Introduction; Description And Operation - Simco CMM Easy Notice D'utilisation

1 Introduction

The CMM Easy is a high-voltage generator that supplies power to charging electrodes in IML
applications. The CMM Easy is designed to generate short charge pulses. The output voltage is
current-limited.
The small dimensions and low weight of the generator enable it to be placed close to the
charging electrode. The generator can be used as an end-of-arm tool on IML robots. The
replaceable head on the generator allows users to quickly change charging electrodes. The
electrode head on the generator is part of the charging electrode and is not supplied as
standard.
The CMM Easy is powered and controlled by an M12 connector.
The CMM can be controlled directly via the M12 connector or by using the CMM external control
kit. The external control kit is a separate module that can be placed elsewhere in the machine
and offers a range of options for providing a setpoint for the output voltage. See the CMM
external control kit manual for more information.

2 Description and operation

The built-in electronic high-voltage power unit operates at 24 V DC and delivers a negative
output voltage of between 0 and 18 kV DC. The level of the output voltage is set with an
external control current signal of between 4 and 20 mA (setpoint).
The high voltage becomes active when 24 V DC is applied to the "Remote On/Off" input. The
unique "Cycle OK" output produces a 24 V signal when high voltage is present and the label in
the mould is fully charged. When the "Remote On/Off" input is then switched off, the "Cycle OK"
output will indicate when the charge of the electrode has been reduced to zero and the
electrode can be removed from the mould.
Two LEDs on the generator (on the same side as the M12 connector) indicate the status of the
CMM Easy.
