The Aku Shaper uses an Industrial quality motion controller with high quality AC brushless servo motors and drives. Over ¾ of a million of these controllers are in use throughout the world today so service and support is available wherever your location. We cannot over emphasize the importance of using a controller that has this type of worldwide support. Along with performance considerations, this was a major reason for us changing to this higher quality and more serviceable controller.
We build the control system to our exact specification, so you are guaranteed to get the most reliable and user friendly system for your machine. On top of this we build the controller and machine in house so service and technical support is in our hands, we don't rely on 3rd party contractors to support our machines. Our controller uses a 32 bit Motorola micro-computer to perform the timing and interpolation functions for smooth operation under our custom designed Windows based machine interface software.
Fully closed loop servo motion controller with AC Brushless servo motors
Higher motion speed - up to 600 mm per second means faster machining times - up to 5 mins per board faster
Up to 500 blocks/sec process speed
The file is pre-processed before the machine starts so look ahead is for the whole file.
Ethernet communication - fast and robust
Fully programmable acceleration ramp.
True 4 axis interpolation.
Continuous motion contouring.
Full computer interface including toolpath and G-code display including Zoom, Rotate and Pan
Start the program from any line of code
PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, integration limits, notch filter and low-pass filter
Position: 32 bit (± 2.15 billion counts per move; automatic rollover)
Velocity: Up to 12 million counts/sec for servo motors
Acceleration: Up to 67 million counts/sec2
Torque limit setting
Our controller works on 240 Vac single phase power supply, a transformer will be provided at no extra cost for countries with different voltages.
