GE Fanuc: Programmable Pressure & Position Controller
Charlottesville, VA — Fanuc Automation, a unit of GE Industrial, has introduced its new Power Mate i — Model H Pressure and Position Controller, offering industrial motion control of position and pressure commands. The controller provides a new function for Power Mate i-H, an 8-axis positioning CNC suitable for controlling general industrial machines. The newly developed Pressure and Position Control function enables the best operation by combining position control and highly accurate pressure control, which uses feedback from pressure sensor.

According to the company, the pressure and position control function enables a positional control command and pressure control command to be specified at the same time. This function is useful for performing press-fitting of pins, die-cushion of a servo press or bending of sheet metal by highly-accurate pressure and position control. This product provides very precise control, but utilizes standard components; no special equipment is needed. And, the control of a servo pressure valve can be done in the CNC, further simplifying operations.

The product control is an axis control function that automatically selects and executes position control based on a positional control command when no force is applied to the axis, and automatically selects and executes pressure control based on a pressure command when an external force is applied to the axis. For example, the function enables the tool to approach a workpiece in the axis direction by using position control until the tool touches the workpiece. The function can then execute pressure control with a specified pressure while the tool is in contact with the workpiece in the axis direction. When the tool is separated from the workpiece, the function moves the tool to the specified position-by-position control.
