Multi-axis positioning controller EPPC™

pneumaticdigitalEthernet

The Electronic Pneumatic Position Control EPPC™ provides optimum vibration isolation for high-precision machines, highly dynamic and vibration-sensitive measuring machines, microscopes and testing and production machines. The EPPC™ can be combined with three or six BiAir® membrane air spring control groups to control up to six degrees of freedom. Bilz offer a wide range of different size air springs for system design. Properties Optimum positional accuracy (+/-8 µm) Individually adjustable system parameters (such as damping) Short deflection and settling times in response to load changes One high-performance servo valve and one displacement sensor per degree of freedom Optimised connecting system using CAN bus technology Intelligent browser-based user interface for setting, diagnostics and monitoring, connection via Ethernet, remote maintenance possible Operator status display (e.g. ready, working position, motion complete, error) Digital I/O interfaces for external control and monitoring Noise-free control due to high-resolution signal processing and servo-valve technology Robust and proven air spring technology, can be combined with Bilz BiAir® membrane air springs No disturbing heat generation, magnetic field fluctuations or high power consumption as in electromagnetic actuators The high-performance electronics, comprising a 14-bit AD converter and 16-bit signal processor, are integrated into the pressure control valves and so ensure virtually noise-free control. Losses (pressure drops) within the hose connections are minimised by directly connecting the pressure control valves to the respective air springs.
