Ethernet motion control technology speeds tube bending

25 January 2006 --- Ethernet Powerlink-compatible motion control technology from Baldor is catalysing a breakthrough in the performance of Unison's tube benders - allowing multi-stage bending operations to take place in parallel.  On the first version of the machine - configured for an automotive manufacturer - tubing components progress automatically through four separate stages. Each bend head is powered by a servo motor axis. In addition to productivity gains, Unison has reduced the size of the control cabinet dramatically. This benefit is a combined result of simpler wiring, and the ability of a single machine controller - Baldor's NextMove e100 - to manage and synchronise a large number of motion axes (15 in total) and I/O via the high-bandwidth network.
