PhotoRobot Motor Drivers - Technical Documentation

‍

The motor driver is an important component of the entire system. In addition to the achieved precision and intelligent control, the supplied power is crucial, as it determines the dynamics of each machine axis and, consequently, the overall productivity of the robotic workstation. As with our control system, we rely on in-house-designed drivers that work optimally with the other components of the entire PhotoRobot ecosystem.

The following table shows the basic specifications of the motor drivers used by PhotoRobot:

Besides mobile devices, PhotoRobot uses the highest safe voltage level (48V) and high currents, delivering the maximum possible power to each robotically controlled axis.

The currents listed in the table are nominal values; during motor operation, they vary with the RPM (and consequently, the output power changes according to a defined characteristic, decreasing as the RPM increases).

The achieved parameters are difficult to compare with other photographic systems on the market because this power series is in a class of its own. It is not appropriate to compare driving a super high-performance luxury sports car; what matters most is the robustness, high precision of control, and renowned reliability—with a comfortable surplus of power in every situation.
