Trio Motion Technology

Motion Coordinators are designed from the ground up to support motion applications with continuous motion in one direction. In such applications as printing, and flow wrapping the machine is required to remain under precise position control whilst acting in some ways as just a speed axis. The Motion Coordinator allows for endless motion axes which will “wrap” their axis positions either automatically or at a time to suit the application program. This shifting of the frame of reference of the axis can occur during moves and at full speed. “Virtual” axes can be defined in a Motion Coordinator. A virtual axis is an axis that is provided for the convienience of the programmer. They may be used for example to superimpose an advance or retard move on to a continuous motion in a very simple way.
