1-1 Features
The CK3E-series is the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller that supports the EtherCAT master func-
tions.
The CK3E-series Programmable Multi-Axis Controller has the following features.
Fast Multi-Axis Control
The Motion Controller uses the Programmable Multi Axis Controller , developed by Delta Tau Data Sys-
tems, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Delta Tau”), a manufacturer specializing in motion controllers.
It allows for multi-axis control of up to 32 axes per unit (when CK3E-1410 is used), and the fast control
whose motion control period is 250 μs or more.
Constructing Systems with Greater Flexibility
Programs for the Motion Controller can be written in G-code, C language, or Programmable Multi-Axis
Controller specific language. This function design flexibility allows you to create functions that are opti-
mized for your equipment.
Various EtherCAT-compatible products such as image sensors and I/O as well as motion controls can
be connected, allowing you to construct original systems to suit the equipment.
Compactness
The Controller is compact and has less wiring due to the use of the EtherCAT network, which helps to
downsize devices.
