A lightweight solution for greater efficiency
Some technologically advanced applications require the motorisation of a head on which different tools can be applied.
As the motorisation is integrated in the head, one risk that can be encountered in this type of application is the use of a device that is too heavy, which could reduce stability and cause the motor to lose its position. In these cases, it is therefore important to keep the weight as low as possible, in order to improve stability and movement dynamics, without compromising the accuracy of positioning.
How can this risk be avoided?
After specific tests, we propose a solution consisting of a high efficiency 2-step hybrid Nema 17 stepper motor with integrated gearbox and its fieldbus programmable vector drive.
The motor size is a significant weight minimiser; the integrated gearbox, in the absence of power supply, allows even higher torque to be delivered than larger motors (Nema 23 and Nema 24) and easily manages system inertia by avoiding any vibration.
The use of this type of solution indeed shows an engine stability beyond expectations, even in stationary conditions.
Benefits of our solution
This type of motion control solution results in:
- Reduced weight and increased stability
- Fluent movement at low speeds
- Cost savings
- Efficiency and reliability
This solution can support any application such as marking lasers, touch probes and vision systems, which are essential for the automation of production processes.
