Digital Motion Controller with Built-in 1/4 to 2 HP DC Drive
OVERVIEW
The ML-DRIVE is a cost effective integrated motion controller + DC drive. The built-in SCR drive can handle up to 2 HP Permanent Magnet DC motors and has a settable current limit of 0 to 10 Amps. The digital motion controller provides closed-loop speed regulation for applications that require precision speeds and ratios. The MLP-DRIVE has all the capabilities of the original ML-DRIVE, but with an Analog Input and zero cumulative error in follower mode.
FEATURES
-
No complicated programming required
- Speed controller with built-in DC drive for up to 2 HP motors
-
10 millisecond control loop for precise speed control
-
Optical isolation to protect against electrical noise
- Built-in LED display can be scaled to engineering units such as feet-per-minute
APPLICATIONS
|
Blending: Metering pumps, screw augers, feeder conveyors can be precisely ratio controlled for perfect recipes |
Conveyors: Process conveyors or transfer conveyors can be coordinated with precision. Product spacing can be adjusted. Inverse "time-in-oven" setpoints are available. |
 |
 |
| Web Drives: Film, paper, fabric processing with dancer control. Use simple on-off photo eye for loop control, or use dancer pot or sonic sensor. |
Extruders: Maintain constant volumetric die flow rates. Precisely control take-away conveyors, cooling conveyors, sizing rolls and other downstream motors in extruder processes. Many more applications in blown film lines and coextrusion processes as well. |
