The control concept of the SIMOTION is the ideal automation and drive engineering of a complex hydraulic press used, for example, for internal high-pressure forming (IHF). The SIMOTION platform is particularly suitable for modularly built machines. Open and modular in its structure, this motion control system combines all required subareas of the complete machine control, such as motion control, PLC functionality and technology function.

• Productivity
  durch Maschinenbewegung mit bis zu 64 elektrischen und hydraulischen Achsen
• Flexibility
  thanks to the wide range of power modules and peripheral modules
• Precision
  thanks to the exact positioning and true-to-contour traversing of the axes.

SIMOTION for electric and hydraulic axes

A SIMOTION controller can control machine motion with up to 64 electric or hydraulic axes. Several SIMOTION controllers can be coupled. This allows the number of axes to be increased. This controller platform allows a wide range of power and peripheral modules to be connected directly and delay-free to the controller using a digital interface. This allows the handling devices, and the loading and unloading units, to be easily realized in the same control concept as the closed-loop control of the hydraulic axes. Pressure control, synchronous operation between hydraulic and electric axes, positioning and the on-the-fly transition from the path control to the pressure control for the hydraulic axes belong to the standard function scope of SIMOTION. SIMOTION permits even complex functions, such as the synchronous traversal of several hydraulic cylinders.

• The control of the hydraulic units
• The machine control
• The electric auxiliary drives for the hydraulic pumps
• And the loading and unloading systems and the sensory engineering for recording the position, pressure or speed.
