CK3M Programmable Multi-Axis Motion Controller
Our next-generation motion controller packs PMAC’s superior motion control capability, multi-vendor connectivity and flexible development capability into its compact design.
Motion control to handle the most precise and high speed applications
Omron offers a very complete line of motion products. Leading with innovative designs that help create some of the most precise machines in manufacturing, they still are flexible enough to use in any application. Whether looking for a complete solution of wanting to connect to other specializes motion products Omron has a controller that can work for the application.
Advanced Motion Controllers (PMAC)
PMAC Controllers are a family of high-performance motion control systems used in a wide range of applications, including machine tooling, semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, and scientific research.
PMAC Axis and Feedback Modules
PMAC's wide selection of axis and feedback modules are designed to work with most feedback devices and connect to different types of high precision servo drives.
PMAC Input/Output (IO) Modules
PMAC Input/ output (I/O) modules offer a wide range of analog or digital IO including AC, DC, TTL and analog.
PMAC Accessories Modules
Power supplies, expansion modules and other accessories for the PMAC motion controllers.
All-in-one PMAC Brick
Brick PMAC's combine a PMAC controller with either 4 or 8 servo drives in one package used in industrial automation and semiconductor manufacturing.
PMAC Controller Software
PMAC Software for programming, configuration and visualization for the PMAC family of motion controllers.
Maximizing Throughput with PMAC Lookahead Feature
Manufacturers are always looking to keep efficiencies as high as possible. This normally includes maintaining the maximum production capabilities of the machine while still producing a high-quality product. One of the ways to achieve the highest throughput is to use a PMAC motion controller and a feature called Lookahead. This white paper explores this feature in detail and offers some examples of solutions that use it.
Quick Answers
Learn more about Omron motion and drives
PMAC stands for programmable multiaxis motion controller. They are the motion control family of products at Omron.
PMAC's range of motion are from the simplest move to the more advanced motion, including camming, multi-axis, coordinated, customer kinematics and much more.
Yes, the PMAC is designed for flexibility. There are axis, feedback and IO modules that will work with most types of specialized and even custom components.
A motion control system contains the motion profiles and target positions for the application and creates the trajectories for the motor and/or actuator. Motion control often utilizes monitoring, or "feedback", devices to maintain the position of the motor and its load. It can also use the feedback to correct the position to maintain any possible errors that may occur.
Flexible and affordable motion control for specialty manufacturers
Small manufacturers have often avoided machine control because they considered the technology too complex. While some products do, in fact, require the combined efforts of a team of programmers, read how Omron helped two specialty manufacturers tackle cost and production challenges.
