used in the automotive industry, though it can be applied to other industries as well. “For automotive-parts suppliers, floor- space costs money,” explains RoboVent general manager Jim Reid. “Reducing the footprint of the dust collector allows them to maximize the productivity of their factory
As with the other Delta controllers, the RMC200 synchronizes the motion of mul- tiple axes to enable the construction of machines with scalable performance and quick production changeovers. It also pro- vides built-in support for controlling pres- sure/force as well as position/velocity/ acceleration. The controller can transition smoothly between these control modes,
enabling smooth, reliable motion. Physical enhancements to the RMC200 include a display screen on the CPU, I/O modules with push-in wire connectors, and fully encased, user-installable modules that rock-in to provide power-sequencing

closed-loop electro-hydraulic motion con- troller, extending the capabilities of previous generations of RMC motion controllers in order to control as many as 32 axes. It employs Delta’s RMCTools software for setup, tuning, programming and diagnos- tics, which help to shorten application development and deployment times with a graphical programming interface, a pow- erful motion plotting tool, and a Tuning Wizard.
A single RMC200 now can manage the motion of a complete metals-processing production line or a complex testing appli- cation involving numerous sensor inputs.
