Multi Axis Digital Motion Control System ACUTROL®3000
ACUTROL®3000 is the leading motion control system for high precision single and multi-axis inertial test and
Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) simulation platforms. Using state of the art hardware, an easy to use Graphical
User Interface (GUI) and advanced digital control algorithms, it provides high precision control for new motion
simulator systems or can be used to upgrade an existing system. ACUTROL®3000 offers unparalleled
flexibility, versatility, reliability, and performance.
Flexibility Reliability
Adaptable servo topology allows Digital pressure and torque loops reduce
customized control strategies hardware complexity
Easily configured digital filters permit Only one encoder for both position
optimum servo tuning detection and motor commutation
Example code, simulation utilities, and improves MTBFs
demo kits enable application development Over 700 systems delivered proves high
before delivery of the actual motion system product dependability
Configurable events based on limit tests of
system variables
Versatility Performance
Ethernet connection provides the ability to Compensation of deterministic cogging
integrate simulators into facility networks and position errors using look-up tables
Data Logging and Data Playback at the results in high position accuracy and
ACUTROL®3000 frame rate make smooth rate performance
accurate reproduction of motion possible Advanced vector processing algorithms
Even without a real-time interface, a provide asynchronous, multi-rate, real time
customer Freeze pulse can trigger a communication, ensuring high fidelity
motion data snapshot with an aperture of motion simulation
