Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Motor Commutation Made Easy
Quantum Devices, Inc. is announcing the introduction of a time saving programming device that will greatly speed Brushless DC motor (BLDC) communication programming. It is primarily intended to reduce production assembly and configuration time for OEMs that require incremental encoders to precisely control motion and position in the equipment they produce.
Quantum Devices, Inc. is announcing the introduction of a time saving programming device that will greatly speed Brushless DC motor (BLDC) communication programming. It is primarily intended to reduce production assembly and configuration time for OEMs that require incremental encoders to precisely control motion and position in the equipment they produce.
The new offering consists of a QM35 EZ-Comm, a low-profile incremental encoder that has a full complement of commutation signals built into the base product and a hand-held programming module. The product offers a selection 4, 6, 8, 10 or 14 pole commutation to accommodate a very extensive variety of BLDC motor designs.
In the past, configuring commutation for BLDC motors was a time-consuming, multi-step process that required a worker to determine the precise angle of permanent magnets on a motor's rotor, and to align this angle with the signals produced by an external commutation device.
These alignment and timing tasks have been greatly simplified by the QM35 EZ-Comm encoder and hand-held programming device. All that is required is the push of a button and two quick rotations of the motor shaft in order to time the motor to the encoder's commutation signals.
The QM35 EZ-Comm encoder is a high performance, low profile modular design that is ideal for high volume OEM applications and priced competitively for all sizes of motion control projects.
Other significant product features include: bearingless modular design and low profile assembled height, resolutions up to 5000 lines per revolution, through bore sizes up to 0.375" diameter, up to 1Mhz frequency response and high noise immunity.
QM35 EZ Comm with programmable commutation is the newest and simplest way to commutate your BLDC motors.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
