FeasyBeasy FL7 Series PLC
The FL7 series PLC is a small motion control PLC independently developed by FeasyBeasy, targeting complex mechanical automation and multi-axis motion control applications. It has built-in high-speed pulse input/output capabilities and supports multiple interpolation and electronic cam algorithms. Based on standard PLCopen motion control instructions and combined with the independent FSU platform, it can build a flexible and efficient motion control system.
Equipped with an engineering encryption mechanism, it fully protects intellectual property security. It also supports rapid conversion of multi-brand PLC projects, effectively reducing replacement costs. Adopting a blade-type structure design, it significantly saves installation space in electrical control cabinets, and is widely applicable to high-speed multi-axis synchronous control scenarios such as packaging, printing, robotics, and flying shear/following shear.
Automatic material arranging and packaging equipment has also become one of the highlights of this exhibition. Integrating machine vision and multi-axis collaborative technology, it can automatically sort, orient, and package irregular, multi-specification small parts (such as electronic connectors and hardware accessories). By adaptively adjusting material arranging speed and packaging film tension, it can increase the hourly material arranging and packaging efficiency to over 2000 pieces, with a stable packaging qualification rate of 99.9%, providing flexible solutions for small-batch and multi-variety production in industries such as 3C and automotive parts.
Drawing a New Blueprint for the Future of Intelligent Manufacturing
