The CFD Controller is a compact and high-performance robot controller specifically tailored for MZ series robots. It is characterized by its small size, powerful functionality, and user-friendly operation, and is widely used in universities, research laboratories, and various industrial automation scenarios.
Controls 6 axes as standard, expandable to a maximum of 7 axes. The additional axis supports a motor with a capacity of up to 400W to meet flexible motion configurations.
Stores up to 9,999 programs with a 256MB memory capacity (equivalent to 2,560,000 steps), supporting complex programming requirements.
Eliminates the need for an external control cabinet. The built-in software PLC directly controls peripheral equipment to reduce deployment costs.
Choose between the Smart TP (5.7-inch color LCD touch panel) and the Compact TP (monochrome display, 20 characters × 4 lines). Both feature emergency stops, 3-position enable switches, and a 4m cable.
Supported by FD on Desk Light tool for offline programming, cycle time simulation, PLC ladder editing, operation training, and layout investigation.
Supports vision sensors (NV-Pro), force sensors, and robot monitoring units (RMU). Compatible with DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, and PROFINET fieldbuses.
Complies with PLd Category-3 safety standards, matching American and European specifications. Equipped with external emergency stop and safety plug interfaces.
Compact design allows installation inside the robot riser to save workspace. Features a USB port for quick backups to prevent data loss.
