This application also makes use of the motion controller's high speed position latch capability to accurately detect the registration marks on the material.

Special Features Used

  • Auxiliary encoder for product synchronisation
  • Built in software flying shear (flying knife) for position synchronization
  • High speed position latch to accurately measure product position
