Advanced mechanics
iXblue uses best-in-class tools and processes for mechanical design and finite-element-analysis providing:
- Higher resonant frequencies resulting in wider bandwidth
- Best-in-class precision of mechanical structures
- Modularity of design between all Series for better commonality and lower upgrade costs
Advanced electronics
iXblue pioneered the use of key state-of-the-art technologies in motion simulation:
- Low cogging AC direct drive motors designed for enhanced stability
- High performance drives with minimum ripple
- High performance optical encoders with high resolution (< 0.02 arc sec)
- High quality standard or custom slip-rings, and fiber-optic, gas and fluid rotary joints
- Proprietary model based digital electronics for improved positioning and rate accuracy
Unrivaled control
iXblue has patented advanced axis control technologies that are implemented within the nGine controller:
- Auto-tuning of controller parameters
- Adaptive sine bandwidth enhancement with minimal attenuation and phase-shift
- Anti-coupling between axis
- Advanced unbalance and fault detection
- Auto-tuned anti-cogging
- Real-time built-in-test
