Mitsubishi - Positioning Control
The positioning controller, together with the programmable controller, personal computer and operator interface, is one of the four main units of FA (factory automation).
Among them, the positioning controller is important as the basis of FA, and regarded as the center of the mechatronics field in which many senior engineers have been playing active parts.
Positioning is all about motion, and motion often involves speed and precision. As speed can be related to productivity, it is an area of much development. But, when the machine speed increases, a problem with the stop precision is often generated.
In order to solve this problem,diversified grades of position controllers have been required and developed.
Improvement of the machine efficiency generates immeasurable added value, including reduction of labour and the machine floor area for the same quantity of production.
If there are no problems related to the positioning aspect of a machine, it may mean that the machine is not running most efficiently. Here is where the science of developing an optimum positioning control system comes in.
