Enhancing Performance through Optimal Motor Selection

When selecting AC servo motors in your equipment, it is important to consider various factors such as acceleration/deceleration performance for each axis (XYZ), contouring control, stabilization, cycle time, space occupancy, and mass. Additionally, each application has its own specific requirements, customer preferences, and unique demands for different axes within the same device.

While our versatile R2-Series motor covers a wide range of elements, it’s crucial to avoid pushing it to its limits. In some cases, when the motor is operating at its maximum capacity, certain axes may become a bottleneck, negatively affecting the overall device performance. Therefore, it is recommended to choose products that are well-suited for the specific application and consider the elements that may restrict performance. By doing so, we can greatly enhance motion characteristics and improve the overall cycle time of the device.

To achieve balanced movement across multiple axes, a potential scenario, as illustrated in the Table above, could involve the utilization of different motor series. Here’s an overview of the suggested motor choices for specific requirements:

  1. R5-Series: The R5-Series is recommended for axes that demand precise control. With its high-performance capabilities, this series ensures accurate positioning and reliable operation.

  2. R2-Series: If the emphasis is on weight reduction and a smaller footprint, the compact R2-Series is a suitable choice. It offers a balance between size and performance, making it ideal for applications where space optimization is crucial.

  3. R1-Series: For high acceleration and rapid response applications, the R1-Series is the preferred option. This series excels in delivering fast and dynamic motion with exceptional responsiveness.

By strategically selecting the appropriate motor series based on specific axis requirements, you can achieve optimized performance and fulfill the unique needs of each application.
