New 'Hot' fittings from SMC, for high temperatures
Machine builders requiring high temperature or corrosion resistant insert fittings for applications involving air, water or steam now have the hottest solution around, the Series KFG from SMC
Designed initially for point to point applications, when positioning a single axis actuator, further developments have now meant that up to an additional six extra slave units can be used, positioning further axis, all being controlled via a PLC through the LC8 master unit.
Using up to 117 programmable position steps, parameters such as velocity, acceleration, deceleration and torque can be quickly set using the "user friendly" Windows based LC8 setting software included with the driver.
In addition, up to 5 different types of palletising patterns can be easily configured for 2-axis pick and place applications.
The LC8 can be specified for use with either 50, 100 or 200W servo motors to suit most application needs and is the perfect partner when used with the SMC LG1, LJ1 or LTF electric actuator ranges.
