Thanks to its parallel kinematic structure and miniature ball joints, it achieves good mechanical stiffness and a large range of motion. Thanks to its parallel kinematic structure and miniature ball joints, it achieves good mechanical stiffness and a large range of motion.
The motors are off the shelf stepper motors driven by a 30kHz closed loop controller and a very precise PWM signal. The motors are off the shelf stepper motors driven by a 30kHz closed loop controller and a very precise PWM signal.
A 'magnetic gearing' approach increases the resolution of the low-cost megnetic rotary encoders by a factor of 30 allowing for steps down to 50nm. A 'magnetic gearing' approach increases the resolution of the low-cost megnetic rotary encoders by a factor of 30 allowing for steps down to 50nm.
