If
you are an experienced servo user we would recommend that you first read
Investigating Servo Architectures—Pros and Cons.
This topic presents new information contrasting traditional servo boards
and amplifiers with various types of digital drive architectures, including
the SST servo’s true, closed-loop, torque control architecture.
The Features/Benefits menu
would be the next appropriate area to visit. There, you will learn about
new state-of-the-art features like Adaptive Inertia Matching Technology
(IMT), Regressive Auto Spline (RAS), Anti-Hunt™, low Total Servo Phase
Delay (TSPD), Linear Motor capability, true closed-loop Vector Torque
Control (with sinewave commutation), etc.
After you have finished looking at these performance
features, you might want to survey the engineering and integration tools
available within WorldServo’s SST drives by linking to the QuickSet™ configuration
tool and Real-time Monitor Port features (also on the Features/Benefit
menu.).
You may notice that this site focuses on using
the SST servo systems in position mode (digital step & direction input)
because this mode will give you the best price/performance. However, the
SST servo system is also available in a +/-10V analog input version so
you can get all the benefits of closed-loop vector torque control, true
RMS limiting, sinewave commutation, etc. using a traditional servo control
board.

Even
if you are a servo novice, we would still recommend that you first read
Investigating Servo Architectures—Pros and Cons
to get an overview of how various servo control options compare and
then go to the Features/Benefits menu. Then, rather
than jumping straight to features, you will want to focus first on the
benefits that you will obtain from using the SST servo.
Having first reviewed the benefits such as
Ultra-smooth Motion, Reduced Wear on Mechanics, Faster Moves and Settling
Time, Easy Electrical Integration, etc., you will have a better context
for understanding the corresponding features. Each benefit is linked
to all of its supporting features (and each feature to the benefits
it supports) so you will be able to navigate quickly to find out the
information important to your application.
