Linear actuators

Some handling and/or processing devices require a very simple type of drive technology. From the process side, it is of secondary importance whether the drive is operated with a pneumatic/hydraulic cylinder or a miniature servomotor with spindle, for example. The requirement of the application is a constant linear movement with a base position and a working position.

The TwinCAT 3 Plastic Technology Functions offer a simplified variant of the type FB_AxisBase for this purpose: FB_MotionBase. Based on this motion class, simple linear movements can be programmed for both axes and digital actuators. The digital actuators can be instantiated in a project via the FB_ActuatorBase class.
