LOGICDATA AND DEWESOFT
Precision and efficiency are critical to delivering high-performance actuator systems and other integrated mechatronic solutions: minimizing waste, improving user experience, and ensuring that customers receive ultimate value for money.
Reliable data is at the heart of the push for efficiency in mechatronics, which is why LOGICDATA has partnered with Dewesoft to take performance testing to the next level. This collaboration has resulted in cutting-edge test benches, which integrate Dewesoft’s advanced data acquisition (DAQ) systems into LOGICDATA’s in-house development processes for brushless motors and linear actuators. This allows for precise analysis and optimization of actuator performance, resulting in superior mechatronic technology for LOGICDATA customers.
LOGICDATA and Dewesoft: Unlocking New Levels of Efficiency
The market for mechatronic systems shows an increasing demand for energy-efficient and high-performance actuators. To work effectively toward these goals, it is essential for mechatronic developers like LOGICDATA to understand the complete power flow within the system. Crucially, the relationship between power in- and output, which is where the Dewesoft partnership comes into play.
As part of its motor development competence, LOGICDATA specializes in small electric motors, for example customized brushless DC motors and servo motors, for specific operating points. The integration of Dewesoft’s test solutions within the design and development processes allows LOGICDATA to analyze the efficiency of each individual component, helping to minimize power losses and maximize output.
“For us, it is imperative to analyze the efficiencies of every single sub-system of the whole power chain to know all power losses and thus identify optimization potential. This focus on continuous improvement shows LOGICDATA’s commitment to innovation, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of performance and durability.”
Universal Testing Systems: the Core of the Partnership
Increasing efficiency within systems and individual mechatronic components is traditionally extremely time-consuming, requiring lengthy measurement setups that have a high risk of errors due to their complexity. Likewise, localizing the exact source of any inefficiency can be demanding without the required analytics tools for detailed insights.
Together, LOGICDATA and Dewesoft decided to work on a series of solutions to improve the accuracy of mechatronic system testing while dramatically reducing set-up times. By developing test benches that are customized precisely for the testing of LOGICDATA components, our in-house experts have been able to optimize performance more effectively.
One such example is LOGICDATA’s test bench, which was designed to test numerous variants of different mechatronic systems, such as motors, brakes, gear boxes, and even entire drive chains. The use of a slide rail system makes mounting and demounting the devices under test faster and more intuitive. In addition, the pluggable connection of all electric signals via the cable interface provides a clear overview of the wiring structure. This has dramatically reduced testing times and enabled LOGICDATA’s engineers to locate and rectify inefficiencies faster, leading to shorter iteration cycles in development.
