Positioning

Optimal Combination with Servo Drives

"RTEX" positioning units

Compatible with Realtime Express MINAS A4N* network servo systems.

Facilitate multi-axis high precision positioning

High-accuracy multi-axis positioning control achieved by high-speed 100Mbps communication.

Compatible with commercially available LAN cables, significantly reducing wiring costs.

Two-axis unit available in addition to the four- and eight-axis units.

Data from a maximum of 600 points can be registered for each axis.

Three-axis helical interpolation supported in addition

to two-axis linear and two-axis circular interpolation functions.

Dedicated tool software "Configurator PM" supports operations from setup through startup and monitoring.

Equipped with a manual pulser input terminal, allowing for fine teaching.

Controls up to 256 axes, adequately supporting large-scale equipment control

Up to 32 eight-axis units can be connected and up to 256 axes controlled (when using FP2SH with H type backplane).

Selectable among two, four, and eight-axis types to flexibly support control system configurations of a few or multiple axes.

Use in combination with the ultra-high speed and large capacity FP2SH CPU unit (20k steps/1ms (measured by our company), program capacity of 120k steps) adequately supports the control of large-scale equipment.
