OverviewCOOL MUSCLE is an AC servo system that integrates driver, controller and encoder into a single unit. It provides closed-loop servo functionality with the simplicity of a stepper-based architecture, enabling precise motion control without specialized servo expertise.
Small and simple by integrationAll devices required for conventional motor control are built into COOL MUSCLE. External drivers, complex wiring and separate controllers are no longer necessary, reducing installation and maintenance effort.
Benefit of integrated COOL MUSCLE- Wiring & space savings — Only a single cable to PC/PLC and +24VDC is needed, lowering cabinet space and assembly time.
- Servo control at reduced cost — Encoder-equipped stepper architecture delivers closed-loop position control without the complexity and cost of traditional servo systems.
- Proven in applications — Widely deployed across medical, semiconductor, entertainment and automated equipment sectors.
EasyCOOL MUSCLE is configured and operated from a computer using a compact command set. Motion parameters and programs can be set, stored and executed with minimal training.
Make many tasks easier- Easy wiring — Single-cable connection for communication and +24VDC power.
- Easy control — Motion programs can be stored and triggered via switches or external signals.
- Easy programming — Simple commands and utilities shorten development time.
- Utility software CWL — Intuitive GUI for parameter setting, data handling and real-time monitoring.
High performanceCOOL MUSCLE combines a stepper motor with a high-resolution encoder to deliver high torque at low speed. Full closed-loop and vector control provide smooth rotation, prevent missed positions and reduce stalls. Built-in encoder resolution: 50,000; minimum controllable speed: 0.012 RPM. Energy consumption, noise and heat generation are significantly lower than conventional steppers.
Various functions- Supported application types: transfer, pick & place, dispenser, screw tightening, and other automated tasks.
- Network: Daisy-chain board enables multi-axis configurations.
- Extensive adjustable parameters to tune behavior for specific use cases.
- Torque control mode available for push-control and delicate handling tasks.
