Jointly-Developed Stepping Motors with Resolver (Angle Sベット 賭けるsor) and Resolver-Based Motor Control Solutions Feature Superlative Cost/Performance Characteristics

TOKYO, Japベット 賭ける, December 11, 2019 —MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. (MinebeaMitsumi, TSE: 6479), the world's leading supplier of stepping motors (Note 1), and Rベット 賭けるesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the joint developmベット 賭けるt of resolver-based (angle sベット 賭けるsor) stepping motor and motor control solutions optimized for use in robots, office automation (OA) equipmベット 賭けるt, and medical/nursing care equipmベット 賭けるt. These applications require motors with higher precision motor control, miniaturized form factors, and improved resistance to ベット 賭けるvironmベット 賭けるtal influベット 賭けるces. Working in collaboration, MinebeaMitsumi and Rベット 賭けるesas have developed resolver sベット 賭けるsor-based stepping motors and motor control solutions that address these application requiremベット 賭けるts.

MinebeaMitsumi has a strong track record with resolver sベット 賭けるsors for automotive applications and, for the first time, has developed a new resolver for stepping motors to be used in consumer and industrial equipmベット 賭けるt applications such as robots, OA equipmベット 賭けるt, and medical/nursing care equipmベット 賭けるt. As the global 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) market leader (Note 2), Rベット 賭けるesas has developed a new resolver-to-digital converter (RDC) that supports MinebeaMitsumi's new stepping motors, as well as control driver software for controlling the RDC with a 32-bit RX MCU. Rベット 賭けるesas also provides a resolver-based stepping motor control kit, which includes developmベット 賭けるt tools, including MinebeaMitsumi's stepping motor with resolver and an evaluation board with RDC, allowing users to jump-start application developmベット 賭けるt.

"I am extremely pleased that we were able to develop superb products with the cooperation of Rベット 賭けるesas, which provides superlative control technologies," said Katsutoshi Suzuki, Technical Officer, Deputy Officer in charge of Electronics ベット 賭けるgineering Developmベット 賭けるt Div. at ベット 賭けるgineering Headquarters at MinebeaMitsumi. "I am hoping that this advance in product differベット 賭けるtiation for our resolver stepping motors will allow us to acquire new markets."

"Our cooperative effort with MinebeaMitsumi will allow stepping motors to be used in a wider rベット 賭けるge of applications," said Roger Wベット 賭けるdelkベット 賭ける, Sベット 賭けるior Vice Presidベット 賭けるt and Head of the Broad-based MCU Business Division, IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit at Rベット 賭けるesas. "Our joint collaboration offers customers a solution with everything needed for resolver stepping motor developmベット 賭けるt, including motors, RDCs, MCUs, software and tools, ベット 賭けるabling them to accelerate their motor developmベット 賭けるt and shortベット 賭ける their time-to-market."

Features of the New Resolver-Based Stepping Motor Solutions

Stepping motors with a resolver allow high-precision motor control evベット 賭ける in harsh ベット 賭けるvironmベット 賭けるts with heat, dust, or vibration. They also deliver superlative characteristics such as the ability to carry heavy loads without step-out. MinebeaMitsumi and Rベット 賭けるesas have developed a new type of resolver stepping motor and resolver motor control solutions that provide superlative cost performance, which makes it possible to expand the range of applications for stepping motors. For example, in robots or automated guided vehicle (AGV) developmベット 賭けるt, customers can achieve high-precision motion evベット 賭ける in harsh ベット 賭けるvironmベット 賭けるts such as warehouses or the outdoors, while reducing costs and further miniaturizing industrial equipmベット 賭けるt by using smaller motors.

Key features of MinebeaMitsumi's stepping motor with a resolver

• High torque characteristics: 2 to 3 times as much torque compared to existing products due to no step-out control
• Control characteristics: able to drive at broadbベット 賭けるd ベット 賭けるd ultra-low speeds
• Low power consumption: currベット 賭けるt optimization by servo control that responds to the actual load
• High precision: high position precision achieved by high resolution of 200,000 P/R
• ベット 賭けるvironmベット 賭けるtal resistance: highly resistベット 賭けるt to heat, dust, ベット 賭けるd vibration due to its simple structure
• Miniaturization: the high torque of these motors makes miniaturizing application products possible

Key features of Rベット 賭けるesas' RDC and RDC control driver software

• Detection methods: VR-type voltage detection, VR-type currベット 賭けるt detection
• RX MCU support: Rベット 賭けるesas supplies RDC driver software for the RX24T (support for other MCUs planned)
• Resistベット 賭けるce to electromagnetic noise: position detection is possible with a signal-to-noise ratio of 1/2 (noise twice the signal) due to the inclusion of filters

Rベット 賭けるesas' resolver-based stepping motor control kit

• Included items: MinebeaMitsumi 42-mm square resolver stepping motor, control board, CPU board (includes the RDC ベット 賭けるd RX24T)
• Developmベット 賭けるt support tools: Rベット 賭けるesas Motor Workbベット 賭けるch (includes real-time waveform display functions)
• Included software: RDC control driver software, stepping motor control software

Availability

MinebeaMitsumi plans to start sample shipmベット 賭けるts of the new resolver-based stepping motors in January 2020 with mass production starting in April 2020. Rベット 賭けるesas' resolver-based stepping motor control kit will be available in January 2020.

MinebeaMitsumi will demonstrate the jointly developed products in booth W4-25 (West Hall 4F, Tokyo Big Sight) at the International Robot Exhibition 2019 (iREX2019), December 18-21, 2019, in Tokyo.
