Industrial Robots

Today's factory robots are the engines of industrial process automation

 

 

New types of robots will be designed to work alongside people in factories in a collaborative manner taking advantage of the best of human and machine intelligence and capabilities to optimize manufacturing processes and increase quality. These new collaborative robots will work in direct interaction with people with a high level of safety measures built in. ST provides solutions to enable this.

Three-phase motor control evaluation board

The STEVAL-IHM023V3 is a universal, fully evaluated and populated design consisting of a three-phase inverter bridge based on STMicroelectronics’ 600 V IGBT STGP10H60DF in a TO-220 package mounted on a heatsink, and the L6390 high-voltage high-side and low-side driver featuring an integrated comparator for hardware protection features such as over-current and over-temperature. Learn more »

 

Motor Control Software Development Kit

ST’s STM32 offers the performance of the industry-standard Cortex®-M core at the service of vector (or field-oriented) control (FOC) algorithms, widely used in high-performance drives. The STM32 PMSM FOC SDK (STSW-STM32100), which includes the PMSM FOC FW library and ST MC Workbench, allows the user to evaluate the STM32 performance in applications driving single or dual Field Oriented Control of 3-phase Permanent Magnet motors (PMSM, BLDC). Learn more »
