ServoSizer - How It Works




The order of the working sections is the order in which you enter data and run the analysis.  A Navigation Bar (not shown) on the left side of the window shows the four sections in the order of use.  The ServoSizer is divided in to 4 working sections:

1. Axis Design (including mechanical component selection)

In this section you choose the type of mechanical components you believe will be needed in your system to go along with an electric motor.  The ServoSizer provides a choice of 12 different mechanical components including gears, lead screws, belts/pulley, etc. Depending on the components you choose the ServoSizer takes in to account the motion characteristics of each device in its final motor selection.



When you choose any mechanical component, you must enter the required motion characteristics of the device for the ServoSizer to properly take it in to account when analyzing the axis and motion profile. The ServoSizer prompts you for the necessary specifications and allows you to add additional characteristics (optional) that will improve the accuracy of the analysis.

Once you have set up the axis, you are now ready to enter your move profile.


2. Move (Velocity) Profile

By simply entering a mover (velocity) profile, the program will automatically update the velocity and torque graphs on the left side of the window. The program allows you to create a 'quick' profile or you may select move characteristics for 26 move segments. One of the many sophisticated features allows you to associate the work load or force with any one or all of the 26 profiles.



You may refine the profile according to your application needs. Behind the scenes, as you entered data, the program has been constantly calculating the ideal motor specifications to meet your axis and motion profile needs. Next you can move to the motor selection area and see the generated ideal specs.


3. Motor/Drive Selection

By matching the ideal specifications with a product database, specific solutions (motor and associated drive), by manufacturer and by component part number can be identified from the MotionInfo Global Motion Component Registry database. 8 motor technologies are included in the database which include brush, brushless, stepper and ac induction technologies.



Solutions are also ranked (color highlights best solution in picture) based on how well the components meet the critical performance specification of the application.  A ranking number in percent is presented for each of the top 20 solutions. (100% is a perfect match.)


4. Application Specific Report

A detailed application report can be generated.  It will also analyze the axis for possible errors and warnings.

This report can then be printed out and saved in your system for future analysis or e-mailed.  If problems arise in your analysis that you believe are the fault of the program, you may e-mail the exact set up of your application to a MotionInfo ServoSizer technician to analyze the problem.



MotionInfo will provide an additional service, for a reasonable fee, where we will use the ServoSizer to analyze your axis and motion requirements and provide you the report, saving you the trouble of doing it yourself.
