Controllers: NX100

The  NX100 controller features a Windows® CE teach pendant with colour touch screen, high-speed processing, unmatched memory (60,000 steps, 10,000 instructions), and a robust PC architecture. For communication with existing networks there is built-in Ethernet, web server options and Fieldbus support for the 15 most common brands on the market.

The NX100 easily handles multiple tasks, with unmatched ability of real time synchronisation of up to four robots and external axes (up to 36 axes, including robots and external axes), and I/O devices. Advanced Robot Motion (ARM) control provides high-performance path accuracy and vibration control. In addition, the NX100 features best-in-class path planning that dramatically reduces teaching time.

The teach pendant features a unique cross-shaped navigation cursor that reduces teaching time by 30 percent. It has full-colour touch-screen display and a convenient Compact Flash slot for easy memory back-ups. Most operator controls are located on the pendant, allowing the control cabinet to be mounted remotely.
