Company introduces new line of faster and more powerful controllers
The first in the company's new Accelera Series, this controller has a 32-bit Risc-based clock mulplying processor with DSP functionality. They can take encoder inputs up to 22 MHz, command execution speeds as low as 40 microseconds and servo update rates as low as 24 microseconds per axis. They come in one through eight-axis formats, and have a maximum stepper pulse output of 6 MHz. Each axis is user-configurable for stepper or servo motor operation. It is easy to convert to the DMC-18 × 6, since it has almost the same programming language and 100-pin SCSI connector as the company's previous controllers.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
