System Information
Although Teknic's components are individually well-engineered, they are best considered as part of the complete motion control system for an automated machine. The following links point to information on how these components are designed to work together and deliver superior performance.
In particular, the eFoundation information describes the coordination of the system as it provides power control, distribution and safety interlock management for automated machinery.
The information on the ControlPoint machine control system describes the logically integrated, yet physically distributed, nature of that system. The pages below go into detail on the various aspects of this system; from the Rapid Prototyping Environment to the quality of the TG-540's motion profiles to ControlPoint's place in the entire machine development cycle.
The U-series SSt Servo Drive is the culmination of many years of cooperative development with leading OEM machine designers. The aspects of the drive which permit the significant improvements in performance and reliability, while reducing cost and time-to-market are described in great detail in the information below. Additionally, comparisons of common servo architectures are explored with emphasis placed on the effect of the various technical differences.
