Recent Advances at Myostat

Built-in Contouring/Co-ordinated Motion

The Cool Muscle CM1 and CM2 series Integrated Servo Motors can be quickly and easily configured to run multi-axis systems designed for dispensing or cutting. Paths can be stored in the motor and activated via digital I/O, or streamed continuously from a host device. Your machine can run highly accurate set patterns without the need for complicated PLC or HMI programming.

Technologies Important to Your Machine

It's What's Inside that Counts!

The Cool Muscle is an Integrated servo system. All of the necessary hardware and electronics are combined into one package.

Though the integrated package offers many opportunities for your machine, don't forget about the modern control software that resides in the Cool Muscle's RISC CPU.

One of the latest advances to the Cool Muscle is the addition of the robust H Infinity controller. Unlike PID systems, the H Infinity controller handles changing load dynamics with grace. From inside Cool Works, our interface software, the H Infinity controller can be run through an auto tuning system to quickly assess your mechanism's load and configure the control system for optimal responsiveness.

Closing the Loop with your Load Cell

The Cool Muscle integrated servo motor has a dedicated PI gain system on analog inputs, used to tune Load Cell analog feedback into the motor. You can now close not only an external position loop, but also an external force/torque loop providing fine-grain torque control for your next application.

The Second Generation Cool Muscle has Arrived!

The CM2 Integrated AC Servo

Meet the CM2 Integrated AC Servo

The CM2 is the latest Cool Muscle integrated servo system from Muscle Corporation.

A solution which combines all the features required for modern motion control, the CM2 includes an AC servo motor, 50000 count encoder, AC servo amplifier, 64Mhz RISC-based motion controller with PLC functionality, and an intelligent single/three phase100-240VAC power supply. All in the motor itself!
