SKF Programming Kit for use with CASM

Parameterize CASM with brushless DC motors with just a few clicks, using the SKF Drive Assistant (requires a Windows PC).

Automatic Mode
The automatic mode allows the creation of an autonomous positioning loop without any PLC. As soon as the automatic mode is activated (such as by a switch), the actuator moves from one position to the next one with its defined motion profile.

Autonomous loop, moving from one position to the next one, as long as the automatic mode is active
Selection of the positions to be taken in the loop by a mouse click
Activation of automatic mode such as by a switch

Typical Applications
Applications with actuators running autonomously, with no need to be coordinated with other actuators, like pumps, cutters, testing equipment etc

Simple
Move between two positions
Define one speed, acceleration and deceleration for both positions
Move-enable for safety functions

Typical Applications
Replacement of pneumatic cylinders
Tilt tray sorters, cutting machines, opening and closing hoods, clamping and fixturing, folding, stopping, labelling, etc

Standard
Move between six positions
Define one speed, acceleration and deceleration for each position
Move-enable for safety functions

Typical Applications
Conveyor sorters (diverters) of packaging machines, positioning functions, valve control systems, adjustable filling and portioning systems

Advanced
Move between 14 positions
Define individual speed, acceleration and deceleration for each position

Typical Applications
Electric presses, woodworking machines, handling applications, testing equipment, special applications where different speeds or plenty of positions are needed
