Successful Application: Top cleaner greenhouse deck

Another successful application from our parters in Netherlands Innomotion.

On below video new top cleaner unit for cleaning the glass roofs of greenhouses, and since last year fully equipped with delta inverters

For the cleaning brushes they use VFD-L, And to drive the car over the roof our VFD-E.
And finally to control all the sequence a simple SS2 makes all the job.

Congratulations Innomotion!

Announcement: Delta Smart Viewer

New software available on the Delta web page, and as always for free!

Delta Smart viewer is the new tool to allows us to check our PLC status using Android device, like for example our Smart phone or tablet.

TargetSetting_phone

On this recent version is only supported wifi communication, but is planned in near future to support 3G communication, being able to monitor and control our installations using our smart devices.
Up to 10 devices can be supported with the actual version.

TargetSetting

Able to monitor temperature or any other graphic value using run-chart, with a top samples number of 5000.

Furthermore, the export/import profile, makes it easy to configure other devices with same connection.

So If you have Android in your smart phone, feel free to download it from our website!
Delta Smart Viewer v1.01
In case you´re iOS user, am afraid you will need to wait
(and for windows mobile… we’ll see ;)

Warning
Delta Smart VIEWer 1.01 supports Android 2.2 ~ Android 4.2
Before downloading the software, please find and tap Settings > Security on your Android home screen and mark the Unknown sources checkbox to allow the installation of applications not from Google Play™

Successful Application: Metal bar feeder

Another successful application, and this time comes from the company Thelen Tech from Finland.

This company engineer is a big an of Delta and our step and direction solutions, and for this simple but effective solution they use 750W ASDA-B2 drive for the motion together with DVP28SV2 for the control.
And to monitor or configure speed, they add DOPB04 HMI.

Check the machine!

Originally this was planned as full automatic system, plan was there is gripper
which would push material to cutting length, then saw it, then push more… and
whole it should be fast (over 30m/min speed)

The cutting length can be adjusted using manually using hand-wheel, or automatic using HMI.
There is also possibility for closed loop feed back, but in these case feedback is taken from D1336 register

Also +/-10V speed command is possible, motion control just calculates difference between real and wanted position and turns it PWM (or voltage).
This pretty nice arrangement for relative (like MPG) and absolute positioning using at the same time.

Thank you very much Thelen Tech to share this new machine with us!
Keep impressing us like that!

Successful Application: 11 Axis Cutting / profiling machine

Another successful application from our Netherlands distributor Innomotion.

This time is a Woodcutting / Profiling machine with 11 axis control!

Kast

As you can see on the picture our partners use 7 VFD-E drives for transportation and high speed spindle, and 4 servodrives ASDA-A2 400W for the cutting/profiling.
Everything controlled by central CPU with Master CANopen module (DVPCOPM-SL).

Via the PC Cad drawings are imported to the Machine and machine settings are executed. The PLC is controlling all the I/O and servo’s for the motion.
In this machine the wooden boards for the stairs are cut to length , width and angle on front and end of the board. The PC software is written in Labview.

I hope you like it!
And with some luck, you can use it as inspiration for your next project!
