and Pneumatic Applications
Aida-America Corp., Day-
ton, OH, introduces an
advanced servo-press con-
trol platform, which, via its
Aida DSF servo-automation
interface, reportedly signif-
icantly improves the per-
formance of the Aida DSF-
series (Direct Drive Servo
Former) servo presses. Fea-
tures include an Allen-
Bradley Compact Logix PLC;
Allen-Bradley 19-in. PC touch-
screen OIT; Beckhoff servo-
motor motion control; and storage for 500 job recipes, which can be downloaded and uploaded to a flash drive. In addition, the plat- form includes an integrated tonnage monitor with signature analysis; three-speed step-feed (hand wheel) slide and motion con- trol for improved setup; 16 smart PLS cams; and 16-input Smart Die protection with both PNP/NPN signals. The control displays actual and virtual crank angles, and is capable of displaying com- patible transfer and feeder screens. www.aida-global.com

On display will be Delta’s high-performance motion-control prod- uct line that includes the RMC75 two-axis and RMC150 eight-axis controllers, which provide precise closed-loop position, velocity, pressure, force, and position-pressure or position-force control for
electric, hydraulic and pneumatic applications. New for 2015 are several features, including custom feedback. Designing with the controllers is supported by a powerful suite of development software called RMCtools, which includes automated wizards for application tuning, motion programming and plotting of motion results. www.deltamotion.com
