RoboteQ has long been known for our motor controllers, navigation systems, battery management systems and software – and now, through a unique partnership with Nidec Corporation, we’re adding a new line of motor wheels and motor-drive kits to our extensive offering from the most comprehensive manufacturer of electric motors in the world.

RoboteQ’s sensorless control of BLDC motors uses back-EMF integration technique which provides very good start-up and commutation timing that is more precise than traditional zero-crossing detection techniques. Sensorless has fewer and different settings than sensored motors. For these reasons, sensorless is supported only on selected Motor Controller Hardware/Firmware, under new product references. The FSM2360S is the first of a series of upcoming controllers dedicated to sensorless brushless motor control.

Roboteq's RoboPads charge contact system offers a precise, high current charging solution for mobile robots and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). This short, fast-paced video uses 3d animation to show how the magnetic activation works its magic to control the connection and disconnection action automatically, using power from the robot's motion alone.

During braking, the regenerative voltage can be equal to, or even exceed, the supply voltage in some cases depending on the rotational inertia of the mechanical system, potentially causing permanent damage to the power supply and/or the motor controller. Roboteq's new SRK5K works by monitoring the system’s supply’s voltage and instantly applying a two-level resistive load during overvoltage conditions to absorb up to 5 kilowatt of excess energy and bring voltages back to safe levels.

Scripting is one of our Motor Controller's most capable and distinctive features. Since MicroBasic scripting is also used across all our non-motor-control products (Magnetic Guide Sensors, Battery Management System, etc), the language's documentation has been extracted from the Motor Controller User’s Manual, into a dedicated Reference Manual. Manual can be found on our website. http://bit.ly/microbasic-scripting . . . . . . #roboteq #robotics #tech #engineering #motorcontrollers #microbasic #scripting https://www.instagram.com/p/B3u1HLhBMEl/?igshid=i350ub1lc2zp

Version 2.0 of our PC Utility is ready for download. This latest version includes updated menus needed for configuring, monitoring and testing the features of the new Firmware. A new screen with a high-speed chart recorder has been added to the utility for setting up, monitoring and troubleshooting the motor's rotor sensor (Hall, SinCos, SSI, ...). Download the utility at the link in our bio. User manual can be found on our website. . . . . . . #roboteq #robotics #tech #engineering #motorcontrollers https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zzzjrBjsY/?igshid=a7r095oxvgit

Roboteq has updated our Motor Controllers User Manual. The manual describes all the new capabilities of firmware 2.0. The section covering Brushless Motor operation has been significantly expanded, with, among other things, a description of the new Sensorless technique, and an expanded discussion on Sinusoidal operation.

The MGSM1600 is a new variant of our popular MGS1600 sensor that uses a waterproof M12, 8-pin connector instead of the long cable. The 8 pins map all the necessary signals for connection to Roboteq motor controllers or to any PLC via CANbus, RS232, Analog or PWM interfaces. The M12 connector can make the sensor easier to install and replace in many applications.

AC Induction Motors are gaining in popularity in mobile robot applications thanks to their much simpler design and lower cost. To satisfy this growing demand, we have introduced three new Variable Frequency Drives: SIM1360 single 30A, SIM2360 dual 30A and GIM2660 dual 180A. Added to our existing offering, this makes Roboteq's line the most complete in the industry.

After a full year and a half of improvements and fine tuning, firmware v2.0 is finally officially released. Changes include improvement in sinusoidal commutation (e.g. auto sensor setup, linearity correction, ...), expanded connectivity (e.g. CANOpen DS402, Modbus TCP, ...), higher resolution PID, STO support, improved Sensorless operation, optimized protection and more.

STO is a safety mechanism for motor drives that reliably brings the motor to a no-torque state, even in the case of a single fault in any part of the system. To achieve this, we added special circuitry to our controllers.

Roboteq's magnetic activated charge contacts have been put through a gruesome life test, extending and retracting once per second for days and nights. Eventually, they ceased to fully retract - but were still otherwise operational - after an impressive run of 721,000 cycles. In a real-life installation, connections and disconnections to chargers happens in 10s of minutes or even hours intervals, translating in years of operation before reaching this number of cycles.

A new detection technique has been added to Roboteq's Magnetic Guide Sensors for easily encoding up to 32-bits using different left/right marker patterns. Magnetic markers are pieces of magnetic tape, of opposite polarity than, and positioned at the left and/or right of, the main track guide. Magnetic markers are practically free, thus saving the cost of RFID or other location identification devices.
