Hi Peter .. always nice to hear from you. Ya know, after trying to get an Omron NJ to do non-typical machine automation moves, I have come to appreciate the incredible work your design team created in the Delta programming software. Sure, I was a newbie, but it was so intuitive, and simple to create everything I could imagine from curve shapes determined by complex mathematics, and ramping any variable .. all, on the fly, in real time. Damn near everything you need to do with Omron NJ is by brute force. Well, that's not entirely fair ... they do have a few bells and whistles... an' their NA HMI is cool (not as good as Red Lion .. but OK.)
These are very slow test moves. When moving water, the LinMot needs harder PID tuning .. I see forces up to 135 pounds.. with some moves in the 0.4 Hz range.. I can't use hydraulics, leaks are inevitable, an' water and oil don't do well together. You have any really cool projects lately, other than helping land the Curiosity rover on Mars? Also, did you know Delta played a role in the last King Kong movie?
