We have to build a motion control system for a scanning system. I must prove and test in Canada ( 110 VAC- 60 Hz then ship to a country with
a different electrical system 205 VAC-50 Hz
The motion control is fairly tight 25.4 mm per second with variable to 8mm per second.
This is speed is monitored by a optical encoder. The load on the conveyor is 100 Kg total.
With a 300 to 1 gear reduction.
I have looked at many speed controls for AC motors but I have not found one that can be used for both electrical systems.
I am entertaining the use of a DC motor and controller, with a "universal" linear power supply with settings from 110 VAC to 205 VAC.
The out-of country application will not have the services of a technician, so the change over must be simple.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Best regards
