Robotic arm demo utilizes products from Oriental Motor’s AZ Series AlphaStep Hybrid Control System family of products, including the new AZ Series Compact Driver. They demonstrate and goes over Oriental Motor’s AZ Series stepper motors with Yaskawa’s compact drivers on a 7-axis articulated robot. AZ Series Stepper Motors with Mechanical Absolute Encoder The AlphaStep AZ […]
Choosing a servo motor for an application doesn’t have to be tedious or a myth. In fact, with Yaskawa’s SigmaSelect software, it is as easy as entering in some data and selecting a servo motor for the application. The art of properly selecting a servo motor for a specific task based on speed, torque and […]
Stepper motors are popular for their ability to position easily and accurately. The travel amount and the speed can be easily controlled by a digital pulse signal. Unlike servo motors, stepper motors do not require encoders or complicated PID loops to operate. Easy to Use: 34% Inexpensive: 17% Simple Operation: 16% No Tuning: 12% Other: 21% Therefore, […]
NEW GENERATION PLANETARY GEARBOX: GL & GLS SERIES The new Apex GL Series is a precision planetary gearbox designed for AGV applications. The unique rotary housing allows a drive wheel or pully to be mounted over the exterior, burying a large part of the gearbox in the wheel or pulley. The result is space savings […]
The electromagnetic brake is located in the back and operates separately from the stepper motor. When the power is cut off, the electromagnetic brake holds the load in position. Learn how Oriental Motor power off-activated electromagnetic brake stepper motor works and the applications that can benefit from it. Discuss your project with a MSI […]
VIDEO Oriental Motor’s servo motors and stepper motors offer stable operation in high inertia drive and belt mechanism drive applications without gain adjustment using the servo motors. Also, adjusting the gain manually enables operation under even more stringent load conditions. Contact us to learn more.
VIDEO When automated equipment is designed, various factors must be taken into consideration including the production line layout, installation environment, ease of maintenance, configuration of electrical wiring and control system, and so on. This means many man-hours are needed to select the motor and other mechanical components and create a parts list, drawings, operating manuals, […]
VIDEO Motors offer excellent controllability and are therefore used as the drive sources of various automated equipment. In many cases a motor is combined with mechanical components such as a ball screw, belt and pulley, and rack and pinion to convert the motor rotation to a different type of motion needed to drive the equipment. […]
Many different components are used in a variety of combinations to create a complete motion control or positioning system. IDC offers the broadest range of products spanning the complete spectrum from mechanical actuators to microstepping and brushless servo drives to programmable motion controllers. A successful application depends on choosing the right combination of actuator, motor, […]
