Fully integrated servo controller IC from Trinamic aids ventilator design
Trinamic Motion Control has debuted the TMC4671-LA, the world’s first fully integrated servo controller IC with field-oriented control for BLDC/PMSM, 2-phase stepper motors, dc motors, and voice coils. Using input from market leaders in e-mobility, robotics, lab automation, and pump and blower design, Trinamic has fully optimized the TMC4671-LA by incorporating all required motor control […]
Trinamic introduces small, lightweight servo controller module
TRINAMIC Motion Control introduces the TMCM-1617, single-axis servo controller module, designed for servo drives with 18A RMS and 8 to 28V dc supply voltage. The TMCM-1617’s EtherCAT, CAN and RS485 interfaces, ultra-lightweight aluminum housing (conforms with DIN EN 60529), and a cutting-edge feature set make the TMCM-1617 an ideal choice for medical, aerospace, and robotics. […]
Scalable drives for high-power stepper motors from Trinamic
Two new drives from Trinamic Motion Control are designed for high-power stepper motors. The TMCM-1278 combines a motion controller and drive in a single module designed for NEMA 23/24 motors. The PD60/86-1278 PANdrive is a full mechatronic solution that mounts the module on a NEMA 24/34 PANdrive motor. Controlled by a CAN bus interface, both […]
Trinamic smart driver IC for battery-powered dc motors
The new TMC7300 drives one or two DC motors from 2.0 to 11 Vdc and employs UART-based control for torque and velocity. TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG now sells a TMC7300 low-voltage driver for one DC motor (up to 2-A peak) or two DC motors (to 2.4A peak) on a single or dual […]
TRINAMIC TMC2209 stepper driver for silent desktop machines
TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG now sells the TMC2209 stepper driver IC — a motor driver that enables silent operation, intelligent stall detection, and lower cost for 3D printers, office and home automation equipment, and other applications using two-phase stepper motors. The TMC2209 is pin-compatible with earlier TRINAMIC devices, as well as some […]
Embedded motion and frameless motors in collaborative robots
Collaborative robots are seeing exponential rise in use. “This trend is a perfect example of the so-called fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 … a term defined by chairman of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab. It’s blurring lines between digital, physical, and biological spheres,” said Jonas Proeger of Trinamic Motion Control. Some of these […]
Available May 2019: Trinamic six-channel stepper-motor controller module for improved performance
TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG now sells the TMCM-6214, a highly integrated module capable of driving up to six two-phase stepper motors, drawing up to 1.9A RMS each at supply voltages of up to +24 V. Thanks to its three integrated encoder inputs for incremental A/B/N encoders, it can support high-precision position feedback […]
Trinamic’s gate driver has integrated current sensing for BLDC and PMSM motor control
The TMC6200 high-voltage gate-driver integrates in-line current sensing and other features needed to implement complete FOC motor control solutions for BLDC and PMSM servo motors drawing up to 100A. TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG now sells a new high-power gate driver for PMSM servo or BLDC motors. The chip enables powerful, flexible designs […]
