Leading automation solutions provider Omron Automation has expanded the Programmable Multi-Axis Controllers (PMAC) portfolio. The products are primarily designed to facilitate ease of use. Accordingly, the PMAC platform encompasses a range of form factors that enable seamless integration into specialized machinery. A few of the key additions made to the PMAC platform are the CK5M, CK3M Laser Module, CK3C, and CK3A.

Specifically, the CK5M is a next-generation motion controller series that packs the superior motion control capability of PMAC into a compact design.

Meanwhile, the CK3M Laser Module – minimizes laser ON/OFF commissioning time by balancing high throughput and high-quality laser processing. The CK3WLSR enables a wide variety of applications requiring both speed and accuracy.

For its part, CK3C is a compact industrial motion and automation controller encompassing full capabilities of PMAC. It features optional extended pins. These provide maximum flexibility for OEM embedded design, high-speed interface to third-party devices, and custom connect ability.

Lastly, the CK3A Series direct digital pulse width modulation (PWM) amplifiers provide a powerful solution for industrial linear and servo motor applications that require high precision and velocity.

Generally, the PMAC platform delivers a comprehensive motion solution that tackles the most challenging machine configurations. This innovative solution provides OEMs with flexibility, higher accuracy, and higher throughput to obtain the best machine performance.

Moreover, various manufacturers adopt the PMAC platform in industries like such as semiconductor, electronics, automotive, and machine tooling. Specifically, common applications include specialized numerical control (NC), additive and subtractive manufacturing.

By offering this diverse lineup, Omron ensures that machine builders have the flexibility and adaptability necessary to address the unique requirements of each application.
