Sysmac makes production sites "integrated" and "intelligent" by creating a variety of application functionalities with software. OMRON has delivered solutions to improve production processes by leveraging our expertise in advanced fine-tuning control that has been gained through the NJ/NX Series used for state-of-the-art large-scale equipment and next-generation equipment. The entry-level Machine Automation Controller NX1P allows these solutions to be applied to small and middle-sized production machines. In today's manufacturing environment, demand for the stable and efficient production of high-quality products is increasing because the trend toward high-mix low-volume production and optimally located production is accelerating on a global scale. In order to increase processing speed and accuracy and to use production data for predictive maintenance, equipment manufacturers need to add advanced and smart functionalities to small and middle-size production machines as well as state-of-the-art production equipment. To meet their needs, the NX1P provides both advanced motion control and a network environment for IoT at production sites, applying know-how in advanced fine-tuning control to small and middle-size machines. Features (1) Advanced motion control
(3) High-performance and easy-to-use all-in-one compact controller
(*1) Sysmac automation platform: OMRON's integrated automation platform is dedicated to providing complete control and management of an automation plant under one software. Programming based on global standards and global open networks allows for building the globally standardized system. At the core of this platform, the machine controller series offers synchronous control of all machine devices and advanced functionality such as motion, robotics and database connectivity. This multidisciplinary concept allows you to simplify solution architecture, reduce programming and optimize productivity. (*2) 30 times faster than the all-in-one compact PLC CP1H (compared with OMRON's previous model).
