Features & Benefits:

  • PC-based flexible automation control
  • Doesn’t require traditional programming but instead is oriented towards a manufacturing process centric approach to machine control
  • Integrated platform for machine vision motion control, user interface, and machine overall sequencing makes systems development and debug fast and easy
  • Open architecture, supporting a wide range of motion control and machine vision hardware from different suppliers
  • Up to four levels of configurable password authorized access to control and user interface functions
  • Integrated process control simulation engine for off-line development/debug and training of production staff
  • Extensive debugging and data logging features
  • Remote access for service and maintenance support via the web

FlexAuto allows users with password privilege to define and change process recipes and sequences based on their inherent understanding of manufacturing processes but without specific training in programming. This greatly simplifies and speeds up the implementation of new products at for both R&D and production ramp up. The open architecture design of FlexAuto also allows flexible automation equipment to be designed and deployed using the optimal mix of motion stages and actuators, cameras, sensors, and other instrumentation to meet the specific needs of a given application.
