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 (Multi Unit):
  RS232C (COM1) Printer, PLC Data Output
  RS232C (COM2) Bar Code, ID System Input (For part ID data marriage)
  RS232C (COM3) Additional Output Port
  Ethernet Port dedicated for AFC Software PC connection
  Optional Data Ethernet Connection
  QDAS & 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.
