Delta's New Multi-Channel CNC Controller NC5 Series at TIMTOS x TMTS 2022

Delta, a global manufacturer of power management, thermal solutions and automation, announced today that it will debut at the TIMTOS x TMTS 2022 tool and machine exhibition from 21 to 26 February with the theme of ‘Cloud Connectivity for Smart Manufacturing’ to open up the future of smart machining. The future of intelligent machining. Observing the trend of intelligent manufacturing in the machine tool industry, Delta is taking advantage of its industrial control products that cover both hardware and software, and integrating intelligent technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, the Cyber-physical System (CPS), and lean management in the ‘Intelligent Machining Solutions x Networked Devices’ exhibition area, creating a one-stop shop with CNC intelligent production lines, which can be used for the production of CNC machines. Delta's ‘Smart Machining Solution x Equipment Networking’ is a one-stop shop for intelligent machining solutions with CNC intelligent production line architecture, from equipment and edge data collection to monitoring and analysing systems, empowering equipment with intelligent capabilities. In addition, with over 10 years of experience in the machine tool industry and customer feedback, Delta has developed a new high-performance general-purpose solution with upgraded computing power, independently integrated multi-axis and multi-channel and RTCP (Rotation Tool Centre Point) functions, to meet the growing demand for advanced machining with high precision and high speed, multi-tasking, and 5-axis machining. The new high performance general-purpose CNC controllers NC5 series, with upgraded computing power, multi-axis, multi-channel and RTCP (Rotation Tool Centre Point) functions, made their debut at TIMTOS x TMTS 2022 in Delta's ‘CNC Industry Applications x Related Applications’ exhibition area. On the other hand, Delta also joined hands with Danamac Corporation (Danamac), AUO Group-Shengjie Industrial Corporation (Shengjie), and AUO Group-Zhongcheng Technology Corporation (Zongcheng) in the ‘Intelligent Machines’ exhibition area to display dynamic machines equipped with Delta's solutions, which will help visitors experience the intelligent upgrading of the machining industry. The company's dynamic machine tools equipped with Delta's solutions were on display.

Liu Chia-Yung, General Manager of Delta's Mechatronics Business Group, said, ‘CNC control systems are one of the key cores of precision manufacturing. In recent years, along with the rise of the concept of intelligent manufacturing, the machine tool industry has also been focusing its attention on intelligent machinery, leading to the networking of equipment as a general trend. Delta Industrial Automation has responded to the industry's pulse with real and virtual integration, connecting ground-based equipment and cloud-based systems in one stop, and launching the new NC5 series of CNC controllers, which can realise high-precision, high-speed and simultaneous machining of multiple workstations in a single machine, to provide a complete layout of product solutions and help machine tool industry customers seize the huge business opportunities in smart manufacturing.’

Figure 2 TIMTOS x TMTS 2022 attracted many visitors to Delta's booth on the first day of the event, exploring more intelligent capabilities to seize the huge business opportunities in smart manufacturing.

During TIMTOS x TMTS 2022. guests can take a look at the new NC5 series of CNC controllers, which made its public debut in Delta's ‘CNC Industry Applications x Related Applications’ section. As a new generation of Delta's CNC controllers, the NC5 series has a significantly upgraded hardware architecture and computing power compared with its predecessor, enabling users to achieve high-precision, high-performance, and high-capacity manufacturing. The NC5 series is a new generation of Delta's CNC controllers, which is significantly upgraded in hardware architecture and computing power compared to its predecessor, enabling users to achieve high-precision, high-speed, and high-finish surface machining to meet key quality indicators. In addition, the NC5 series has the ability to control both machining and vertical multi-joint robots, and can be used for 5-axis machining through the RTCP function of rotary tool tip control. In addition, the NC5 series also has excellent expansion flexibility, with built-in dual Ethernet and RS485 interfaces and support for a variety of communication protocols, and the provision of API libraries to take into account both internal and external network applications, and can be integrated or interfaced with intelligent production line platforms. The API library is also provided for both internal and external network applications, and can be integrated or interfaced with intelligent production line platforms. In addition, Delta will also showcase a wide range of industry applications such as lathe, woodworking, aluminium profile processing, and multi-station simultaneous machining of turning, milling, drilling, and picking in this exhibition area.
