"Keep It Going with Better Motion Control Tools"

Thursday, October 16, 2014 from 10:30 am to 11:00 am

Introduction: Good and efficient maintenance is a basic need for high volume manufacturing operations. For the maintenance person, finding the cause of a malfunction and doing a quick repair is the top priority. Utilizing better control system tools can quickly solve problems and get production running after a problem has occurred. The maintenance technician typically needs to determine whether the problem is in the sensor, controller, actuator, a wiring issue or hydraulic system components. In order to quickly resolve the problem, the technician needs good vendor tools and be well versed in both hydraulics and control basics. Today’s motion control manufacturers strive to provide diagnostic tools for setting up, optimizing, monitoring, and debugging a control system. Visual tools, like Delta’s RMCTools Plot Manager Feature, do this with high resolution capture and trend graphs of motion that help troubleshoot sawmill machinery. This tool gives maintenance technicians the ability to quickly and easily determine potential and actual problems. Additionally, event logs and open loop motion commands are valuable time savers along with advanced loop tuning technique.

"This international Forest Product venue gives OEMs, end users and distributors the opportunity to learn about the latest in industrial motion control and new products for the wood industry" stated Delta CEO, Steve Nylund. "Delta’s presentation will delve into motion technology and demonstrate how it can help solve problems in fluid power motion applications," Nylund added.

The high performance motion control products that Delta designs, manufactures and markets are used worldwide for hydraulic, pneumatic and electric closed-loop control in a wide array of single and multi-axis applications, including testing, food, energy, automotive, entertainment, plastics, materials, aerospace, metals, forest products and others.
