I have a client who is creating a machine with a Delta RMC200 motion controller and has hired me to handle the programming aspect. Although I haven't previously worked with Delta Motion products, my background includes executing fairly intricate motion control projects using Allen Bradley and Mitsubishi systems. With over a decade of high-level programming experience under my belt, I am confident in my skills. Given the project's tight deadlines, I am contemplating enrolling in the live online training sessions offered by Delta. Has anyone in this community participated in this training, and would you recommend it, especially for someone with my level of expertise? Thank you, Jeremy
I could be mistaken, but I truly believe that the owner of that company is a highly regarded member of this community and possesses exceptional expertise. Even if he isn't the actual owner, he certainly stands out as "the go-to person." While I don't have personal experience with their products or know him on a personal level, I've been impressed by his contributions here and have heard positive feedback from locals in my area who have worked with them. I doubt you'll waste your time or money. Of course, it's always wise to wait for input from others, but I would be surprised if you receive any negative comments. I wouldn't be surprised if he shares his insights as well.
I recently attended two training sessions at their facility, and I must say that both the training and the instructor are exceptional. Based on feedback I received during my time there, the online training experience is nearly as impressive. It's definitely a worthwhile investment. The primary difference is that you will be participating remotely. During the sessions, you’ll be connected to a real controller as opposed to a simulator. The instructor has the capability to view your screen, providing a hands-on approach as if they were right beside you. Additionally, after the class, you can practice with a controller to further enhance your skills.
In 2016, I explored a system that utilized delta RMC. Peter kindly provided me with a comprehensive 20-minute overview through Skype, during which we discussed the project specifics (please note that this type of support may not be available for every new proposal). Regrettably, my client’s budget constraints prevented me from implementing the system. Their website is rich in content, featuring an online lab that you can access remotely to experiment with, along with a wealth of valuable information. With your expertise, I'm confident you'll quickly grasp the features and appreciate the functionalities offered.
You're in a unique situation, Jeremy. The basic training class might not be adequately challenging for you. I recommend skipping basic training at Delta. Instead, visit our website and download the startup guide and manual at http://deltamotion.com/education/. I suggest starting with the self-paced training to become acquainted with the software, and then progressing to the advanced training course at Delta. I’m confident you can get the RMC up and running without formal training, but the advanced course will equip you with valuable tips and tricks that can enhance your experience. If you're dealing with a straightforward application, you might not need those insights, but for more complex setups, like an RMC200, the advanced knowledge will be essential. It ultimately comes down to a choice: invest your time now or face challenges down the road.
I want to extend my gratitude to everyone, especially Peter. While a trip to Washington State may not be feasible at the moment, we’ll keep that option open for the future. In the meantime, I’m diving into the self-paced training to enhance my skills. I have ample time to focus on the programming aspects, but the real challenge will arise between completing the machine assembly and meeting the shipping deadline. To ensure that the testing phase runs smoothly, I'm prioritizing my preparations. The project revolves around developing a hydraulic coil bending machine, which will feature a total of eight axes. There will be some complex coordinated motion involved to achieve the desired final shape. In an ideal world based on Allen-Bradley systems, I plan to utilize a virtual master and position-based cams to synchronize the various axes, ensuring precise motion execution at the right times. Additionally, a unique challenge arises with a few axes designated for holding; during the forming process, these will be subject to positional shifts. Therefore, it's essential that they can be adjusted while maintaining consistent pressure on the coil to prevent excessive deformation. By optimizing these elements, I’m confident we can create an efficient and high-performing hydraulic coil bending machine.
Hi Jeremy! While I haven’t taken the Delta training myself, I’ve heard great things about it, especially for those who already have a solid programming background like you do. The sessions are often tailored to cover both basics and advanced features, which could help you get up to speed quickly with the RMC200. It might be a good investment, especially given your tight deadlines. Plus, the chance to ask questions in real-time can really help clear up any doubts while you’re diving into the specifics. Good luck with your project!
Hi Jeremy! I haven't personally taken the live online training with Delta, but I’ve heard from others that it’s quite beneficial, especially for those who are transitioning from other platforms. Given your extensive experience with motion control systems like Allen Bradley and Mitsubishi, I think you’ll find the training to be a great way to bridge any gaps and familiarize yourself with the Delta RMC200 specifics quickly. Plus, it could help you save time and avoid potential pitfalls down the line, especially with those tight deadlines. Best of luck with the project!
