ETEL: Motion Control (AccurET VHP Series)
The AccurET and UltimET motion control solutions benefit from ETEL’s long experience in linear/torque motors, motion systems and motion controllers. This range defines the new standard for motion control in the industry: UltimET Light motion controllers and AccurET position controllers offer unmatched performance in such a small volume. Now, the customer can improve machine’s throughput and save space at the same time!
The full ETEL solution allows machine builders to simplify mechanical integration in their machine thanks to a very consistent design and a modular architecture that is easy to wire and mount. It also gives customers the opportunity to focus on their core competence and technology while ETEL takes care of motion systems development.
ETEL’s motion control solutions have been integrated into leading edge machines of various high-tech industries for more than 15 years. ETEL’s range of motion controllers (UltimET) and position controllers (AccurET) allows machine builder to drive any available servo motors on the market (brushless, DC motors, steppers) with the highest performance regulation in a minimal footprint.
Its decentralized architecture ensures the same level of performances and speed regardless the number of axes to drive in the machine. Distributed architecture also makes cabling easier to manage and to maintain in the field. Last but not least, the software environment, ComET and EDI, simplifies software development, machine installation and maintenance.
Why should you use ETEL’s controllers?
Highest performance in direct drive control
- Deterministic synchronization or interpolation for high-end multi-axis applications
- Advanced servo algorithms
Very high speed communication through ETEL real-time bus (TransnET)
Compact form factor and simple cabling for an easy machine building
ComET user-friendly software tools for setup, monitoring and system identification have been designed to help customer to improve system’s runtime capabilities
AccurET VHP: Position Controllers
For the most demanding applications, ETEL developed a unique Very High Performance position controller range called AccurET VHP. This range of product is equipped with both specific hardware and software that maximizes the performance. AccurET VHP position controllers are compatible with all the other AccurET controllers and can be dedicated to the most demanding axes of a multi-axis motion system. In fact, it is the same decentralized architecture as used in the AccurET modular. This allows an important part of the machine control software to be located at the axis level. In addition to the benefits of ETEL controllers such as high computation power, fast and real-time communication bus and state of the art control algorithms, ETEL’s VHP range is providing outstanding signal to noise ratio.
AccurET VHPs are successfully used in areas such as:
ETEL has always focused on developing advanced motion control features to make its position controllers unique in the market. In addition to the standard range of products, ETEL offers unique hardware that enables performance otherwise unachievable with conventional technologies.
AccurET VHP (Very High Performance) range includes all software features and advanced algorithms of the standard AccurET range and combines these with a unique hardware design. VHP products are designed specifically to control the most demanding axes in terms of position stability and speed accuracy. To reach sub-nanometer position stability and extremely low tracking errors during dynamic motions ETEL has designed specific hardware.
ETEL's AccurET VHP specific power output stage achieves outstanding signal to noise ratio of 100dB. This unique signal quality provides superior levels of performance both in position and speed stability. In addition ETEL's expertise delivers high levels of current that would be limited in traditional linear amplifier architectures. The unique VHP hardware is the key to combining outstanding positioning performance and high dynamics.
AccurET VHP also provides advanced control features enabling more options and unique algorithms for complex motion systems. For instance, AccurET VHP provides High Speed Encoder Interfaces (HSEI) to enable extremely high resolution position feedback in combination with high speed motion.
