Xactools specialises in automated special solutions in infeed technology, palletising and measurement technology. With the universal servo amplifier PMCtendo DD5 from Pilz and a Profinet connection the company can control all the motors quickly, precisely and easily.
Xactools developed a round table test cell for an automotive supplier with 16 test stations and 21 driven vertical and linear axes. Previously, servo drives from various manufacturers were used in comparable plants.
When converting to the Industrial Ethernet Standard Profinet with TCP/IP Xactools opted for PMCtendo DD5 from Pilz. Thanks to the new servo amplifiers it is possible to drive servo, asynchronous and linear motors, rotary direct drives and servo linear actuators from almost any manufacturer. The internal programming option in the servo controller enables PMCtendo DD5 to approach target positions particularly quickly. The required positions can be entered directly in SI units (mm, m, etc.). PMCtendo DD5 from Pilz increases the productivity of a plant and reduces the customer's downtimes and inventory and operating costs.
“For us the servo amplifier PMCtendo DD5 from Pilz is virtually the only way to go: We only have to deal with one type of controller, setting up and commissioning clearly require less time and money. Our customers profit from economical, reliable and user-friendly plants.”
