
Greetings. I have purchased the CMMO-ST together with the EPCO-40-100-12.7P-ST-EB-KF and I would like to configure it similar to your project Could you share the parameters of your table that you used to configure the CMMO-ST ? Or can you indicate me where i can get more information about it, mainly examples? My mail is: evisa1988@gmail.com THANKS.
Hello!! Would you tell me how, and what orders are to give the controller "Cmmo-st-C5-1-diop " To position and make it work and control it from I/O? THANKS!! my mail: marco_de_las_heras@hotmail.es
I'm not an expert on open source (arduino, raspberry pi) solutions. All my experience is with proprietary solutions. With that said, if you're interested in an overview of encoder functions for step motors you can check out a webinar I did in March, 2017. You'll have to register to watch it: www.applied-motion.com/news/2017/02/live-webinar-step-motors-and-encoders
BecarefullL, I can't remember the price of that exact motor (it was a couple of years ago), but one just like it with an integrated drive and controller costs $412 for a quantity of one. Part number TSM17Q-1AG... www.applied-motion.com/products/stepservo-integrated-motors/tsm17q-1ag
I have the Nema 23 version that I want to replace as my head stock motor on my sherline lathe. Does anyone know If you can read the pulses from the driver encoder so I can do threading?
ipadize Thanks for pointing that out. That was a typo. The motor is definitely a NEMA 17 frame size. However, the same performance can be had with any NEMA size so long as there is an encoder mounted on the motor to provide feedback to the controller.
