FABTECH Previews
Closed-Loop Motion Controllers
Delta Computer Systems Booth 3341
Delta Computer Systems, Battle
Ground, WA, will showcase its RMC75E
and RMC150E closed-loop motion
controllers, well-suited for metal-
forming applications such as
presses because they can control
force as well as position, and can
transition smoothly between the two control modes. The units also can synchronize the motion of multiple motion axes—RMC75 controls one or two axes, and RMC150 can control as many as eight motion axes. Also on display: RMCTools software, which simplifies integration of the controllers. Delta’s Plot Manager software gives a visu- al record of the motion; a motion simulator enables motion systems to be developed
ing without washing, while providing good in-process rust protection. Non-stain- ing, the lubricants can be used in dilution ratios from 4:1 to 15:1.www.toweroil.com
Control-Reliable
Double Valves
Ross Controls Booth 3350
Ross Controls,
Troy, MI, will show-
case safety and pro-
ductivity solutions
with its control-reli-
able double. Perfect
for clutch/brake
applications, the DM2
Series D valves are avail-
able in sizes 2, 4, 8, 12 and 30. Addi- tionally, because counterbalance settings affect most areas of press perform- ance, Ross also will feature its automatic counterbalance units, which promise to help minimize wear and strain on presses caused by improper settings.
