Table positioning
Table positioning: Frequent in conveyor and logistics
applications
Drive application: Table positioning
Positioning is one of the most common conveyor and logistic
applications, e.g. as used in storage and retrieval units.
Positioning is used wherever material must be moved from one
position to another.
If an application includes up to 32 different target
positions, the MOVIDRIVE® technology version
performs this task using the "Table Positioning"
application module. Movement takes place subject to position
control and the target position is reached to the precise
increment.
Table positioning applications can be found in the following
sectors:
- Materials handling
-
- Trolleys
- Hoists
- Rail vehicles
- Logistics
- Palletizing / handling
The solution with MOVIDRIVE®
Set parameters instead of programming
Use the “Table Positioning” application module (in the
application version of the MOVIDRIVE® operating
software MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio). A
user-friendly interface guides you through the process of
setting the parameters. All you have to do is enter the
parameters you need for your application: for example,
reduction ratios, travel speeds, driving diameters and
target positions. The application module uses this
information to create the control program and loads it into
the inverter.
Wide range of functions
No matter how large the variety of applications for table
positioning, the wide range of functions provided by the
application module provides the right solution for every
task.
Choice of control via fieldbus or terminals.
- Up to 32 table positions can be defined and selected.
- The travel speed can be selected for each positioning
movement.
- The ramp can be set separately for each positioning
movement.
- Software limit switches can be defined and evaluated.
- Either incremental encoders or absolute encoders can
be used as external encoders.
- Guided startup and diagnostics.
The advantages at a glance
- User-friendly user interface.
- You only have to enter the parameters required for
table positioning (reduction ratios, speeds, diameters).
- Guided parameter setting process instead of
complicated programming.
- Monitor mode for optimum diagnostics.
- Users do not need any programming experience.
- Rapid familiarization with the system.
