MP2 Machine Motion Control

Motion controller based automation for an MP2 machine — coordinated axes, servo sizing and soft PLC integration for a special purpose application.

Client

Scope
Motion project
Technologies
  • Motion controller
  • TwinCAT soft PLC
  • Servo drives
  • Servo motors

The challenge

The machine required several axes to move in coordination, with the motion profile determined by the product rather than by a fixed mechanical cam. That put the requirement squarely on the controller and the servo sizing, not on mechanical linkage.

Machine context

  • MP2 machine — coordinated motion axes

Our approach

  1. 01Controller sizing — hardware, software, servo motor and drive selection
  2. 02Motion controller programming with coordinated axis groups
  3. 03TwinCAT soft PLC integration where PC-based control was the better fit
  4. 04Servo tuning against real load conditions
  5. 05Safe homing, enable and fault-recovery sequences

Outcome

  • Coordinated multi-axis motion driven by product parameters
  • Servo sizing validated under real load rather than on paper
  • Predictable recovery behaviour after fault conditions
  • A motion platform that could absorb later product changes
