Cutting edge accuracy with the Polaris CNC control system

09 November 2017

LG Motion provides Polaris Motion control systems specifically designed for CNC machines in laser-based manufacturing applications, diamond tool cutting and grinding of optical surfaces and many other high-performance areas.

Polaris Motion simply delivers lower spindle temperature, improved speed control and a constant torque output.

Polaris drive systems are optimised for:

• High performance 3 Phase linear and rotary BLDC motors
• High performance spindle motors from very slow to 100krpm
• High precision constant velocity motors better than 1ppm
• Fast Tool Servo (FTS) motors
• Voice coil focus motors
• Galvoscanner motors

Synchronise spindles, fast tool servos and galvoscanners with the precision machine tool

If the operation demands that the machine stage axes with high precision spindles, fast tool scanners and laser scanners need to be synchronised then the latest solution form Polaris has the answer. The integrated solution delivers 50kHz servo rates and all the motion axes are synchronised in nanoseconds using Memory, a real time Gbps network.

The result is superior form accuracy, surface finish and better throughput in parts/hour.

Mercury real time motion control network

The register space of Mercury supports up to 8,188 network devices and each network chain has a 1Gbit/s capacity. Mercury has some powerful features which create a scalable high-performance motion control system capable of any motion control application.
