Aerotech's Soloist is a single-axis servo controller that combines a power supply, amplifier, and
position controller in a single package. The Soloist can control up to four
tasks simultaneously, as well as handle variables and manage I/O, for demanding
production applications. It has high-speed position latch inputs and advanced
data logging capabilities that make it ideal for laboratory, test, and industrial
applications.
The Soloist's human-machine
interface software provides a clear, easy to use platform for controlling the
entire process. A Windows®-based interface provides powerful diagnostic,
development, and analysis tools for OEMs and end-users alike.
Soloists are fully tested
and ready to run right out of the box. Aerotech can integrate the Soloist into
a complete motion system, removing the burden of parameter setup and axis tuning.
It is capable of driving a wide range of motors including brushless, DC servo,
and microsteppers. Brushless motors are sinusoidally commutated to minimize
torque ripple.
The Soloist uses a digital
servo loop with feedforward to tightly track velocity and position trajectories
with virtually zero error. On-board autotuning makes servo tuning simple.
With variables and math
capability, one program can be used to produce a variety of parts by simply
prompting the user for new application data. You can even teach the Soloist
positions with a digitizing joystick.
The Soloist has other built-in
features such as axis calibration and backlash compensation to maximize your
machine's accuracy and precision. The "user units" feature
makes it easy to customize to your specific machine for both linear and rotary
applications.
The Soloist is equipped
with dual encoder inputs so you can tackle master-slave applications or achieve
higher accuracies with dual-loop control. Precise registration-based moves are
also possible because of the fast 0.1 microsecond acknowledge time. The Soloist
easily handles complex functions such as output-on-the-fly and velocity profiling.
