| Question ? | Answer | |
|---|---|---|
|
Is the |
Absolutely, depending on your chassis and applications. You may need to fabricate brackets or drill some holes in your vehicle / Robot chassis. | |
| On the WA™, can I use a different electric motor? | Yes, some motors may be suitable, but the motor may not be as compact. | |
| Does the WA™ have a mechanical brake? | The WA employing some controllers can perform regenerative braking. The WA possesses no other braking ability. | |
|
What is the |
This is the | |
|
How many |
The minimum is one Hi2WAM. The maximum is depends on the system design. | |
| What represents the maximum number of Hi2WAM™ units per vehicle controller / channel? | The maximum number is 254 Hi2WAM units per vehicle controller / channel, and we will give your purchase a nice discount! Note that you can need more than one controller. | |
| Must the Hi2WAM™ unit be operated off a battery? | No, but it requires the proper DC power for operation. | |
| Can I purchase the wheel drive portion of the Hi2WAM™? | Definitely, we offer just the wheel and motor section of the Hi2WAM for such uses as in Differential drive robots, motorized carts, etc. This is the (WA™) product. | |
|
On the |
We suggest you factor in a 2-3X capacity. If your system was initially sized for a 15 Amp DC circuit, and you are near 10 Amps, feature creep and other accessories may place you over the safety margin. | |
| On the (RESS™) product, how will I know if I trip a breaker or blow a fuse? |
If a circuit protection device opens up to disrupt the flow of power, that system will stop working.
If this is a concern, | |
|
The |
The CGM uses Hypocyclic gear reduction verse the Harmonic gear reduction. This gear reduction design was not intended for applications requiring very low backlash and precise positioning but where a more compact size (and price) was critical. | |
| What is a Robot Base? | (The Robot base or platform) is the lower portion of most Mobile Robots, typically housing the drive and batteries. | |
| What is a Drive or Mobility Drive? | The Drive / Mobility Drive is the sub-system comprising wheels and motors for movement on the surface or floor. | |
