MEI, Motion Engineering, Inc.
MEI V6U/DSP 8 Axis DSP with optional OPTO-VME I/O daughter board.
based high performance motion controller including optional OPTO-VME I/O board.
Advanced features include C-programming Libraries, electronic gearing and camming, dual-loop control, circular and linear interpolation, and trapezoidal, S-curve, parabolic, and custom motion profiles. The PCX/DSP allows motion control programs to share execution between the on-board DSP (for numerically-intensive real-time functions) and the host (for non-real-time functions). This results in an ideal division of labor with minimal host intervention. Factory cost = $3600
New, Unused in original Factory Boxes (Image OEM's - 20 available) $795/ea.

A note regarding the company:
° First, the good news: Beautifully manufactured products, consistent design philosophy, and solid engineering of truly high performance controllers which can compete against most other offerings.
° Now the bad: In our interaction with them, I can truly say we have come up against a truly "Bitchy" company. Rude, non supportive and archly and imperiously dismissive of all but large OEM users. This is my personal opinion resulting from interacting with personell at trade shows and atttempting to relate on the phone, mind you, but unless you are an a self-sufficient programmer, don't bother with MEI.
° IF you are already using MEI board products, then these are for you, and please enjoy the savings. If you have a solid knowledge base of both software and motion kinetics, these are for you. If you can get a positive response from the company, then it makes sense to purchase these boards. Otherwise, it is best to let MEI wheel around in its own self-importance and ignore them as a viable source of motion control for development or use
° If you are a small, starting up OEM, we can offer several low cost alternatives of extremely high performance DSP based systems not listed on this web site. You will not be disappointed. Call us.

1) MFM Model BDC 0610 This as an amplifier with an interesting history. Thousands of these amps found their way into precision instruments costing $100,000+ and requiring the minimum in EMI and the maximum in smoothness. Practical as always, the MFM company (now a part of Bayside Motion) also gave the user the option of a full digital output. Nonetheless, the grea majority of these drives were used for spindles from 0 - 30kRPM, especially ultra-smooth ABEC7 and Air Spindles for diamond turning, optics and disk research. Shown in the image are the BNC inputs for external frequency synchronizing signal. Bi-Directional. Accepts motor encoder signals. Generally the max RPM is limited by EMF rather than frequency considerations. Reliable drive.

All connectors on the model 62 are mounted on one face in order to minimize the space needed for cables. Along with RS232 control, the model 62 also has an analog torque mode and TTL inputs for enable, direction and external frequency." MCS LA2000, Model 62 UNUSED = $775

----------------- Further details -----------------------------
Canon Laser Encoder Motor including:
1) the Standard Of The Industry Canon 81000 cycle encoder
2) mounted on the shaft of a +/-30 degree moving coil motor.

The Results of combining these parts in this assembly at the factory are:
1) VERY high stiffness coupling the motor coil and the encoder,
2) VERY small deviation from linearity and centricity (Hey ! - lets call it "low wow and flutter"),
3) Factory centered encoder wheel
4) Strong, stiff bearing set to support the shaft,
5) an assembly which can be used as a mechanically rugged external encoder only, if you desire
6) precision stainless steel flange servo mount
Interface cables: Length = 18"

SIN = 81000 cycles/revolution 1vpp
COS = 81000 cycles/revolution 1vpp
Power:
+5VDC/200ma
-5VDC/100ma
Resolution: Specification = 81000 Sin/Cos Cycles/Rev
With simple comparators, you can derive 324,000 zero-crossings per rev, plus an additional 324,000 Absolute Value sin-cos crossings per rev, for a total of 648,000 equally spaced edges per rev.(648,000/360 = 1800 edges/degree = 30 edges/min = 0.5 edges/sec)
Factory Stated Resolution specification with interpolator = 1.6nm at R=56mm (same as 2.86mm at 1km).
This spec implies [pi x 56= 176mm]/1.6nm = 110 million edges/rev at the system level. Each edge = 1.6nm/56mm = 2.86x10-8 radian/edge = 0.012 sec/edge, or 82 edges/arcsec, or an interpolation ratio of about 600:1 per cycle in the system electronics.

   0.20" between legs of "U" between emitter and sensor,
   0.21" clearance from bottom of "U" to bottom of beam,
   Beam size: 0.070" x 0.020".

Transmitter side emitter is an LED requiring 5-20ma of excitation current. (For synchronous signal applications, pulse this input) The receiver side sensor has built-in hysteresis, provides a TTL output. With three leads: 1)+5, 2) Output, 3) ground, (and consumes less than 5ma ).

Applications: You will find these useful everywhere in the lab as high voltage isolation, floating interfaces, and yes, as mechanical motion limit sensors. One suggestion for step motor systems: Let the opto double as the opto-isolator for the step pulses in a "step-up", "step-down" configuration: When the beam is interrupted, step signals (in that travel direction) will be interrupted, therefore stopping the motion (in that direction).

DC SERVO MOTORS

1) DC PM "0-15V" motor: For education, "throw-away" applications and the truly cheap at heart, this relatively low speed permanent magnet motor was designed for use at constant speed in disk drives and is, therefore, not completely unreliable. Bronze bushing at the output end of the shaft. Buy 5 for $7.50.

2) 12 VDC Motor-Tach: Also from the Disk Drive Industry, this 0-2000 rpm motor combines a DC PM Motor on the same shaft as an interesting tachometer. The tach output is a sine wave voltage with 16 cycles per shaft rev., therefore it can supply a reliable signal to allow the rotation of the motor to be phase-locked to an arbitrary frequency source. This is useful inthe construction of phase-locked rotary optical choppers, and other applications. The tach voltage also varies with rpm, and if rectified can be used in the same way as any other voltage generating tach for simple speed regulating circuits. Permaanently lubricated Bronze Bushings: $9.95
