SmartMotors - DC Servo | The integrated motor by
ANIMATICS
SmartMotor is an entire servo motion control system in a single component
designed for compact, high reliability O.E.M. equipment. The SmartMotor
servo is a fully integrated, powerful, compact unit that significantly
elevates state-of-the-art motion control technology. It combines a
controller, motor drive, encoder, network manager and packs it into the back
of a high quality brushless D.C. Servo Motor. This final level of servo
integration allows you to...
Increase Throughput
The SmartMotor meets the demands for increased throughput on automation
equipment, often by replacing stepper motors. Because the SmartMotor will
take step and direction commands, and is bolt and shaft compatible; steppers
can be replaced with NO SOFTWARE OR MOUNTING CHANGES.
Increase MTBF (reliability)
The SmartMotor has about 1/4 the number of parts of other servo systems.
It is simple - fewer parts and better design mean greater reliability.
Reduce Costs
Fewer parts cost you less, but that’s just the start.
Eliminate the drives and controls cabinet from your machine.
Just connect everything to the SmartMotor and save so much more.
Reduce Development Time
There is almost nothing the SmartMotor can’t do, so there is simply little
left for you to do but complete your project.
Eliminate Field Service
Lightning strike your unit in the field?
No need to send out a technician to troubleshoot a cabinet of controls that
doesn’t exist. Just swap the motor and you have changed out the entire
control system; send a spare and have zero down time.

Applications
The
possibilities are limitless! Our SmartMotor™ suite of products provide a
wide range of capabilities, sizes, and functionality, all offering the
flexibility and power of our fully-integrated, closed loop servo technology.
The Animatics development team can work with you to design and produce a
creative solution to all of your motion control needs.
The Animatics SmartMotor has internal, non-volatile memory that allows for
programs to be downloaded from a host computer and saved to the SmartMotor.
An entire system’s tuning and performance parameters can be saved and
replicated from the first to the last axis. All input, output, and internal
status information is accessible through defined variables for program
monitoring and control.
Up to 100 axes of SmartMotors can be networked together through a variety of
field buses, including RS485, ProfiBus, and DeviceNet. SmartMotors can
communicate with serially addressable devices on the network; for example,
intelligent peripherals such as light curtains, bar code readers, and
absolute encoders. Sensors, monitoring an array of events, can be connected
and controlled directly from the SmartMotor. It is this efficient and
flexible technology that drives our success.

Process Tension Control
By the use of Phase Offset moves while Electronically
gearing Master to Slave, the controllers allow for easy tension control
between two sets of nip rollers. Tension can be regulated by
pre-test measurement or live analog, serial or digital feedback providing
proper control of tension through varying speeds and up or downstream loads.

High Speed Traverse & Take-up Spool Winders
Use of Programmable Software Travel Limits, Electronic
Gearing, and Special Firmware drive control, Winders can be set up to wind
unlimited variations in spool width, wind angle and end-point dwell as well
as step wind, stack wind and tapered wind.
With low inertia motors and high speed acceleration, very precise winding
can be achieved in such applications as edge-wound voice coils, guitar
strings, catheters and standard textile spool winding
|
|
Programmable Cut To Length Saw Stop or Back Stop Gage
With the ability to program up to 1000 subroutines and
32K of extra data storage, the system can be programmed for hundreds of back
stop positions and sequences.
No external PLC or PC would be required. A simple HMI can be utilized for
interfacing
|
|
|
|
Parallel Axis Gantry
In wide gantry applications, the base axis can be moved
with two motors, one Master, one Slave. Additionally, the master axis can
follow product flow under the gantry for operations such as flying shears,
material cutoff, cross-cut saws, etc.
Proper fault handling will prevent racking of the gantry in the event that
either the Master or Slave faults out during a move. Homing is done only
once at power-up. The Master and Slave sync up maintaining perfect
alignment.
See our CNC software on page 73-75 for full CNC
capabilities.

3-Position Parts Diverter
Simple servo upgrade from existing pneumatic systems, the
Animatics SmartMotor™ can be placed into any system to replace 2 or 3
position air cylinders to allow for multi point programmable positioning
while maintaining simple I/O trigger control from any PLC.
The SmartMotor is placed into Position Mode and programmed to move to a
given set point upon I/O input trigger from the PLC.
|
|
Input / Output Stacker
Utilizing Subroutines and variable counter, both Absolute
and Relative Position Mode moves allow for start of stack and incremental
stack shifts while maintaining parts counts. Having localized I/O within the
Integrated Controls, the entire handling of parts can be dealt with by the
stacker motor itself.
True Distributed control at a fraction of the cost and footprint.

Programmable Rotary Index Table
Typical Mechanical CAM based rotary Index Tables are
fixed index and dwell devices. The Index distance cannot be changed and
dwell is fixed as a function of assumed constant input RPM. By adding an
Animatics Integrated SmartMotor™ to any servo rated Worm Gear box or flange
output gear reducer, the system becomes a fully programmable rotary index
table and can be programmed to any practical number of indexes and dwell
times. Given the I/O and control capabilities, the dwells can be based on
end-of-process contrary to fixed mechanical CAM thereby speeding up over all
production cycle times.
|
|
Programmable Force Press-To-Fit
Animatics’ integrated approach to drives and controls
allows for closely regulated positioning and position error control. This
results in the ability for highly repeatable torque limited machine cycles.
The result is a very good solution for pressing parts together or any other
force limited application where both cycle time and proper force must be
tightly regulated.
|
|
Drill & Tap/Nut Runner
Set rotating Motor as master and have the linear axis
electronically gear off of it to provide high speed drill and taps and screw
feed control with limited torque. Adding proper torque detection, the unit
can detect when a drill or tap has worn or become dull. As a nut/screw
runner, it can pick up on cross thread, broken or stripped thread, missing
part or jammed part.
|
|
|
|
High Speed Parts Counter and Verification
The External Encoder Input can be used to read Quadrature
Incremental Encoders, Step and Direction Input or just as a counter where
input pulses can be counted at a rate up to 2 Megahertz. As a result, the
motor can both feed parts and verify part count even at high rates of speeds
and short distance between parts.
|
|
Multi-Axis Pick & Place
Up to 100 individually addressed motors can be placed on
a communications bus allowing for easy coordination of multiple axis
applications such as Pick & Place machines, Palletizers, Cross axis cutters,
sorters, etc.
|
|
Print and Die Cut alignment on-the-fly
When using Electronic Gearing, phase offset adjustment
moves can be achieved to properly align die cut processes with printed
registration marks. This same technique can be used to insure over mold and
multi-layer print alignment and even pocketed blister pack parts placement.

Brushed / Brushless D.C. Servo Controller
The RTC3000 and RTC4000 are miniature servo controllers
with built-in amplifier for use in OEM equipment to control very small
brushed or brushless DC servo motors.
The RTC3000 measures 3.68 x 1.815 x 0.35 inches and makes all connections on
the long edge side. The RTC3000 operates from a 12 to 24 VDC source and
switches 1 Amp of continuous and 3 Amp of peak current. The RTC4000 measures
1.18 x 2.15 x 0.50 inches. The RTC 4000 operates from a 12 to 24 VDC source
and switches 3 Amp of continuous and 6 Amp of peak current.
The small motor controller outputs are protected from short circuit to each
other, to supply and to ground. The 32K of internal program memory can be
used by jumpering two signals together at the memory port. Alternatively,
the port signals can be routed to an external memory module. Either way, the
unit can be programmed in BASIC to operate stand-alone. Stand-alone programs
can interact with all inputs and outputs of the RTC3000, affording total
flexibility and a multitude of additional interface options. The controller
communicates over RS232 and RS485. All signal ports have supply and ground
to power external devices such as limit switches, encoders, hall sensors,
etc.
Like the SmartMotor, both the RTC3000 and RTC4000 have an additional network
port called AniLink that interfaces with a vast array of peripherals.
