[Functional Edition] Functional Use of Shaft Motors: "Parallel Drive"
Ideal for gantries (portal type)! The shaft motor "parallel drive" enables high-precision stage configuration without synchronous operation.
By utilizing the characteristics of the shaft motor, it is possible to "drive simultaneously" two parallel axes without synchronizing them, as if they were synchronized. [Parallel Drive with Shaft Motor] By using a shaft motor with two axes, one set of encoders, and one driver to distribute current to the two axes, it is possible to achieve "simultaneous drive" of the two axes. *Reference* [Conventional Synchronized Drive] Two linear motors, two sets of encoders, and two drivers are required to synchronize the two axes... a labor-intensive task.
basic information
The shaft motor S series/L series/SX series can all be driven in parallel. You can select the shaft motor according to the required thrust, allowing for the construction of parallel drive.
