The hybrid servomotor: stepping up to closed loop
by Don Labriola P.E., President, QuickSilver Controls, Inc The use of hybrid servos grows as their control techniques are understood, and the costs of sufficient processing power shrink. Sophisticated control techniques have produced the hybrid servomotor system from the motor style commonly called a hybrid stepper motor when powered by an open-loop step driver. The […]
CANopen Servo Motor Controller
QuickSilver Controls, Inc. introduces a low cost CiA DSP 402 CANopen servo motor controller. The SilverDust IGK is a stand alone, single axis controller that includes serial communications (RS-232, RS-485), CANopen and 7 I/O. CANopen can be configured for peer-to-peer, master or slave which allows the controllers to share I/O with other CANopen controllers and […]
QuickSilver Solves Tightening Applications
The most common tightening applications are caps or nuts. These types of applications require accurate control of torque and position to avoid stripping, under tightening, over tightening, missing bottles, cross-threading, and mechanical jams. QuickSilver’s programmable single axis servo motor controller can be pre-loaded with the expected/nominal torque profile. If more or less torque is detected […]

QuickSilver OEM Servo Motor Controller with CANopen
QuickSilver has added a CANopen option to its OEM servo motor controller. CANopen may be configured for peer-to-peer, master or slave. This allows the controllers to share I/O and registers with other CANopen enabled SilverDust™ controllers or 3rd party CANopen devices (i.e. I/O blocks, encoders, PLCs…). For a multiaxis system, connect several IG-Js, make one […]
