July Sessions

How to Use Motioneering to Size Your Application

Learn how to navigate Motioneering – Kollmorgen’s fast, feature-rich, online servo-sizing tool for machine builders. In this webinar, they will show you how to size a system using mechanism types and product filters to assist in product selection. Feel free to simply watch the presentation or get interactive by signing in to Motioneering and sizing an application alongside the instructor.

In this session you’ll learn how to:

  • Create a project and set units
  • Input parameters in the mechanism view
  • Set criteria for product selection
  • Evaluate and balance selection considerations

(Pair with Creating Advanced Motioneering Profiles for a full course experience)

How to Select the Right Motor for Robotic Applications to Reduce Cost & Time to Market

Understanding the physics and optimization techniques of electric motors— including slotted, slotless, and frameless designs— is essential for enhancing value and performance. In this webinar, discussion will focus on the effects of pole count, winding modifications, and other construction trade-offs such as length, diameter, and back-iron design. In addition, they will highlight gearing modifications that can play a crucial role in optimizing speed and torque characteristics.

Join to explore:

  • The balance between standard and configurable products that offer quick solutions versus customized products that ​meet unique technical requirements.​
  • How to tailor motor and gearing properties to meet stringent requirements, achieving a distinct advantage in robotics applications.
  • The value that​ customized​ motor solutions can deliver for superior performance and improved ROI

ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
