Who is the Galil Motion Control rep for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia?
EAC (Engineered Automation Components), based in North Wales, PA, represents Galil Motion Control in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
When should I use Galil instead of a CNC control?
When the machine needs coordinated, CNC-style motion but isn't a machine tool, such as laser, water jet or routing machines. Galil gives true contouring under the builder's own interface, without the cost and constraints of a full CNC.
When is a PLC not enough?
When the application needs real contouring, path following or coordinated interpolation across axes, rather than indexed or point-to-point moves.
How many axes can a Galil controller handle?
Up to 8 local axes on the DMC-4000 and DMC-4103, and up to 32 EtherCAT axes on the DMC-52000.
Does Galil support EtherCAT?
Yes. The DMC-52000 and DMC-50000 are EtherCAT masters, and Galil also offers EtherCAT drives and remote I/O.
What motors can Galil control?
Steppers and brushed and brushless servos, plus voice coil, piezo, galvanometer and hydraulic actuators.
Can EAC supply drives and motors with the controller?
Yes. EAC represents AMC servo drives and servo motor lines, so the complete axis can be specified together.
