Innosuisse Project: Advancing Field Weakening in Stepper Motors

chris — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 21:30:41 +0000

We are excited to share that we have successfully completed an Innosuisse project focused on exploring the field weakening process in stepper motors. Through our lab tests, we achieved motor speeds of over 3000 RPM using this innovative approach.

Building on these promising results, we’re preparing to integrate this breakthrough into our products and will release it as part of an upcoming firmware update. Stay tuned for more details on how this enhancement will boost the performance and efficiency of your servo drive solutions.

EtherCAT and EtherCAT-P

Henschel-Robotics GmbH is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of our advanced Nema17 Sized Servo Drive, complete with EtherCAT-P capabilities. This innovative product is engineered to deliver exceptional performance while eliminating the necessity for a separate PLC system. Further details will be disclosed shortly; we invite you to stay connected for this pivotal advancement in the industry.

Nema23 Servo with up to 2.5 Nm stall torque

Soon we will release a novel power stage for our HDrive which is capable to drive bigger motors with a total current of up to 10A continuously. This power stage will be used in our Nema23 and Nema24 motors. This development will also enable tests with much bigger motors like the Nema34 or Nema42.

The release date is scheduled to the end of 2021.

Ripple current compensation

chris — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 13:12:31 +0000

A beachelor thesis at the zuerich university of applied science (ZHAW) has been made by M. Bill and L. Wyssling prospecting the torque ripple compensation on the field oriented control of the HDrive17. This compensation allows to increase the path accuracy during positioning. The topic was theoretically analyzed in Matlab Simulink and implemented on a HDrive17 Servodrive. Furthermore a laser projector was build to show the improvement while projecting a laser beam along a printed trajectory on a paper.

The ripple current compensation is increasing the trajectory accuracy by almost 50% in movements with a velocity at around 50 RPM.

Introducing the HDrive17-ETH-i
