Roller Screw versus Ball Screw Actuators
In the ever-evolving field of engineering, roller screw technology has become a significant force in linear electric actuator motion control....
The MC405 is a high specification Motion Coordinator using a high performance ARM11 processor, with five flexible axis ports and four Voltage outputs.
The flexible axis ports can be configured in software as feedback devices or pulse direction outputs. As outputs they can be used as pulse and direction with stepper or servo drives or they can operate as a simulated encoder output. When configured as feedback they can be either incremental encoder input or one of three popular absolute encoder types; SSI, Tamagawa or Endat. Any feedback axis with a voltage output can be used to form a closed loop servo.
The MC405 is available in 2 different axis configurations. Both models feature a total of 16 axes in software. Any axes not assigned to built-in hardware can be used as a virtual axis. Every axis can be programmed to move using linear, circular, helical or spherical interpolation, electronic cams, linked axes and gearboxes.
The built-in Ethernet port, Serial port and CAN port makes the Trio MC405 motion controller an extremely flexible motion controller for communication with other systems. In addition to programming the motion controller and the connection of the HMI, various protocols are available for communication with PC and PLC.
User programs can be written in Trio-based multi-tasking Trio MOTION-iX language using the powerful Motion Perfect application software to easily create complex movements. In addition, the standard IEC 61131-3 programming language is available, enabling fully functional PLC programming.
The binary and analog IO integrated in the motion controller can be expanded with the Trio CAN IO modules:
Sub-project completed by the project team of ATB Automation. Positioning of an injection mold with IAI RoboCylinder actuators from the RCP-R series.
The complete control is programmed in the Trio MC405 motion controller equipped with various I / O modules and a 10 "touch screen.
Manual testing of often hundreds of components in the circuit board is replaced by a XYZΦ-positioning system in a PCB scanner. The test time is halved thanks to the speed and accuracy of the machine. The risk of skipping components during the test is nil.
4-axis milling machine where a chisel with an integrated helical movement is positioned and thread is cut. The machine cut threads on location in old threaded holes.

CAM shapes, linked motion, linear, circular, helical and spherical interpolation.
Expandable with various I/O modules, displays and programmable with IEC 61131-3
ATB Automation supplies motion controllers from Trio Motion Technology and Leadshine. The Trio motion controllers can also be easily extended with various I / O and control panels so that the controller also can operate as stand-alone machine controller .
