Control card in an industrial housing
Installing control electronics in laser processing machines
Scanlab, manufacturer of laser scanning systems, simplifies the installation of the RTC6 control electronics in laser processing machines.
With the new RTC6-EtherBox, Scanlab offers the control card in an industrial-grade housing. This means it can be installed in a control cabinet in just a few simple steps. All connections, including the Ethernet connection, are conveniently located on the front of the box. The RTC6 EtherBox can also be used in 'stand-alone mode', for example to run pre-recorded laser jobs without an additional PC.
Standards, standardized components and uniform mounting systems simplify everyday operations and the construction of complex machines. With the practical RTC6 EtherBox, Scanlab turns the control electronics of laser processing systems into an easy-to-integrate "click-in system". The handy box with a high-quality, powder-coated aluminum housing can be mounted on a standard DIN rail in a control cabinet in a matter of seconds. Additional rubber feet ensure a secure stand even when used free-standing.
The RTC6 EtherBox has active air cooling to guarantee smooth operation 24/7. All electrical connections such as scan head connection (SL2-100), laser control, PC connection via Ethernet, power supply as well as analog and digital inputs and outputs are easily accessible from the outside of the portable housing.
Plus for users: autonomous use
There are numerous fields of use and applications for the compact box. The RTC6 Ethernet card included in the housing has stand-alone functionality as standard. Thanks to this, a pre-programmed laser job can be started at any time, for example by a light barrier or an alternative, external signal.
Its use as a stand-alone controller offers particular advantages for laser processes with high throughput, low complexity and hardly any changes, such as display cutting, identical laser markings or laser cleaning. The RTC6 Ethernet card works independently and decoupled from a PC, thus saving costs in the system setup.
