Webinar
The Science and Art of Machine Design
About the Webinar
Creating a system from a specification is not just about meeting the basic requirements. To create a truly high performing system, the design must be optimized for efficiency of throughput and reliability.
In this webinar we will evaluate an example application utilizing the Automation1 machine control platform and consider its key criteria to show how this influences the system architecture. We will demonstrate the methods used to evaluate motion technology with respect to the production process and show how to achieve close integration and synchronization. From the definition of the basic process architecture, we will also discuss the needs of operator and machine interfacing.
Learning Objectives
Join our webinar to learn the importance of and options surrounding:
- Motor and drive selection
- System reaction times and synchronization (latency)
- Machinery safety
- Operator interfacing
- Integration with factory control architecture
