Application examples
Edge processing
In this example, the movement of boards through a machine is controlled by fixed guides
and clamping brackets. The sides of the boards are machined as they pass by a group of
actuated cutters.

The technology of the terminal modules includes:
● Exact encoder value measurements
● Exact edge acquisition
● Exact output of switching signals
As a result, applications with increased line speed are possible.
The switching conditions specific to each type of board are stored in a central controller.
Depending on the exact position of the board (relative to its detected rising edge), the
individual cutters are engaged and disengaged. The switching signal control relative to the
detected edge is critical since cutting accuracy is directly dependent upon precise switching.
