I am working on a single axis and a dual axis servo machines that are related. I am going to use a PC bus based motion card (galil, MEI, etc.) and some pc based control software. I have the option of specifying encoder or resolver but am not sure what the benefits of each technology. Being that these machine will be going into an automtive plant environment being robust both mechanically and electically are key. Cost is also a bit of an issue, but not as important as reliability.
Question 2: Same system as above. What should you look at in a servo drive? currently I am considering the following as the requirements
Digital Drive (no pot. tuning)
High voltage bus (460v Drive)
20 amp continuous 40 amps peak (min)
Communications port to talk to PC
What else should be taking into account. I tend to think of these as somewhat of a commodity item espceailly since i am using a PC motion card). I have seen a large price range $3500-2100 and would like to make sure the lower cost options will be perform well.
