KUKA MFC2 Multi-Functional Control Board

KUKA MFC2 Multi-Functional Control Board

Technical Specifications

Compatibility: Supports KUKA KRC2 and later controller generations.

Feedback Support: Compatible with resolvers, incremental encoders, and absolute encoders (e.g., Hiperface, EnDat, SFD-M).

Input/Output:

Input sensitivity: Adjustable (1.0mV/V, 2.0mV/V, 3.0mV/V).

Input impedance: ≥10 MΩ.

Sampling rate: 100 kHz for high-speed data acquisition.

Power Requirements:

Operates with 240V AC power supply (standard industrial voltage).

Environmental Resistance:

Designed for industrial settings with robust shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI).

Physical Attributes:

Silver-white color, compact form factor for cabinet or DIN rail mounting.

Key Features

High-Precision Control: Enables sub-micron positioning accuracy with low-latency feedback processing.

Multi-Axis Synchronization: Manages up to 8 axes simultaneously, critical for complex robotic tasks.

Flexible Feedback Integration: Supports a wide range of encoder types, eliminating the need for additional signal converters.

Real-Time Diagnostics: Built-in LED indicators for system status monitoring and error alerts.

Industrial-Grade Design: Metal enclosure ensures durability in harsh environments, with optional IP65 rating for dust/water resistance.

Functionality

MFC2

Motion Control: Regulates torque, velocity, and position loops for servo motors (e.g., KUKA AKM series).

Signal Conversion: Converts low-level encoder signals into digital data for the main controller.

Error Handling: Monitors overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature conditions to protect hardware.

Network Communication: Integrates with CANopen or optional EtherCAT for distributed control architectures.

Application Scenarios

Industrial Robotics: Powers joints and actuators in KUKA’s 6-axis robots (e.g., KR AGILUS series) for tasks like welding, material handling, and assembly.

CNC Machinery: Controls feed axes and spindles in machining centers, lathes, and milling machines.

Packaging Systems: Drives conveyor belts, sealing units, and labeling machines in high-speed packaging lines.

Semiconductor Manufacturing: Facilitates nanometer-level positioning in wafer handling and inspection equipment.

Automotive Testing: Manages test benches for engine, transmission, and chassis validation.

Medical Devices: Powers surgical robots and imaging systems requiring stable, precise motion.
