hybrid stepperDC24 V

Overview
COOL MUSCLE is an integrated AC servo system that combines driver, controller and encoder into a single unit. It provides precise motion control with simplified wiring and setup, enabling accurate position, speed and torque control without the complexity of conventional servo systems.

Key concept
All components required for closed-loop motor control are built into COOL MUSCLE, eliminating the need for external drives, separate encoders or extensive wiring. Configuration and operation can be performed from a PC using simple command-based programming.

Benefits of integration

• Wiring & space savings: Reduced cabling and assembly time; connection to a PC or PLC requires only a single cable.
• Cost-effective servo-like control: High-resolution encoder on a stepper motor provides servo performance at lower cost.
• Proven in many applications: Deployed in millions of systems across medical, semiconductor, entertainment and industrial equipment.

Ease of use

• Simple wiring: Single-cable connection for communication and +24 VDC power simplifies installation.
• Program storage & execution: Motion programs can be stored in the unit and triggered by switches.
• Easy programming: Command-based programming and utility software (CWL) reduce development time.
• Graphical utility: CWL offers parameter setting, data management and real-time monitoring.

High performance
COOL MUSCLE combines a stepper motor with MUSCLE's high-resolution encoder and proprietary control to deliver high torque at low speeds, reduced heat generation, lower current draw and smoother rotation.

Performance comparison (summary)
Resolution (ppr): Stepper — conventional; CM1 — 250 (examples), with encoder system capable up to 50,000 for ultra-low-speed control.
Current (mA): Stepper — conventional; CM1 — approx. 1/2 (reduced power consumption).
Noise (dB): Stepper — conventional; CM1 — approx. 2/3 (quieter operation).
Temperature (°C): Stepper — conventional; CM1 — approx. 2/5 (lower heat generation).

Advanced motion features

• Full closed-loop: Position feedback ensures no missed steps or stalls.
• Vector control: Smooth rotation at low speeds to reduce machine vibration.
• Super slow-speed control: High-resolution encoder enables control down to 0.012 RPM for precise low-speed motion.

Functions & applications

• Typical uses: transfer, pick & place, dispensers, screw tightening, medical devices, semiconductor equipment and entertainment systems.
• Network: Optional daisy-chain network board for multi-axis systems.
• Configurable parameters: Extensive parameter set for fine tuning.
• Torque control: Useful for push-control and compliant pick & place applications.

Additional notes
Integration reduces assembly and maintenance effort while simplifying setup and monitoring for consistent, precise motion.
