Motion + Couplant.. at Last ! HARFANG is proud to introduce its first motor control unit. But since we wanted to make it nicer than other available products on the market, we’ve added a little extra. Indeed, we’ve bundled a pump for couplant. So many times are integrators dealing with a couplant pump as a separate item, the latter to be addressed at the end of the project...to finally discover it’s a hassle. The MP-1 is very good package deal: Fully integrated in UTStudio Variable speed couplant-on-demand Galil© standard interface What is the MP-1 ? The MP-1 is a motor and pump unit. It’s meant to drive the sequence and power to 1 or 2 motors. The motors can be DC brushless (default) or stepper (optional). The MP-1 also features an internal pump to feed liquid couplant to the search unit. The unit control is well integrated in our UTStudio-Pro software, but it can also be driven by third-party software using Galil commands. The unit can drive immersion tanks, scanners, robots, and other third-party scanners. Advantages of the MP-1 The MP-1 is a well integrated product that offers an amazing number of features: Precise positionning with PID feedback Enough motor power for most applications Rugged rackmount enclosure Front-panel manual controls Remotely controlable via Ethernet 10/100 Open to third-party using Galil© commands Seamless integration with UTStudio Couplant-on-time solution Technology The MP-1 unit can be controlled by a Ethernet 10/100 connection using TCP/IP, or using RS-232. UTStudio-Pro can drive the MP-1 as it’s nicely integrated in the user interface. But one can use the MP-1 in non-HARFANG systems, by using standard Galil© command interface. The MP-1 is a great new product we had fun to engineer. It proved excellent functionality with wheel scanners, from 5 to 125 mm/sec speed. The 2-axis 70W power interface can drive either DC servo motors, or stepper motors (option). And the user-selectable PID feedback values allow a precise positioning and speed of a wide variety of scanners. This unit can drive immersion tanks, robots, and other third-party scanners. Controls The MP-1 is a sleek 3U rackmount unit with front-panel manual controls for quick scanner positioning. The front panel of the MP-1 features the following: Axis 1 connector and buttons (+ / -) Axis 2 connector and buttons (+ / -) Panic button Couplant button Couplant speed knob Couplant input and output (quick-connect) UTStudio.htmlUTStudio.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1

Get the Control !

The powerful MP-1 unit, which can be remotely controlled via Ethernet, makes a perfect team with the UTStudio software. It offers both a 2-axis drive and a built-in pump to provide couplant. All of these features are accessible using the UTStudio software but also using the convenient manual controls on the front panel.
