Product Description:

The CLM1.3-LA1-04VRS-MS axis positioning control module is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the CLM Axis Positioning Control Modules series. It is an Indramat position control unit intended to coordinate servo drives and feedback devices in automated production lines. By interpreting stored motion programs, the module issues precise length and velocity commands that synchronize material feeds, cutting heads, or tooling slides and support repeatable motion in high-volume manufacturing tasks.

This controller can drive up to 4 axes at once, letting a single rack manage multi-station cells. Internal logic is powered from a 24 VDC control supply that also serves the 20-key membrane keypad next to the 4 × 16 LCD display. Feed commands are calculated with a resolution of 0.01 mm, supporting positioning accuracy to one hundredth of a millimeter in cut-to-length or punch operations. Firmware and user macros reside in an EPROM bank of 256 KB, while production routines occupy a program space that accepts up to 3,000 blocks. Standard field wiring enters through 48 inputs and 37 outputs, allowing direct connection of limit switches, valves, and starter coils without auxiliary interface boards.

A Motorola 68000 microprocessor executes numeric calculations, backed by 128 KB of battery-buffered RAM that preserves variable data during power loss. The optional expansion bus lifts capacity to 88 inputs and 51 outputs, so additional sensors or actuators can be integrated as a machine grows. Cabinet mounting is supported by dimensions of 105 mm in width, 390 mm in height, and 325 mm in depth, which fit shallow enclosures. The housing has an IP10 rating, meaning it provides finger-safe openings but no sealing against dust or fluids, so the unit must be installed inside a clean electrical cabinet. The delivered software image is the standard two-axis package, allowing unused channels to be disabled while synchronous control logic remains available on active channels.
