Page 11: Introduction
v 2.0 — March 2023 Altanium Servo Controller (ASC) Chapter 1 Introduction The Altanium Servo Controller (ASC) gives you accurate servo control of all linear and rotary mold movements for up to six axes. The ASC can be used as a standalone system, but also control up to 255 temperature zones and an UltraSync-E system.
Page 12: General Safety
Obey all warnings and instructions identified on the system. • Unless written in this manual or you receive special instructions from Husky, do not try to repair the system. Maintenance that is not approved could cause damage to the system, or serious personal injury.
Page 13: Safety Signs On The Equipment
This symbol shows an electrical hazard that will cause death or serious injury. Equipment Function The Husky Altanium Servo Controller (ASC) controls linear and rotary movement for up to six axes, one UltraSync-E, and up to 255 temperature zones. ASC configurations include: •...
Page 14: Restrictions Of Use
Parameter configurations and the operation of the mold servos, UltraSync-E, and temperature zones are done with a touch screen user interface. Contact a Husky Regional Service and Sales office if a Husky product is to be used for an operation other than for what it was made.
