Designed for maximal ease-of-use in OEM applications, it is delivered with all necessary cables and hardware and is ready to use in minutes. The controller's two channels can either be operated independently or mixed to set the direction and rotation of a vehicle by coordinating the motion on each side of the vehicle. The motors may be operated in open or closed loop speed mode. Using low-cost position sensors, they may also be set to operate as heavy-duty position servos. The AX3500 may be ordered in one of many assembly options, depending whether optical encoder input is needed and depending on the application’s power, number of channels, and thermal requirements. The AX2550 can be reprogrammed in the field with the latest features by downloading new operating software from Roboteq’s web site. Numerous safety features are incorporated into the controller to ensure reliable and safe operation in the most demanding mobile robotic vehicle applications. Applications • Terrestrial and Underwater Robotic Vehicles • Automatic Guided Vehicles • Police and Military Robots • Hazardous Material Handling Robots • Telepresence Systems • Animatronics • Industrial Controls Key Features Benefits Dual MCU digital design Accurate, reliable, and fully programmable operation.
