TIP 130-0408 Ream Pusher (Rake) AC drive

This upgrade is part of the Technical Improvement Program (TIP); it replaces the BAM motion controller and associated touch screen with a Giddings & Lewis (G&L) MMC Plus motion controller and a Schneider Electric (Magelis) 12 in color touch screen. During this upgrade, the original I/O racks or modules are removed and replaced by G&L I/O modules.

A new 12 in color touch screen is then mounted on a swing arm that communicates back to the MMC Plus. If the machine is already equipped with Pemco’s Nordson glue option, then the MMC Plus also controls the glue operation through the use of the color touch screen.

This upgrade is compatible both with AMK or encoder sheeter interface options.

Easy to use G&L programming software (not included) gives users the option of monitoring and troubleshooting problems that would be almost impossible to perform with BAM. The new and improved 12 in color touch screen eliminates the need for additional push buttons on the swing arm; instead all of the same functionalities are integrated into the touch screen itself. The MMC Plus controller is also a new standard in motion controller world that reduces the scan time significantly in order to allow future scan-time-intensive applications to be incorporated without sacrificing the actual scan time.
