MovingCap RABBIT - High-speed Positioning For Linear Actuators

Scroll Prev Top Next More

A new position controller ("Rabbit Pos Control") is available for the MovingCap flatTRACK, FATtrack and shortTRACK series. This makes optimum use of the mechanical and electrical advantages of the linear direct drives and was designed for applications with high dynamic and accuracy requirements.

Overview and differences between the MovingCap position control systems

Positioning Mode (Profile Position Mode)
Velocity mode (constant speed mode)
Homing mode (homing mode)

Positioning mode (Profile Position Mode)
(Velocity mode in preparation)

Controller input variables

Position or speed

Position, speed and acceleration

Trajectory generator

Trapezoidal speed profile

S-shaped speed profile

Trajectory parameters

Maximum speed (Profile Velocity),
Acceleration (Profile Acceleration),
Braking value (Profile Deceleration)

Maximum speed (Profile Velocity),

Controller setting

Presets for stable operation for most basic applications
 
Position control setting parameters:
Proportional gain (Kp Pos)
Integral gain (Ki Pos)
 
Speed control setting parameter:
Proportional gain (Kp Vel)
Integral gain (Ki Vel)

Specification of the moving payload in grams [g]

Adjustable weight compensation / compensation of additional static forces

Fine tuning:

Switchable linear or root position control

Adjustable compensation of motor phase asymmetry ("Torque Ripple Suppression")

Fine tuning by adjusting the control gains (Pos Gain, Vel Gain, Err Gain)
