Features

 

Supports a wide range of applications and requirements

MaxTune supports a wide range of applications, covering a variety of industries. It can be coupled with any servo motor type, including rotary and linear brushless DC motors, as well as DC brush motors. Upcoming connectivity through PROFINET.

High Servo Update Rates

32 kHz in the Current Loop, 8kHz in the Velocity Loop and 4kHz in the Position Loop. This is far higher than most servodrives in the market.

High Performance with your Analog Motion Control Card

The high update rate of 32kHz in the Current Loop as well as the implementation of Field Oriented Control (FOC) with modern hardware enables an industry leading current loop bandwidth of 3kHz. This means that running Maxtune with your Analog Current Motion Control Card (+/- 10V command) will achieve high performance motions. Expect low running positional error and settling times!

High Performance with your Pulse and Direction or Field Bus Motion Control Card

A special Non-linear Control Algorithm coupled with 4kHz position loop update rate gives extremely low settling times when running in Position mode (eg. Pulse and Direction, Up/Down or CANOpen, EtherCAT). Maxtune is able to run in this NLC mode as well as conventional PID.

Easy to Configure

Auto-tuning and Auto-phasing (for commutation) functions enable fast configuration of the servodrive. Get your motor moving in minutes!

Run Without Hall Effect Sensor

Advanced Phase Finding Algorithm enables phase-initialization without Hall Effect Sensors.

High power density in one of the smallest footprints in the market

The automation industry has been accustomed to the inherent tradeoff between power density levels of servo drives and their reliability and performance. MaxTune has brought an end to this equation. Its innovative hardware design and software algorithms offer the highest performance and reliability in one of the industry’s smallest footprint drives.
