Precision motion within a compact envelope

Motion module design starts with the installation envelope, travel and workpiece load. The arrangement of the drive, guides and shaft is considered alongside part tolerances and assembly access to translate the intended motion into the machine.

Engineering considerations

  • Structure & layout · envelope, clearances and travel
  • Stiffness & load · force paths, deflection and moving mass
  • Tolerances & assembly · datums, alignment and service access
03 / ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGN

Electromagnetic design

Electromagnetic Field Design and Simulation for Equipment Motors

We possess expertise in the electromagnetic field design of various motors, including IPM, SPM, and AFPM. Using advanced electromagnetic field analysis tools such as Maxwell and JMAG, we precisely perform magnetic circuit design and optimization, static/transient analysis, structural design considering rotor strength and mechanical stability, insulation design for electrical components, and thermal analysis comprehensively. We provide motor manufacturing and performance evaluation solutions with the highest levels of performance and reliability.

Connecting motor force with sensor feedback

Precision motion relies on stable power and accurate feedback as well as the motor. Power and drive paths, encoder signals and external controller interfaces are considered together to connect mechanical and electromagnetic design with the control system.

Engineering considerations

  • Power & drive · current paths, heat and protection conditions
  • Sensing & feedback · encoder signals, noise and grounding
  • System integration · connectors, pin assignments and controller interfaces
05 / ULTRA-PRECISION ASSEMBLY

From design intent to measured motion

Alignment and motion after assembly matter as much as individual part precision. Reviewing datums, joints, shaft and guide alignment, and sensor position links assembly to measurement and correction. The following published PSMP repeatability study illustrates the role of motion validation.

Engineering considerations

  • Preparation · part condition and reference surfaces
  • Alignment & joining · axis alignment, interference and fastening
  • Validation · repeated motion, measurement, correction and records
  1. 01Check parts
  2. 02Align & assemble
  3. 03Measure motion
  4. 04Correct & record
