Metal-Forming machines using CtrlX-Core and SoftMotion

[GustavoTaffarello]

Hello dear folks,

I would like just to check if any of you has used the CtrlX-Core for Flying-Shear applications and roll-formers (using torque control).

We have a customer that has been using our XM22 for his machines, but now, he wants a better performance but somthing cheaper than XM42.

Is it possible to connect the measuring wheel encoder on the CtrlX-Drive's second port, and then map it as a kind of Encoder-Axis in the CtrlX-Core ? Is it achievable with SoftMotion function blocks? Is there any SoftMotion limitation?

Is it possible to get motion cycle times faster than 2ms?

Is it possible to use Torque/Force Control with the CtrlX-Core and the CtrlX-Drives?

Let me know if we have to stick with MLC for now or we could start testing with CtrlX-Core platforms.

Hello

with Softmotion we have no experience here.
But we are currently working for another customer on a solution for flying saw with metal forming.

This project will be with the ctrlX Core, our Motion and the Synchron Motion function.
