Teknic Legacy Products

Teknic continues to advance the state-of-the-art in servo motion control. As a result, new products are engineered to provide greater performance, reliability, and value. Products that are eventually displaced by the introduction of new technology are not simply discontinued—the components continue to be manufactured and supported for as long as parts are reasonably available.

When products are forced into end of life, Teknic's factory engineers work with customers who desire to extend the life of their legacy machines with newer servo components. Some of Teknic's legacy products were available for nearly 30 years before they moved to end of life status.

Legacy Products

When products are forced into end of life, Teknic’s factory engineers work with customers who desire to extend the life of their legacy machines with newer servo components. Some of Teknic’s legacy products were available for nearly 30 years before they moved to end of life status.

Legacy product specifications are available for your information.

Applying the IMT (green trace) eliminates overshoot (pink trace) due to high integrator gain.

The Eclipse drive's torque response is extremely fast and virtually constant regardless of motor speed. The desired instantaneous torque can be delivered immediately upon demand.

Shown here, even a "high-tech" sinewave drive has difficulty producing torque as quickly as necessary for optimal performance, especially when running at speed.

This scope shot shows the commanded velocity (top: 3000RPM/div), tracking accuracy (center: 2 degrees/div) and the actual torque used (bottom: 25% of max torque/div) without the RAS engaged. Notice that the torque required during this move has significant "chatter". With 200ms of dwell between moves, reciprocating this move required 95% of the motor’s RMS capability.

The effect of the RAS on the same move’s tracking accuracy and torque usage is dramatic. Notice the freedom from "torque chatter" when the RAS is engaged—this is one reason why the RAS makes motion so quiet. Also, the RMS load on the motor was reduced by 37%!

Here’s a typical way you might use the Event Strip Charts. Let’s say you have an axis that has been working well, but suddenly develops a large tracking error. A sudden spike in tracking error can be confusing. But a glance at the Event Strip Charts shows that the spike starts shortly after the drive goes into voltage saturation. This points to a power supply problem.

APS software is a convenient tool for system configuration, operation and troubleshooting.

The APS Script Development Interface provides a simple interface for programming sophisticated motion sequences.

The IEX-808 component provides 8-in/8-out I/O expansion for only $6 per I/O point.
