Industry Applications

Application Notes

Rolling Mills

Delta's motion control modules prove high throughput, fast error handling, and fully tested third party vendor module for rolling mills.
Application Note

Powder Metal Press

Powder metallurgy, or P/M, is a highly developed method of manufacturing reliable ferrous and nonferrous parts. Delta Computer Systems provide closed loop control of both position and pressure with high speed recipe driven sequences.
Application Note

Blow Molding

Blow Molding requires precise position, pressure, and temperature control. Delta's motion controllers are well suited to coordinate these steps allowing 2 millsecond position control of multiple axes.
Application Note

Injection Molding

Injection Molding requires precise motion, pressure, and temperature control in a multi-step process. Delta's motion controllers coordinate the control of the plasticizer screw, the shot injector, the mold clamp, and the part ejector.
Application Note

Edger Setworks

Edgers are used in the secondary breakdown step of cutting logs into boards. Delta motion control module(s) handle edger sets with high throughput and fast error-handling.
ApplicationNote

Lumber Sorter/Stacker

Delta's RMC motion controllers provide smooth operation with high-speed coordinated movement for maximum lumber stacker feed rates.
