Force Process Forceteq®
13.1
Overview Forceteq® Functions
The force processes of the XENAX® servo controller
cover four FORCE functions:
- FORCE CALIBRATION:
Calibration of the motor
through detection of all idle running forces
including the payload of the client specific
installation on the slide. This creates the basis to
precisely determine the external application forces.
- FORCE LIMITATION:
Driving with limited force to
an object or an end position if there are no objects
(e.g. inserting parts). Or driving with very little force
in order to detect an “object’s touching position”.
- FORCE MONITORING:
Monitoring the force
progression by defining sectors in a force/ way
diagram (e.g. inspecting switches). These sectors
can automatically be adjusted towards the “object’s
touching position”.
- FORCE CONTROL:
Integration of different FORCE
functions into a program. This is how it becomes
possible to use the force processes decentrally in
the standalone operation mode. Of course these
FORCE functions can also be invoked by a superior
PLC through Ethernet fieldbus.
