Vibration knife is a modern new type of CNC cutting method, named after its blade that vibrates up and down at extremely high frequencies to complete cutting. The vibration knife equipment is equipped with an intelligent CNC system. With the help of the CNC system, the vibration knife can accurately and quickly complete various machining tasks, and has a high degree of automation and strong machining flexibility.
The vibration knife control card is currently the mainstream solution for vibration knife control systems and is also a type of motion control card. The motion control card is a computer-based upper control unit, which is mostly a square electronic board. After being connected to the vibration knife cutting machine, it also needs to be connected to the computer through USB or Ethernet cable. Some models of motion control cards can also use some functions without the need for a computer.
The motion control card usually comes with accompanying operating software on the PC end. After receiving instructions from the operator, the motion control card can adjust the motor speed in real time by changing the pulse frequency sent, thereby achieving multi axis coordinated control of multiple servo motors and helping the equipment complete various processing tasks.
Compared to other types of control systems, motion control cards have the following characteristics:
Strong stability: The motion control card can maintain continuous and stable operation in complex environments such as factories or workshops, and can also continuously and stably complete control tasks in terms of work performance, which is conducive to improving the yield rate.
Strong performance: By utilizing the professional motion control chip of the control card itself and the powerful performance of the PC, the computing power of the motion control card is very powerful. Through calculation, the motion control card can more finely depict the shape of the workpiece, thereby achieving high-precision machining.
Interface friendly: Based on PC, the motion control card is equipped with a human-machine interface that is closer to commonly used software, with intuitive and friendly interaction, convenient operation, and easier to get started, effectively reducing learning costs.
Comprehensive functions: The motion control card covers various functions such as mechanical axis control, automatic loading and unloading, graphic editing, processing mode planning, safety monitoring, etc., which can meet the various needs of automated production.
Cost advantage: Compared to high-precision motion control solutions such as soft PLCs or high-performance motion controllers, motion control cards have controllable costs and relatively lower prices. Typically, deployment can be completed at a cost of thousands of yuan per device, making them more cost-effective.
Development convenience: With the help of the vast function library on the PC side, developers can quickly develop human-machine interfaces using multiple advanced programming languages, allowing suppliers to easily add or modify multiple functions according to customer needs.
