Rockwell Automation Introduces New Electronic Line Shaft Drive for the Newspaper Printing Industry

Rockwell 自動(dòng)化為報(bào)紙印刷業(yè)引進(jìn)新的電子動(dòng)力軸驅(qū)動(dòng)

New PowerFlex-based technology offers press production and printing accuracy

新的以 PowerFlex 為基礎(chǔ)的技術(shù)提供雜志報(bào)紙出版和印刷的準(zhǔn)確性

MILWAUKEE, March 30, 2006 — A new electronic line shaft solution using standard Allen Bradley PowerFlex 700S AC drives from Rockwell Automation helps reduce press downtime and helps the printing industry maximize automation investments. The system enables replacement of outdated mechanical line shafts and gear boxes in newspaper printing, web handling and other tension control applications by leveraging the precise positioning capabilities of the PowerFlex 700S AC drive.

密爾瓦基3月 30 日消息 - 使用來(lái)自 Rockwell 自動(dòng)化的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)艾倫布拉德利（A-B）PowerFlex 700 S 交流驅(qū)動(dòng)的新電子總軸解決方案幫助減少雜志報(bào)紙停工時(shí)間，而且?guī)椭∷I(yè)最大的自動(dòng)化投資收益. 該系統(tǒng)代替了在報(bào)紙印刷、頁(yè)面處理和其它牽力控制應(yīng)用中舊式的機(jī)械動(dòng)力軸以及傳動(dòng)箱，利用PowerFlex 700S交流驅(qū)動(dòng)支持精確的定位能力。

The electronic line shaft system offers the newspaper printers a fast, reliable method of maintaining speed and registration control of printing presses. Users can enjoy the benefits of shaftless drive control, including increased flexibility, improved power transmission and reduced downtime.

電子動(dòng)力軸系統(tǒng)為報(bào)紙印刷機(jī)提供一個(gè)快速可靠的方法，用于保持速度和注冊(cè)控制印刷過(guò)程。用戶可以享受無(wú)軸驅(qū)動(dòng)控制所帶來(lái)的好處，包括增加的靈活性，改良了動(dòng)力傳輸，減少了停工時(shí)間。

"Printers who are looking to upgrade or revamp their current control system will benefit from the flexibility and state-of-the-art performance of the PowerFlex 700S drive in an electronic line shaft configuration," said Gerry Niebler, print marketing manager, Rockwell Automation. "In addition to eliminating the costs of mechanical replacements and spare parts, the system provides precise positioning and synchronization for increased productivity."

羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化打印市場(chǎng)經(jīng)理Gerry Niebler說(shuō)：“期待升級(jí)或者修補(bǔ)正在使用的控制系統(tǒng)的印刷工人將會(huì)受益于電子動(dòng)力軸結(jié)構(gòu)上的PowerFlex 700S驅(qū)動(dòng)的靈活性和高超的性能。除了免除了機(jī)械替換和其他地方的費(fèi)用，系統(tǒng)還提供了精確的定位，同時(shí)增加了生產(chǎn)力。”

With the electronic line shaft capability, users can reduce the mechanical complexity of their system by eliminating expensive rotating components like gears, shafts, clutches and couplings when transmitting power from line shaft motors to the press itself. This, combined with its open architecture and standard off-the-shelf products, helps provide improved usability and support over traditional line shaft drive control. The solution provides a simple retrofit option for adding units on an existing press and helps eliminate the need for expensive components.

利用電子動(dòng)力軸的性能，用戶可以減少他們系統(tǒng)的復(fù)雜性，在動(dòng)力軸把動(dòng)力傳輸?shù)接∷C(jī)的時(shí)候，免除了例如齒輪、軸桿、離合器和耦合等昂貴的傳動(dòng)部件。結(jié)合其開(kāi)放式構(gòu)架和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)原料產(chǎn)品，這樣就幫助提供改善了的可用性而且支持傳統(tǒng)的動(dòng)力軸驅(qū)動(dòng)控制。這個(gè)解決方案提供簡(jiǎn)單而多樣選擇，可以在現(xiàn)有的印刷機(jī)上添加部件，而不需要安裝昂貴的部件。

Drive-to-drive synchronization may be achieved with SynchLink, a high performance, high speed, drive-to-drive fiber optic data link that transmits synchronized drive and application information for multiple drive synchronization. Designed to improve accuracy in printing applications, SynchLink facilitates the transmission of a speed and position reference to help ensure all drives are tightly synchronized, thereby allowing registration and compensation moves to be performed electronically (versus mechanically, on a printing press).

結(jié)合SynchLink可以實(shí)現(xiàn)驅(qū)動(dòng)間同步。SynchLink是一種高性能、高速度、驅(qū)動(dòng)到驅(qū)動(dòng)的光纖數(shù)據(jù)連接，為多驅(qū)動(dòng)同步傳輸同步驅(qū)動(dòng)和應(yīng)用信息。SynchLink設(shè)計(jì)用于提高印刷應(yīng)用的精確性，推動(dòng)一個(gè)速度和定位參考的傳輸，以確保所有的驅(qū)動(dòng)都緊密同步，這樣就允許注冊(cè)補(bǔ)償運(yùn)動(dòng)電子執(zhí)行（相對(duì)與印刷機(jī)上的機(jī)械執(zhí)行）。
