A STITCH IN TIME THANKS TO CONTROL TECHNIQUES SERVO
DRIVES
Saurer, based in Arbon, Switzerland, is the world’s leading
manufacturer of bespoke embroidery systems and achieves its
remarkable operating speeds and precision thanks to servo drives
and motors from Control Techniques.
The Swiss company, now part of OC Oerlikon, leads the way in
CAD/CAM operated single and double frame machines that feature
completely revised drive concepts to give flexibility in operation
and high operating performance that is some 10% better than others
on the market.
The key to this dominant position has been the integration of
the Control Techniques’ triple-axis MultiAx servodrive system , in
conjunction with the advanced Control Techniques Dynamics Unimotor
servo motors that use SLM technology that replaces the many
connections between the motion controller, the drive and the motor
with a communication cable. At Saurer, wiring terminations
are half that of other systems, improving reliability and, because
Multiax is so compact, cubicle sizes are much smaller too, a major
benefit for customers where floor space is at a premium.
The Epoca 05 shuttle embroidery machine makes full use of the
electronic drives, being available in single or double frame
format. A conventional double frame machine has both frames
mechanically linked and working in parallel. Should a thread
break on one, or if maintenance is required on one frame,
production is completely stopped.
On the Epoca 05 system, however, the two frames are linked
together electronically, using communication between the Control
Techniques intelligent servo-drives, so that a stoppage on one
doesn’t affect the output of the other.
Equally, the two frames can operate independently if
required.>>>>>>>
