Rockwell Automation Introduces New Electronic Line Shaft Drive for the Newspaper Printing Industry

Rockwell 自動化為報紙印刷業引進新的電子動力軸驅動

New PowerFlex-based technology offers press production and printing accuracy

新的以 PowerFlex 為基礎的技術提供雜誌報紙出版和印刷的準確性

MILWAUKEE, March 30, 2006 — A new electronic line shaft solution using standard Allen Bradley PowerFlex 700S AC drives from Rockwell Automation helps reduce press downtime and helps the printing industry maximize automation investments. The system enables replacement of outdated mechanical line shafts and gear boxes in newspaper printing, web handling and other tension control applications by leveraging the precise positioning capabilities of the PowerFlex 700S AC drive.

密爾瓦基3月 30 日消息 - 使用來自 Rockwell 自動化的標準艾倫布拉德利（A-B）PowerFlex 700 S 交流驅動的新電子總軸解決方案幫助減少雜誌報紙停工時間

，而且幫助印刷業最大的自動化投資收益. 該係統代替了在報紙印刷、頁麵處理和其它牽力控製應用中舊式的機械動力軸以及傳動箱，利用PowerFlex 700S交流驅動支持精確的定位能力。

The electronic line shaft system offers the newspaper printers a fast, reliable method of maintaining speed and registration control of printing presses. Users can enjoy the benefits of shaftless drive control, including increased flexibility, improved power transmission and reduced downtime.

"Printers who are looking to upgrade or revamp their current control system will benefit from the flexibility and state-of-the-art performance of the PowerFlex 700S drive in an electronic line shaft configuration," said Gerry Niebler, print marketing manager, Rockwell Automation. "In addition to eliminating the costs of mechanical replacements and spare parts, the system provides precise positioning and synchronization for increased productivity."

羅克韋爾自動化打印市場經理Gerry Niebler說：“期待升級或者修補正在使用的控製係統的印刷工人將會受益於電子動力軸結構上的PowerFlex 700S驅動的靈活性和高超的性能。除了免除了機械替換和其他地方的費用，係統還提供了精確的定位，同時增加了生產力。”

With the electronic line shaft capability, users can reduce the mechanical complexity of their system by eliminating expensive rotating components like gears, shafts, clutches and couplings when transmitting power from line shaft motors to the press itself. This, combined with its open architecture and standard off-the-shelf products, helps provide improved usability and support over traditional line shaft drive control. The solution provides a simple retrofit option for adding units on an existing press and helps eliminate the need for expensive components.

利用電子動力軸的性能，用戶可以減少他們係統的複雜性，在動力軸把動力傳輸到印刷機的時候，免除了例如齒輪、軸杆、離li合he器qi和he耦ou合he等deng昂ang貴gui的de傳chuan動dong部bu件jian。結jie合he其qi開kai放fang式shi構gou架jia和he標biao準zhun原yuan料liao產chan品pin

Drive-to-drive synchronization may be achieved with SynchLink, a high performance, high speed, drive-to-drive fiber optic data link that transmits synchronized drive and application information for multiple drive synchronization. Designed to improve accuracy in printing applications, SynchLink facilitates the transmission of a speed and position reference to help ensure all drives are tightly synchronized, thereby allowing registration and compensation moves to be performed electronically (versus mechanically, on a printing press).

結合SynchLink可以實現驅動間同步。SynchLink是一種高性能
、高速度、驅動到驅動的光纖數據連接，為多驅動同步傳輸同步驅動和應用信息。SynchLink設計用於提高印刷應用的精確性，推動一個速度和定位參考的傳輸，以確保所有的驅動都緊密同步，這樣就允許注冊補償運動電子執行（相對與印刷機上的機械執行）。
