The Revolution X (RX) joining system comprises the UFM RX joining mechanism with a force range of 0.2 to 1,000 kN, the RX controller, the RX software, the PDM-S RX digital preamplifier, the power amplifier, and corresponding accessories. The core of the new system is the new RX controller for parallel control of up to four mechanisms and 16 sensors. With a measuring frequency of 2 kHz, assembly processes, as well as measurement and testing tasks, can be precisely controlled and monitored. Faster program loading times and faster processing of process data reduce cycle times. Data evaluation takes place directly in the RX controller. Up to 1,001 programs and 100,000 process curves can be stored directly in the controller. Transfer to the higher-level PLC is faster than before thanks to the use of the high-performance real-time Ethernet bus system.
The new RX software offers a new, integrated concept with sophisticated user guidance for intuitive operation via a web interface. A clear dashboard ensures clear structures and enables the user to immediately start their process. PLC knowledge is not required to create the joining program. During program creation, the user is supported by input validation and integrated online help. Operation via the web interface offers flexible access to the joining system, regardless of time, location, operating system, or (mobile) device. The days when the software had to be installed on a local computer are a thing of the past. Immediate availability via the web browser accelerates both commissioning and the installation of updates, maintenance, and service.
