Reliance confirms its exclusive European distribution and development rights for the Cool Muscle range of Integrated Motors. 50,000 pulses per revolution and servo jitter less than 0.1mRad gives the Reliance Cool Muscle the smooth movement needed for accurate laser positioning, whilst the onboard power management system only delivers the power required for the job in hand, ensuring cool running. The units have a maximum operating speed of 3,000 rpm.
Simple and compact, Cool Muscle integrates an encoder, sensor, motor, motion control and driver electronics. Utilising a vector drive with incorporated H infinity control, it provides a cost effective closed loop system.
The system’s H infinity control accommodates a wide range of load variation during motion, responding to dynamic loads across the entire speed range. This reduces the need to constantly tune gains, allowing higher inertia mis-matches and providing increased motion flexibility.
The fully closed loop system constantly monitors position whilst on board power management monitors and provides torque based on load, keeping the motor cooler than conventional stepper motors.
The unit’s versatile control interface with multiple input capability: Pulse (step & direction), Analogue (0 to 5v), Serial (RS232 & RS485) and PLC, provides an easily adaptable motion control solution. Units are RoHS compliant.
Compact daisy chain and multi-drop topologies can provide 16 and 255 drive networks respectively. Reliance offers full application support for integration into complete mechatronic solutions.
