Description

Ball Screw Positioning System Training for PLCs

Bring Industrial Motion Control Into the Classroom

The Electro-Mechanical Ball Screw PLC Training Application is a self-contained, suitcase-style PLC training application designed to simulate linear motion using a servo-driven ball screw and integrated position sensing. Compact yet powerful, it brings real-world electro-mechanical automation into your lab, classroom, or training program.

Ideal for expanding basic PLC programming into more advanced topics like servo control, position feedback, and motion sequencing, this unit is plug-and-play compatible with Toolkit’s PLC Trainers including the SMC PCT-200 for Allen Bradley, Siemens, Omron, Mitsubishi, etc.
