Cool Muscle
Cool Muscle Features
The Cool Muscle line of integrated AC servos embed key requirements necessary for sustainable machine design into the motor itself.
Benefits Include:
FLEXIBLE AND CONVENIENT POWER INPUT
The CM1 series Cool Muscle uses industry standard 24VDC input voltage for all the motor sizes simplifying your low voltage power bus. The CM2 series Cool Muscle accepts 100-240VAC, single or 3 phase, removing the need for additional high voltage AC-DC power supplies.
FULLY CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM
All Cool Muscles are fully closed loop systems. With a high resolution magnetic encoder and the intelligent driver board integrated into a single space efficient package, the Cool Muscle constantly monitors its position, eliminating any missed steps.
SMOOTH AND ACCURATE MOVEMENTS
The Cool Muscle's high resolution magnetic encoder gives you an exceptionally fine resolution of 50,000 units per rotation. All Cool Muscles employ Vector Drive Control, resulting in incredibly smooth motion and high torque at low speeds.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
The Cool Muscle's power management monitors and provides the optimum current based on load, keeping the motor cool. In addition, using a stepping motor, the CM1 Cool Muscle generates high torque at low speeds in a small space envelope. The Cool Muscle applies optimum current to produce motion whereas an open loop stepper typically runs with a fixed current draw.
VARIOUS INTERFACES
The Cool Muscle can be controlled via different interfaces, including Pulse Trains, Analog, Computer and PLC I/O. Choose the type that best suits your needs. Ethernet, CAN open and other industrial buses are available for the Cool Muscle as an option.
PROGRAMMABLE
Program the Cool Muscle to create the motion you need. Define motion profiles and create programs using easy-to-understand Cool Muscle Language (CML). Motion programs you create can be stored in the Cool Muscle's EEPROM. The programs can be executed via PC, embedded computer or triggered using I/O.
POWERFUL PRE-PROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS
The Cool Muscle system comes with over 90 user definable parameters and pre-programed functions. These remove the need to program typical routines such as Homing, Feeding, Torque based motion, Speed or Position Control.
LOGIC PROGRAMMING AND PLC FUNCTIONALITY
The Cool Muscle's real time operating system precisely controls I/O timing allowing for PLC style I/O operation. Logic banks provide a flexible logical and mathematical capability analogous to that offered by traditional ladder logic. User defined actions can be triggered by external inputs or by internal motor conditions such as speed, torque or position.
TORQUE CONTROL AND FEEDBACK
The Cool Muscle controller uses the integrated current and position sensors to maintain sophisticated torque control during operation. Peak running torque can be easily set within motion programs, or the built in Push Mode function can be quickly implemented to mimic pneumatic cylinder operations.
2-AXES COORDINATED MOTION
Both the CM1 and CM2 R Type servos provide 2 axes contouring utilizing a 2+ motor daisy chain network. Additional linear axes can be implemented on the same motor for applications such as dispensing, cutting or inspection. Programs can be run directly from the motor without the need for a host controller, or can be streamed from PC for greater flexibility.
NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS
The Cool Muscle offers you multiple networking solutions. Connect multiple Cool Muscles in a daisy chain style network. In the daisy chain network Cool Muscles can tell other motors to activate programs as well as receive commands from a computer or an embedded controller.
INDUSTRIAL BUSES
RS-232, RS-485, MODBUS, Ethernet, CANopen and other industrial interfaces are available as options for the Cool Muscle servo systems. Our engineers provide technical support based on extensive integrating the Cool Muscle with third party controllers, HMIs and PLCs
