Adaptable motion control system uses standard kit
SoftMotion is a new approach to motion control, allowing OEMs to easily adapt a motion control system to their specific needs.
"Nyquist was looking for an experienced low-power digital servo amplifier partner, manufacturing ever smaller, integrated and maintenance-free products that are also competitively priced", says Twan Smetsers, Marketing Director of Nyquist.
"With Maxon Motor as a competent system provider we can offer our semiconductor and electronics OEM-customers the design-in solution they need".
Maxon was looking for a high-end synchronised motion control solution based on open PC standards.
"We were looking for a partner who can make digital high-end motion control work", says Gerwin Geukes, Product Manager of Maxon Motor.
"With Nyquist we found a partner with know how on high-end motion control technology.
With us they now can deliver tailor made solutions in the drive range up to 400W".
Both companies have many years of experience in providing solutions for OEM applications.
The combined Maxon technology and Nyquist's NYCe product families provide an OEM solution using an industry-standard high-speed IEEE-1394 FireWire network to connect the open PC-based platform to the 'smart drives'.
On the top level, the Windows NT-based platform performs I/O processing, machine sequencing, GUI display, path planning and kinematics solutions.
This architecture optimises the use of PC technology while significantly reducing machine cabling.
All software is component based giving exposed interfaces at all levels to the OEM for easy customisation and robust end solutions.
