TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH have introduced the TMCM-1617-GRIP-REF, an open-source reference design that simplifies the development of industrial robotic end-of-arm tooling (EoAT).
The TMCM-1617-GRIP-REF integrates hardware-based field-oriented control (FOC) and three communication ports to shrink the design size of EoAT by 3x and cut development time in half, TRINAMIC says.The TMCM-1617-GRIP-REF reference design includes the following additional features:
- Motor control algorithms
- IO-Link communications and other protocol stacks
- Software-configurable I/Os
- Real-time adjustment of TMCM-1617 servo drive modes, including gripper position and gripping force
- Compact 4,197 mm² size
