Nippon Pulse offers custom-designed motion controllers to streamline applications and reduce cable mess

Nippon Pulse now offers new service for the OEM design engineers — the creation of custom-designed motion controller boards that use the Nippon Pulse Commander core for multi-axis applications. The boards can be designed to meet unique specifications, helping streamline the design process to bring a new product to market faster or reduce the manufacture and testing time on an existing product.

Shown here is a motion-controller design before and after the integration of a custom Nippon Pulse PCB to simplify interconnects and reduce subcomponent count.

Custom motion controller designs are advantageous when an application has been developed, tested, and is ready to move toward wider manufacture. They are meant to reduce cost and improve reliability of the product by simplifying or eliminate interconnecting between components. The custom design will contain all components necessary to operate such as drives, controllers, safety, and I/O. It can then be put into the completed application design, to ramp up to production faster.

A valued customer said their custom Nippon Pulse motion controller board is giving them consistency with their application, far fewer cables, and has reduced their overall manufacturing and testing time by more than 50%.

A custom motion control board is suitable for any application design that needs multiple axes of movement, or has many I/Os, such as laser engraving, 3D printing, vending machines, semiconductor processing, life science applications, ATMs, gaming machines, or medical lab automation.
