AFC 1500 Features - State of the Art Hardware

• Space-Saving Design:
  FEC has applied the latest digital and surface-mount technology to develop a modular, more compact design for the AFC1500 fastening system allowing for reduced plant floor space.  The SAN Unit (fastening controller) features a combined servo drive & fastening controller all in the same unit.  The Multi Unit (Multiple spindle controller) features modular I/O interfaces, communication ports and high speed control of up to 31 spindles.
• Energy Efficient:
  Full digital motor control allows for high efficiency and accuracy
• Flexible I/O:
  You choose the I/O interface on the Multi Unit! From 24VDC Discrete I/O to any number of Fieldbus interfaces, connection to AFC 1500 is flexible.
  Available modular interfaces: Sink / Source 24VDC Discrete I/O, DeviceNet, Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, Profibus, InterBus-S, CC Link, Modbus Plus and more!
• Data Communication Interfaces:
  RS232C (COM1) Printer, PLC Data Output
  RS232C (COM2) Bar Code, ID System Input (For part ID data marriage)
  RS232C (COM3) Additional Output Port
  Optional Ethernet Connection
  Toolsnet Connectivity
• Motor / Tool Assembly
  The highly durable tool assembly includes a permanent magnet resolver motor with a field proven planetary gear transmission and high precision strain gage based torque transducer.  They are available in a wide range of configurations including; Straight, Offset, Right-Angle, "U" style and new, smaller, high speed versions.
• Tool ID Function:
  Micro-device Located in the torque transducer preamp for tool info, automatic tool ID & calibration.
• System Memory:
  Up to 16 sets of fastening parameters can be stored in Flash ROM for "on-the-fly" set-up changes.  Additionally, up to 10,000 cycles of fastening data is stored in each SAN3 controller.  No battery back-up of memory is required.
• Servo and Motor Protection Functions:
  Overcurrent, Overload, Abnormal Voltage, Abnormal Temperature, Short Circuit (cut cables), etc.
