Motion control for machine tools

Solution for an extremely robust motion controller

The motion sequence of a machine is highly complex and innovative systems are required to implement customer-specific solutions dynamically and in line with performance requirements. SYS TEC electronic has developed a robust motion control board for use in machine tools. The controller is programmable in C/C++ and allows synchronous operation of up to 8 axes with a cycle time of 50µs.

SYS TEC electronic has developed a robust motion control board for use in machine tools.
The controller can be programmed in C/C++ and enables synchronous operation of up to 8 axes with a cycle time of 50 µs.

To achieve this level of performance, several CPUs work together via a bus system, with each one handling specific sub-tasks. A simple API encapsulates access to all device resources and motion functions, ensuring that the user application retains full control over system behaviour and real-time characteristics. Hardware and software measures protect the design against unauthorised copying.

During development, the devices underwent extensive climatic, mechanical and EMC testing. Following a successful prototyping phase, SYS TEC electronic took over series production and set up an automated test system for calibrating the analogue circuitry and for functional testing of each board.

SYS TEC electronic was responsible for the development of the motion controller (hardware, firmware, API), validation through environmental testing, series production and the development of a product-specific test system to ensure stable, quality-assured production.

Why this controller helped our client’s project move forward

With the robust motion control card, the customer received a system that:

  • controls up to 8 axes with a cycle time of 50 µs in a highly dynamic and synchronised manner,
  • can be flexibly integrated into various machine designs thanks to C/C++ programming and a clear API,
  • offers stable real-time performance thanks to a optimised multi-CPU design,
  • and reliably safeguards intellectual property through hardware and software protection mechanisms.

The combination of high-performance hardware, a streamlined API and automated series testing shortened development and commissioning times, increased process reliability during subsequent operation and created a scalable basis for further machine variants.
