Delta Motion RMC controllers for industrial motion control

Industrial applications often require precise control over position, speed, pressure, and force. When multiple axes of motion need to work together, selecting the right motion controller can make a significant difference in system performance and integration.

Delta Motion develops high-performance motion controllers and industrial controls designed to support a wide range of automation applications. Its RMC motion controller family offers flexible control options for hydraulic and electric systems, helping manufacturers address complex motion requirements across new equipment designs and existing installations.

What Are Delta Motion RMC Controllers?

Delta Motion's RMC series is designed for high-performance motion control, with capabilities that include closed-loop position, velocity, and pressure/force control. These controllers can also provide dual-loop control of position and pressure or force, making them suitable for applications that require multiple types of feedback.

The product family offers options for different system sizes, from compact applications requiring one or two axes to larger systems coordinating up to 50 axes of synchronized motion.

Key Benefits of Delta Motion Controllers

Synchronized Multi-Axis Control

Coordinating multiple axes is essential in applications where several movements must work together. Delta Motion RMC controllers can synchronize between two and 50 axes of electric or hydraulic motion, depending on the controller selected.

This capability supports applications that require coordinated movement and precise control across multiple actuators.

Flexible Feedback and Integration

Industrial systems can use different transducers and feedback devices depending on the equipment and application. Delta Motion controllers are designed to work with a variety of feedback devices and communicate with other systems, supporting integration into both new and retrofit applications.

This flexibility can help simplify the process of incorporating motion control into existing equipment or developing new automation systems.

Closed-Loop Control for Greater Precision

RMC controllers support closed-loop position, velocity, and pressure/force control. They also offer dual-loop position-pressure/force control for applications where both position and force-related requirements must be managed.

These capabilities provide engineers with options for addressing demanding motion control requirements across a variety of industrial processes.
