The excitingly NEW MX04 controller represents a system solution for monitored axis adjustments on production machinery. Developed to be used in conjunction with the bus-enabled position indicator AP04, this device helps to increase the efficiency of production machines by significantly reducing set-up times. Retrofitting the units to boost the productivity of existing installations also presents no problem. The entire system is designed for simple installation and operation. The controller performs the parameterisation of the connected position indicators as well as the management of up to 99 setpoint records. Axis mounted position indicator AP04 displays the relevant setpoint and actual value, and the positioning status is clearly indicated by means of a two-colour LED. Setpoint programming is effected by the teach-in method. Retrofitting to existing installations is simple by the fact that position indicator AP04 is identical to mechanical spindle position indicators DA04 and DA09S in its mounting dimensions. Fitting therefore does not require any physical changes to be made to the machine itself. Nor does the automonous system solution made up of MX04 and AP04 require any connection to a PLC, which means that fitting and operation can be managed easily even without programming skills. Both production quality and machine efficiency can thereby be increased considerably at a very modest expense.
