VOICE COIL ACTUATOR (VCA) DEVELOPER’S KIT DATA SHEET

PublishTime：2021-12-09

●Product Description
■The Voice Coil Actuator (VCA) Developer’s Kit from BEI Kimco is a completely self-contained kit including a VCA with built-in feedback sensor and a programmable controller with motion control software that runs on the user’s local PC. The kit allows users to take advantage of the inherent benefits of VCAs without needing to separately specify the necessary electronics for a complete control system.
■Using this invaluable device, customers can quickly develop an actuation system and demonstrate a working design concept. Users can control velocity, position, force, oscillation, and acceleration in applications such as valve control, beam steering, clamping, and multi-axis servo control, when using multiple controllers. The controller has been upgraded to include an I/O board, improving its functionality by allowing users to easily interface with the controller to adjust commands given to the VCA. The I/O board features: 4 digital inputs, 1 LED per digital input and 2 analog inputs.
■Six models of VCAs are available for use in the developer’s kit. Each VCA is paired with the appropriate controller PCBA that is recommended to drive the particular VCA. The controller can operate in open or closed loop modes, is internally compensated for high linearity, and supports coordinated multi-axis applications. A flash drive is included in the kit which provides the necessary links to all software and set-up instructions, including driver downloads, user manual, specification sheets for the VCA’s and a configuration file that can be used to drive the VCA for easy start-up.
■The customized MotionLab software program by Ingenia Motion Control provides a simplified programming environment and example programs such as program flow, motion, oscillation, timers, memory and I/O access. An oscillation motion test is available for simple built-in self-testing capability.

●About Voice Coil Actuators (VCA)
■VCAs are direct-drive, cog-free devices used for providing highly accurate linear or rotary motion. By virtue of their high acceleration and the absence of commutation, VCAs offer numerous advantages in such applications as medical, semiconductor and industrial controls or systems that demand high precision. They offer virtually unlimited resolution, restricted only by the position feedback system. Additionally they come to stop points with high speed and accuracy. VCAs are also a ‘clean’ technology, well-suited to those applications requiring such operation.
