How To
Roboteq controllers are capable of solving many motion and robotics issues right off-the-box with only a bit of ingenuity added. In this section you will find useful tips and techniques on how to use the Roboteq controllers to achieve various purposes

Understanding Regeneration PDF Print E-mail

Electric regenerationMotors become generators when forced to turn while no or reduced power is applied. This phenomenon brings interesting benefits in terms of energy efficiency but it also introduces challenges in system design. Understanding the physics and implications of regeneration is critical in many applications.

Using Closed Loop Position Mode to Create Tension Stabilization Systems PDF Print E-mail

Using a simple tension sensor - such as a spring and potentiometer - Roboteq controllers can be used to create electromechanical systems that produce constant pulling or pushing force. These techniques depart from traditional motion control and enable a whole array of innovative force amplification and stabilization applications.

Designing Force-feedback Systems wih Roboteq Controllers PDF Print E-mail

Drive-by-wire or teleoperated systems feel very unnatural to use because they lack the natural feedback the operator receives when turning a steering, presuring an object in his or her hands, or pressing on a pedal. This lack of feedback is uncomfortable in many situations, to outright dangerous in others. Yet force feedback is reasonably simple to implement.
