OverviewCOOL MUSCLE CM1 is an integrated AC servo system combining a driver, controller and high-resolution encoder. It provides a compact, easy-to-use motion solution that delivers closed-loop control and precise low-speed performance while simplifying system wiring and setup.
Integration & Ease of UseAll devices required for conventional motor control are integrated into COOL MUSCLE, removing the need for external amplifiers, separate controllers and complex wiring. Configuration and operation are performed from a PC using simple commands via the CWL Utility Software. Stored motion programs can be executed via switches for basic operation without specialized servo expertise.
Benefits- Compact integration: reduces wiring and footprint; typical connection requires a single cable to PC/PLC plus +24 VDC supply.
- Simple control and programming: intuitive command set and parameter configuration via CWL shorten development time.
- Cost-effective servo behavior: encoder feedback on a stepper-based design provides servo-like performance with simpler implementation.
High PerformanceThe CM1 combines a stepper motor design with MUSCLE's high-resolution encoder and control algorithms to deliver high torque at low speeds, reduced energy consumption and low heat generation, yielding smooth, quiet rotation.
Key Functionalities- Full closed-loop control to prevent missed steps and stalling.
- Vector control for smooth rotation and reduced vibration at low speeds.
- Super slow-speed capability: 50,000-resolution encoder enabling control down to 0.012 RPM for precise low-speed tasks.
- Torque control function suitable for pick-and-place and push-control operations.
- Network capability: Daisy Chain networking supported via an optional board for multi-axis configurations.
- Extensive parameter set for tailoring behavior to specific applications.
Applications- Transfer systems
- Pick & Place
- Dispensing equipment
- Screw tightening machines
- Medical, semiconductor, entertainment and many other industrial fields (used in millions of applications)
Notes on Performance Comparisons- Energy / current: CM1 draws only required current and can reduce power consumption compared with conventional open-loop stepper control (internal comparison).
- Noise: designed for quieter, smoother rotation versus typical stepper implementations.
- Temperature: lower heat generation through encoder feedback and optimized control.
