Call us or visit our website for more information As part of the Mclennan supplied system, the pre-programmed HMI selects individual motion sequences stored in the each intelligent drive with corresponding end-effector temperature settings and communicates the positional and temperature information via the Modbus TCP protocol network to a higher level controller. The motors microposition special ‘wheels or flipper-shaped’ end-effectors that are designed to collect sample material from the powder stream for analysis by various imaging tools and spectroscopic equipment. Mclennan worked with ExpoPharma to supply an Ethernet-based three- axis micropositioning motion sub-system as a Modbus TCP protocol network segment. The system includes integrated microstepping motors with built-in motion controls, precision planetary gear units, an HMI and a temperature controller.
