Precision motion control

FAQ

• Can your controllers achieve the control bandwidth and jitter performance required for maglev nanopositioning stages?

  Yes. Prodrive motion controllers deliver the high control bandwidth and ultra‑low jitter required for stable maglev nanopositioning. By combining fast current and position loops with low‑latency real‑time execution, our solutions enable performance that is limited by sensor resolution rather than controller dynamics, even in multi‑DOF maglev systems.

• Do your drives supports dual loop?

  Our drives can support 2 encoders per axis regardless of the hall sensors to generate optimal control loops.

• What types of motion controllers do you offer and how do they integrate with third-party systems?

  We offer high-performance motion controllers that support multi-axis synchronization and advanced control algorithms. They integrate seamlessly with third-party systems via EtherCAT standard communication protocol that runs at 20 or 10kHz.

• Do you provide simulation tools or digital twins for motion system design?

  We provide simulation capabilities and digital twin models of our products to validate system performance virtually before implementation, reducing development time and risk.

• Do you offer global support and on-site commissioning services?

  Yes, we provide worldwide technical support, remote assistance, and on-site commissioning services to ensure smooth installation and operation.

• What is the lead time for samples of your off-the-shelf products?

  We keep most off-the-shelf products in stock, so sample orders typically ship within 1 week.

• I usually design my control algorithm with Simulink\Matlab. How can I incorporate it within your controller?

  We’ve implemented a special tool in our PMP that allows you to implement the code generated by the Simulink\Matlab inside our controller.
