Linear Motor

Ultra low speed and high positioning resolution (1/3072 pole pitch) are thus possible. A supplementary external high resolution encoder increases the performances.

 

Stepper Motor

The M101 is a high performance microstepping drive based on pure-sinusoidal current control technology developed by SwissELME. The driven motors can run with smaller noise, lower heating, smoother movement and have better performances at higher speed than most of the drives in the markets. It is suitable for driving 2-phase and 3-phase hybrid stepping motors.

Ultra low speed and very high positioning resolution (1/1024 of step) are thus possible, without creating vibration due to the resonance frequency of the motor. An external encoder allows to monitor the step lost. The optimized movement algorithm reduces a lot of vibration, especially at low speeds, and at the same time is possible to make fast movements (>10000 step/s).

 

Optimized performances

Setting rump-up and rump-down acceleration value, and maximal speed value, it is possible to modify the movement profile on the fly. Positioning with high resolution, including limit switches and zero referencing.

 

New HW technology

Power MOSFETs with minimal Rdson (on-resistance) allows high current without need of a supplementary heat sink.
High performance DSP controller.
