- ROCKWELL AUTOMATION MOTION ANALYZER SOFTWARE
Helps make it faster and easier to analyze, optimize, simulate, and select motion control systems.
Reduce design and development time with Motion Analyzer Software. With this software you will be able to design motion profiles according to your system requirements:
- Validate machine performance for varying supply voltages around the world with supply voltage tolerance analysis tools
- Select an optimized drive, motor, gearbox combination
- Decrease energy usage with the energy efficiency analysis tool
- Verify machine controls with dynamic tuning simulation
- HARDWARE
A comprehensive group of motion products, including direct drive motors, linear stages, stacked stages and electric cylinders helps you deliver excellent machines.
These products either allow you to couple directly to the load, eliminating transmission components which add backlash and compliance to the system, or have a larger rotor inertia, which improves the inertia ratio of the system.
System benefits include reduced mechanical vibration, improved dynamic performance and lower power consumption.
- ETHERNET/IP: A Single Network For Complete Motion Control
When you use EtherNet/IP for your motion control application, you eliminate the need for a dedicated motion network, and there's no proprietary hardware or software.
This flexible network can be used to connect business, commercial and industrial devices to help simplify networking, save time and reduce costs.
