THE CLIPPER™
The Clipper ™ controller (Turbo PMAC2-Eth-Lite) from Delta Tau provides a very powerful, but compact and cost-effective, multi-axis controller designed for cost sensitive applications.
Careful design and manufacturing for optimization has brought the power of the world leading Turbo PMAC controller family to cost-sensitive applications that could never afford this level of performance before.
The Clipper ™is a full featured multi-axis controller with Ethernet and RS232 communication ports and built in I/O. It offers a full Turbo PMAC2-CPU and provides a minimum of four axes of servo or stepper control with 32-digital I/O points.
The Clipper ™ can be used completely standalone, with occasional commands from a host computer or PLC, or with real-time high-speed streaming of data over the Ethernet link. The Clipper ™ can supply the most demanding of applications at a fraction of the cost previously possible.
