If you want to ensure your motor lasts a long time, you need to prevent overheating by leveraging motor temperature data. There are a few digital and analog methods to take accurate motor temperatures. One digital technique is the “I Squared T” (I2T) method, while an analog, resistance-based approach is to use Steinhart-Hart coefficients.

Tomorrow kicks off the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston! Visit us at booth 107 to learn about our Nano EtherCAT/CANopen miniature servo drives and Copley Motion Library (CML) with ROS2. See you there! #RSE2024 #robotics #automation #tradeshow 

Save the date! In a few weeks, we'll be at the Robotics Summit & Expo, taking place May 1st and 2nd in Boston MA. Be sure to visit us at booth 107, where our design engineers will be discussing our latest Nano EtherCAT/CANopen miniature servo drives and Copley Motion Library (CML) with ROS2. Learn more in our blog post: https://lnkd.in/eExR5sTM Also, on Thursday, May 2nd at 11:30 a.m., our own Anthony Redamonti will be giving a talk on CML and ROS called, "The Importance of Deterministic Data Transmission of ROS Trajectories." It will take place in Room 257A.   #RSE2024 #robotics #automation #tradeshow 

We're thrilled that our recent article, "Driving Robotics and Embedded Motion Applications with Next-Generation Servo Technology," is the cover story for the latest addition of Machine Design. Check it out below. In it, we explore compact, efficient and powerful nano-type servo drives with innovative thermal management technology: https://lnkd.in/eWSafku8 #robotics #motioncontrol #nanodrives #machinedesign #engineering

Check out our detailed application note to learn more about the “I Squared T” (I2T) motor overload protection method. In it, we review equations analyzing motor thermals and heat dissipation and show how these equations serve as a jumping-off point for the I2T algorithm. We also present an application — complete with calculations — that involves a motor and drive with specific overload characteristics: https://lnkd.in/erB28Wfi #motors #servodrives #motioncontrol #industrialautomation #engineering #robotics #controlsystems #precisioncontrol #IOT #industry40

If you’re looking to protect your motor from overload conditions and destructive overheating, look no further than the drive. Since power flowing into the motor must first flow through the drive, this system is a natural starting point to track, and ultimately guard against, overload conditions. This is exactly what the “I Squared T” (I2T) algorithm does.

We're thrilled to be exhibiting at this years Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston! We're also excited to share that Copley Controls Software Engineer Anthony Redamonti will be a speaker discussing the importance of deterministic data transmission with ROS trajectories and exploring the ways in which Copley technology can solve the underlying challenges. Visit Copley at booth #107 to speak with our engineers and learn how Copley can help drive your innovation. #servodrives #robotics #motioncontrol #automation #engineering #mobilerobots #precisioncontrol #innovation https://lnkd.in/eQyvSyBt

As servo drives continue to become smaller and more power dense to address the needs of advanced motion control applications, challenges arise when managing the heat dissipated by these compact drives. Read the latest editorial from Dean Crumlish published in Machine Design that explores the techniques in which servo drive designers and system integrators overcome these thermal challenges. https://lnkd.in/gUQ92Vnu #servodrives #robotics #motioncontrol #automation #mobilerobots
