Electronics Supply Chain controller controller multi-axis multi-axis programmable programmableOMRON AUTOMATION CK3M programmable multi-axis controller delivers output speeds of 50µs/5 axes, built with the needs of automotive and semiconductor manufacturing in mind. Device achieves nanoscale motion control designed to keep production lines flexible enough to accommodate the needs of the future. Device facilitates fully synchronized motion control by providing connectivity to virtually any motor or encoder using EtherCAT and encoder communication protocols. Device lowers the cost of design changes due to the discontinuation of used parts. In addition to the benefits of fully synchronized motion control, device makes it possible to use ANSI C or an original programming language so that machine builders can create their own control algorithms.
