Motion Profiles –
Positional Moves
Mint offers many flexible move types to suit
your application requirements.
Positional Moves (Absolute and Relative):
With its own speed, acceleration and
deceleration defined (including trapezoidal
and S-ramp profiles).
Speed Control: A jogging function allows the
motor to run indefinitely at a defined speed,
in position control.
Motion Profiles –
Master/Follower
Master follower applications can be geared
off any of the encoder inputs, Pulse/Direction
input or virtual axes.
Electronic Gearbox & Clutch:
Enables two or more shafts to be linked with
a programmable ratio. Any axis can be geared
to any other axis. Clutch allows precise start
and stop distances when synchronizing.
Registration on the Fly: An offset move can
be superimposed on the gearing move for
position correction. This can be triggered from
any of digital inputs or by Mint.
Electronic Cam: Replaces traditional
mechanical cams with servo/vector/stepper
motor and software programmable profiles
(relative or absolute).
Flying Shear: Allows position synchronization
of a slave axis to a master, with defined
acceleration and deceleration profiles - all
linked by software to product movement.
Multi-Axis Motion Control
Multi-axis motion control is supported by
Baldor's NextMove family of multi-axis motion
controller. In addition to the supported move
types above, NextMove can perform multi-axis
interpolated motion, tangential knife control,
helical interpolation and splining.
Refer to Catalog BR1202-B for further
information on the Mint programming
language.
Move Buffer Enables
Continuous Motion
All axes have a flexible and powerful move buffer
system that allows multiple move commands to be
loaded and then executed. Each entry in the move
buffer can contain a unique identifier, independent
Speed, Acceleration and Deceleration settings. A
configurable Move buffer low system event will trigger
either a Mint routine or ActiveX service which you
can customize to refill the buffers. Output transitions
states and pulse times and even dwell times can
be loaded into the move buffer to ensure they are
synchronous to the axes motion.
