October 24, 2013 -Elmo enhances Gold Maestro distributed networking motion controller. Upgrades in Version 1.1.2.0 include Full Delta Robot Support, Enhanced Error Correction Support and Superimposed Motion. Delta Robot Support includes Linear, Circle, Polynomial, Table Spline and Table PVT. Enhanced Error Correction Support enables position correction of both single and multi-axis positions in real time, based on correction data. Superimposed management of error correction is fully supported. In addition, the feature supports 1D, 2D and 3D error correction. Flying Vision with Superimposed Motions (that is, adding another profiler on top of an ongoing motion in real time), significantly improves machine throughput. Flying Vision is used mainly when the exact end position of a motion is unknown and needs to change during the motion, without crossing the initial location. With this functionality, the user can change the target position without changing the current Function Block. Flying Vision enables increased accuracy and motion stability, while reducing process time, with potentially improved speed of 30% or more. With the Fast Reference to Drive Functionality, the G-MAS can send an additional position reference to a drive. The position reference can specify the actual or target positions for axes in the system, as well as a position along a Group axis path. This can be used for numerous purposes, including Additional Auxiliary Profiler to drive, Advanced Gain Scheduling, and Touch Probe.
