Overview

The WEISS TS004E Control Card, paired with the TS004K2 terminal, is a specialized electronic motion controller for rotary indexing tables (TC series) and rotary indexing rings (TR series). It provides precise, repeatable positioning control, motor management, and brake optimization. The card supports both autonomous operation and integration with a master PLC, making it ideal for high-speed assembly, packaging, and transfer systems. Its built-in cycle optimization and intelligent brake control extend mechanical component life while ensuring efficient motion control.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Assembly Machines: Precisely indexes multi-station platforms like Pick-o-Mat systems for rapid, accurate component placement.

• Packaging & Filling Lines: Controls rotary indexing rings for moving bottles, containers, or products between filling, capping, and labeling stations.

• Welding & Inspection Automation: Positions parts quickly for robotic welding, laser cutting, or high-resolution camera inspection.

• Handling & Transfer Systems: Integrates rotary indexing tables into production lines, ensuring smooth transfer of workpieces between processes.

Additional Benefit: Front-side operating elements simplify setup and commissioning, reducing startup time.

FAQ

Q1: Difference between TS004E and TS005 Indexer Module?
A1: TS004E is cost-effective, focusing on core features like cycle optimization and brake wear reduction. TS005 offers expanded functionality for more complex indexing applications, though both work with WEISS TC/TR systems.

Q2: Can TS004E/TS004K2 operate without a PLC?
A2: Yes, it supports autonomous operation using internal logic and position cams. PLC integration is optional for coordinated process control.

Q3: How does TS004E reduce brake wear?
A3: The card precisely controls acceleration and deceleration profiles, minimizing mechanical stress and heat on the brake, prolonging service life.
