Product Description

Description

Designed for high-performance multi-axis synchronization, the Mitsubishi Electric Q173CPU is a dedicated motion CPU module operating within the MELSEC-Q Series automation platform. This controller enables precise control of up to 32 axes, integrating seamlessly with main PLC CPUs on the same backplane to deliver high-speed, high-accuracy motion operations. Running specialized motion SFC (Sequential Function Chart) programming, it manages complex electronic gear, cam, and interpolation profiles. The unit comes equipped with an integrated cooling fan to ensure robust thermal regulation during continuous industrial operation.

Features

  • Controls up to 32 independent or fully synchronized axes.
  • Seamless multi-CPU system support, allowing direct high-speed bus communication with MELSEC-Q PLC CPUs.
  • Integrated cooling fan unit to optimize heat dissipation inside the control panel.
  • Low current draw of 1.75 A from the 5 VDC system rack power supply.
  • Supports advanced motion profiles, including circular interpolation, linear interpolation, and mechanical system simulation.

Applications

  • High-speed packaging machinery and automated bottling lines.
  • Multi-axis Cartesian gantries and robotic pick-and-place systems.
  • Metal forming, stamping, and automated printing presses.
  • Semiconductor manufacturing and precision assembly equipment.
