For most applications, a complete control platform of a PLC and motion controller will do the job. However, for smaller systems, this may not address competitive cost pressures. The MR-MQ100 allows a single axis to be completely controlled and synchronised to a separate encoder or virtual axis with no additional controller hardware. Hence applications such as rotary cutters, flying saws and labelling can be economically accomplished without exceeding a tight control budget.

Limit cost, not options
While the MR-MQ100 is an economical solution, this doesn’ t mean lacking in features. A complete range of essential functions are available, including encoder and virtual axis synchronization, registration, point to point positioning and user defined cam profiles. In addition, the hardware complements these powerful software features with built-in I/ O and SSCNET III motion networking capability as well as an Ethernet port.
