Optimizer

Pre-filtering the components (gear unit and motor) with the optimizer

Optimizer 1:

After the optimization, the TC3 Motion Designer suggests suitable motor and gear types.

Activate optimizer:

  • Then click on Show optimization settings. (image on the left).

You have successfully opened the settings window for the gear unit optimizer.

To use the optimizer settings, you must first enable them (1).

In the safety factor settings (2), you can select your desired nominal safety, as well as the maximum safety of the components.

The gear filter (3) offers choices for the manufacturer and the gear type (see Manual selection). Activate your selection by left-clicking in the box.

Under the motor settings (5) first select whether the motor is subject to hygiene legislation and whether it should have a fan or a holding brake.

In step (6) you now define:

  • Manufacturer
  • Feedback system and
  • Wave definition

Once you have specified your motor, you can enter the optimizer settings (4):

  • Speed and torque load of the transmission
  • Priority of the above setting
    The criteria in the selection list are weighted based on these priorities.

 

Optimizer 2:

Finally, under step (7) you define:

  • Mass inertia ratio
  • Maximum speed and torque load
  • Performance and price of your motor.
  • Specify priorities for all settings.

You have successfully configured the optimizer for the gear unit and the motor.

Selecting the components (gear unit and motor)

Once you have made the settings in the optimizer, the appropriate components appear in the selection list on the right of the user interface (see screenshot below). The selection list contains specific data of possible motors and gear units, sorted by the optimization criterion.

The green, yellow and red colors indicate the suitability of the gear unit in relation to the previously selected motion profile. Only select components that are highlighted in yellow or green should be selected!

Preparing a data sheet:

  • Right-click on the selected component.
    A new menu window opens.
  • Left-click on “Create data sheet”.
