4:29 5-Axis CNC Test: Flower Medallion (X CNC Library) X CNC Library runs a demanding 5-axis (X Y Z A C) test program on CODESYS Control RTE; the footage is from the web HMI path view, in real time. The program has 640 mm long lines, R40 arcs and 45° chamfers, arches in the XZ and YZ planes, a wave fringe where the tool tilt (A) follows the slope, a diamond zigzag down to 0.6 mm pitch and a wavy ring of 0.1 mm micro segments. 1:09 Onx CNC RTCP: 5-Axis Tool Center Point Control (X CNC Library) RTCP (tool center point control) with X CNC Library and the Onx CNC web HMI, live on CODESYS Control RTE. M140 in the program switches RTCP on; X Y Z then describe the tool tip instead of the head, and F is the tip speed. While the A/C head rotates, the controller corrects X Y Z and keeps the tool tip on the programmed path. In the video: the tip stays still during an orientation-only move (A 30°, C 360°), a straight line while the tool tilts and an arc (G2) with a tilted tool, a G0 with changing orientation and a 3+2 (A −45°) plunge, a straight line while C turns 180°, and the return to machine coordinates with M141. 1 ms interpolation, look-ahead and jerk-limited planning; virtual axes, A/C fork head, pivot to tip 150 mm. 2:05 Onx CNC Web HMI: 5-Axis Turbine, 139,882 Lines of G-code A live run of a 139,882-line 5-axis (X Y Z A C) turbine rosette program on CODESYS Control RTE with X CNC Library and the Onx CNC web HMI. In the video: starting the job with one click and the live job status, the real-time 3D path view (program, executed part, command and actual path), the tool axis from A/C, override while running with path velocity, acceleration and jerk charts, colouring the path by C axis or F, 1 ms live trace, the built-in G-code editor and the axis min/max limits over the job. 1 ms interpolation, look-ahead planning, virtual axes. 0:36 17-Axis Servo Cake Packaging Line: Smart Belt and Lug Chain A 17-axis servo cake packaging line automated by ONX Control, in 36 seconds. Randomly spaced cakes are buffered on an accumulation belt; the smart belt detects every product with a photo-eye, gaps it and puts it in phase with the packaging machine's master axis. A lug chain transfers the cakes to the horizontal flow wrapper in sync; print registration is corrected on every pack and the rotary jaws seal and cut. The operator panel shows a machine speed of more than 600 packs per minute. 0:33 Automatic Pocket Setter: X-Y Servo Sewing and Mould Folding A bathrobe pocket on an automatic pocket setter: the operator places the pocket on the mould, the mould folds it and carries it to the panel, the sewing head follows the stitch path with X-Y servo axes in sync with the needle, and the finished part is stacked automatically. Control runs on CODESYS on an industrial PC, with Estun ED3L EtherCAT servo drives on the X-Y axes and Crevis I/O for folding and stacking. 3:27 Kangaroo Pocket Setter: CODESYS CNC Control and Thickness Algorithm Custom kangaroo pocket machine automation: CNC-controlled motion, a thickness control algorithm and synchronised motion for repeatable production. Control is based on CODESYS. 0:34 CNC Router Control System: Furniture Panels, Composites and MDF Field footage from CNC routers controlled by ONX Control: MDF and furniture panel cutting, composite contours and hinge holes. G-code and look-ahead velocity planning run on X CNC Library, control on CODESYS Control RTE on an industrial PC, and the axes on EtherCAT servo drives. 0:36 Tissue Converting Line: Non-Stop Rewinder, Log Saw and Core Maker (Kenya) Field footage from Kenya of a tissue (toilet and kitchen towel) converting line controlled by ONX Control: parent roll unwinder, servo perforation, change to a new core on the non-stop rewinder, core maker and log accumulator. Control runs on CODESYS; the tear moment is calculated from sheet count and perforation angle, so the paper tears at the perforation line every time. 2:56 17-Axis Cake Packaging Line Field footage of ONX Control's 17-axis cake packaging line. Products are fed to the horizontal packaging machine in phase by a smart belt and a lug chain. 1:25 Double-Head Flying Saw Field footage of a double-head flying saw application: the saw carriage cuts in sync with the speed of a tube and profile line without stopping it. 0:52 Double-Head Flying Shear Control (CODESYS SoftMotion CNC) Control of a double-head flying shear with CODESYS SoftMotion CNC: the cutting carriage synchronizes to line speed with an electronic cam. 0:40 Rotary Knife Automation: Servo Synchronization An ONX Control application where a rotary knife cuts running material in servo synchronization. 0:39 Rotary Shear Control: CODESYS RTE and EtherCAT An ONX Control application where rotary shear control is synchronized with CODESYS Control RTE and EtherCAT. 0:30 Rotary Knife 15 mm: Dual-Motor CODESYS RTE and EtherCAT Application A dual-motor rotary knife application, controlled with CODESYS Control RTE and EtherCAT. 1:30 Tension-Controlled Winder Application Field footage of a tension-controlled winder application. 0:14 CNC Router: CODESYS SoftMotion CNC Based Control Control of a CNC router based on CODESYS SoftMotion CNC. 2:40 3-Axis CNC Router: CODESYS SoftMotion CNC Application Control of a 3-axis CNC router with CODESYS SoftMotion CNC. 0:49 Fully Automatic Tube Bending Machine: CODESYS Based Control Field footage of a fully automatic tube bending machine running on a CODESYS based control system. 0:37 Four-Corner Welding, Robot and Cleaning Line Field footage of a four-corner welding, robot and cleaning line application. 1:04 Thermoform Packaging Machine Field footage of a thermoform packaging machine application. 1:22 High-Speed Bottle Filling Machine Automation Field footage of the automation of a high-speed bottle filling machine. 1:57 PLC Programming Basics with CODESYS The first part of a training series on the basics of PLC programming with CODESYS. 1:55 ONX Control Company Introduction: PC-Based Automation, Servo and Motion Control ONX Control's PC-based automation, servo and motion control for machine builders since 2013, in two minutes. Every machine in the video is a real field application: flying shear, rotary knife and tube bending lines, packaging and food, cable extrusion and textile, tissue converting, CNC routers and window machines.
