Achieving High Speed and Precision

Real improvement in machine performance is the goal for Moog when developing a solution for our customers. A machine builder named Morphic Technologies (http://www.morphic.se), based in Sweden, is an ideal example of Moog’s ability to design a custom solution that achieves vastly better results than have ever been experienced with their machine. This was accomplished through a partnering relationship that involved applying experience in motion control, and using custom hydraulic and electric products in a wire cracking machine. The challenge in this application involved achieving very high speeds and precise accuracies to create parts that are perfect every time.

The expertise of Moog’s global engineering organization in hydraulic, electric, and hybrid technology was a perfect match for Morphic Technologies as their machine has a hydraulic impact axis and an electric feeding axis. A special customized servomotor and the new high performance DS2100 servodrive were used for the electric axis that controlled the speed of the machine. In addition, the Moog Servo Controller (MSC) was the perfect product to control the three high performance axes. The MSC also proved to be a money-saver as Morphic was able to eliminate the existing PLC. Most importantly, the ultimate solution not only met, but exceeded the customer’s demanding project goals.
