11. 11 of 28 Benchmarking Cont. Benchmarking Conclusions New turret design should be designed around a 12 station turret Need to strive to attain an indexing time of less than 0.15 seconds

12. 12 of 28 Traditional Motors vs. Torque Motors Direct drive with torque motor Motor 1FW3.. Gear box Customer machine Traditional drive with motor and gear box  Large outside diameter allows for more poles, and windings thus allowing for higher torques.  Large diameter means higher torque can be generated with the same power input.

13. 13 of 28 Torque Motor Technology Reduced Cost Improved Reliability High Accuracy & Repeatability High Efficiency

14. 14 of 28 Torque Motor Benefits Characteristic: Short compact design Gear unit / belt drives eliminated Hollow shaft design Few mechanical components No torsional backlash Increased rigidity Customer Benefit : Simple integration into the machine Easy to service (no gear box oil) Improved efficiency Flexible mounting concepts Advantage in mounting and logistics Improved repeatability Improved control characteristics Low noise system Increased dynamic performance
