Updated engineering
tool kit for packaging machines
The ECAM-4 engineering toolkit, developed by ELAU for motion control
applications in electronic packaging machines, now is even easier.
Now available in its updated version 3.0, from ELAU, is ECAM-4, the engineering
tool kit for motion design and drive configuration.
Find Information and Suppliers of servo
drives.
With the addition of new functions, such as a simplified user mode with
quick sizing and error detection in the new motor editor, even new users
can achieve fast and reliable results. ECAM V3.0 also integrates the new
PacDrive* iSH Series
Intelligent Servo Modules.
The ECAM-4 engineering toolkit was developed by ELAU for motion control
applications in electronic packaging machines. With the motion designer
from ECAM-4, highly complex motion profiles can be easily edited, even
for multi-axis systems with virtual or real master axes. The tool's second
main function is the sizing calculator. Open to cam disc tables of various
formats, the sizing calculator is equipped with a database that facilitates
the fast and reliable configuration of servo drives using motor drivetrain
data as well as pre-defined applications.
The sizing calculator now has a motor editor that automatically calculates
permissible drive and motor combinations
The tool now supports the following languages: German, Italian, French
and English. The user interface was also revised to provide a clear representation
of the drivetrain and available options.
ECAM-4 V3 with its multitude of new or automated functions, paves the
way toward achieving a result and improving its quality as well. With
a choice of Expert and Standard modes, new users can achieve more reliable
results faster. In standard mode, the tool offers straight-forward axis
configuration and quick sizing with fewer clicks. Moreover, five new position
modes facilitate motion design. Round table, roll feed, belt drive and
coupling elements have been integrated into the mechanical configuration.
The sizing calculator now has a motor editor that automatically calculates
whether the respective combination of drive and motor is permissible.
In addition, the complete gearbox data can be imported from Alpha. Thanks
to a mass and inertia calculator, complex calculations for determining
inertia are no longer necessary. The inertias of various components, such
as shafts and couplings, are automatically calculated based on their dimensions.
During configuration, energy consumption and braking power are calculated
and the user is alerted to excessive current or resistance values.
ELAU AG, part of the Schneider Electric Group, is one of the most experienced
players in the automation technology industry. ELAU has become the world's
largest and fastest growing automation supplier for packaging machinery.
*PacDrive is a trademark of ELAU AG.
