2 to 32 Axis Stepper/Servo Controllers:
ISA, PCI and Stand-Alone

Delta Tau delivers motion control for mid- to high volume multi-axis motion control systems that demand a cost-effective and compact, yet flexible and reliable solution.

Delta Tau Data Systems makes the most powerful, most versatile and, if you measure cost in terms of throughput, the most cost effective motion controllers in the world today. From grinding the corrective lenses for the Hubble Deep Space Telescope with sub-nanometer resolution, to moving the 90% full scale replica of the Titanic for the blockbuster movie, to operating the world's fastest pick-and-place machines, to the more commonplace application of precision motion control in machine tools, assembly lines and process production lines, Delta Tau motion controllers are hard at work improving quality, increasing productivity and lowering costs per part. In fact, with over 100,000 motion controller installations worldwide, Delta Tau products play an important role in virtually every day life.

The PMAC Motion Controller

PMAC, pronounced “Pe'-MAC”, stands for Programmable Multi-
Axis Controller. It is a family of high-performance servo motion controllers capable of commanding up to 32 axes of motion simultaneously with a high level of sophistication. PMAC is provided with several bus formats, different number of axes and with the appropriate amplifier command signals for virtually any kind of motion control application. The following is a partial list of the PMAC family main features. Some features require the addition of options and external accessory boards. Many diverse interchangeable and built-in CPU boards are also available to provide a huge dynamic range for the PMAC. PMAC motion programs and PLC programs are the same for any PMAC model; the only programming feature that changes between the models is the configuration setup for each particular board more...

The UMAC Motion Controller

The UMAC (Universal Motion and Automation Controller) is a modular Turbo PMAC2 system built with a set of 3U-format Eurocards. The configuration of any UMAC system begins with the selection of the PMAC CPU for stand-alone operation or MACRO CPU with fiber optic interface in a high speed MACRO optical ring. Itcontinues with the addition of the necessary axes boards, which can be either direct PWM output or the classic +/- 10V, I/O boards,field bus boards, communication interfaces (USB2, Ethernet, etc.) and any other interface boards selected from the rich variety of available accessories. Accessory boards allow, for example, to connect with virtually any kind of feedback sensor or to implement almost any kind of communication method with the host computer or external devices. In addition, a PC/104 computer can be installed inside the UMAC system yielding an incredibly powerful system inside a compact industrial package more...
