ServoMove System uses an electromechanical linear ball-screw actuator with brushless dc motor to perform repetitive-motion operations on assembly lines and in applications involving robotics and automated tasks. Modular design can be introduced into virtually any industrial servo motion system at single or multiple locations. System consists of operator interface (CAOP), programmable logic controller, and local I/O module. The CAOP is compatible with most PLCs, can control up to four SKF Type CASI 40 servo actuators and accommodate an unlimited number of submasters. System communicates directly with a CANopen bus between CAOP and actuators.
