Galil Motion Control

     In the age when people are hyper-vigilant about cleanliness, Dishcraft is using robotics and AI to deliver the cleanest dishes to diners, all while making the dishwashing process more eco-friendly and safer for workers.

     Application Note#5534 provides a step-by-step guide for setting up Modbus TCP/IP communications between Red Lion’s CR3000 HMI and Galil’s DMC-4000 and RIO-47300.

     Galil introduces its newest high power, switching power supplies, the PSR-30-24 and PSR-15-48. At a rated output power of 750 Watt, the PSR-30-24 and PSR-15-48 models are capable of providing up to 30 Amp at 24 Volt and 15 Amp at 48 Volt respectively. Both models include Overload, Over Voltage and Over Temperature protection and a shunt regulator with blocking diode, making these supplies ideal for motion control applications where voltage regeneration is a common occurrence.

     Galil’s product workshop has been educating users on the ease of programming, setup, tuning and troubleshooting for decades. Now this same product workshop is available without boarding a flight, booking a hotel, or even shipping and receiving a demo box. We have now taken this class online.

     Available for purchase now is Galil’s new DMC-21x5 controller. The DMC-21x5 is the latest addition to the Econo family and is an easy upgrade path from the long running DMC-21x3 series. The DMC-21x5 utilizes nearly all of the same peripherals as the DMC-21x3 controller, making the transition simple. The main difference between the DMC-21x5 and its predecessor is a state of the art ARM based processor that places its communication, command processing and memory capabilities on par with Galil’s line of current generation motion controllers, while still remaining at the Econo Series price of the DMC-21x3.

     The 2019-2020 Biennale (bi-annual exhibition) focused on how robotics, AI and automation can be utilized to develop the “smart city”. UEO was selected from hundreds of applicants to exhibit a project in the Biennale. Their exhibit, Instant Lounge, dynamically deploys temporary public furniture, with the help of Galil’s Econo Series DMC-4163 motion controller.

     Galil is proud to introduce a new “all in one” multi-axis drive for the DMC-41x3 and DMC-40x0 product families. This all in one drive module is perfect for customers who want have the ability to use one configuration in multiple applications or mix and match motors on the same bank of drives. This drive is available in 2 and 4 axis configurations.

     Monitoring and troubleshooting real time motion control systems can be tricky in high performance applications where the majority of PC and controller resources are dedicated to running the application. Adding on an extra layer of monitoring software can have a non negligible effect on the overall system performance and can in some instances eliminate or worsen the behavior you're looking to monitor. The ability to remotely monitor communications and status in real time from a separate PC is invaluable in these situations. Enter gcaps Remote Connect!
