INDUSTRIES / MOTORS & MOTION CONTROL

See the measurements behind every motor run.

Bring motor characterization, encoder checks, and drive measurements into one history. Compare like-for-like test conditions across stations and batches to distinguish a changing product from a changing bench.

Testing challenges

01

Keep the operating points.

Compare current, speed and temperature under the recorded load conditions.

02

Identify the complete assembly.

Link the motor, encoder and drive configuration to each run.

03

Compare equivalent benches.

Review matching procedures across stations before deciding what to retest.

WORKFLOW EXAMPLE

Compare a motor assembly across reference and load checks.

An illustrative workflow using measurements from your existing motor test equipment. Your engineers control the operating sequence and any follow-up test.

Keep motor and encoder identity with the load conditions at each operating point.

  1. Record the assembly

    Link the motor and encoder serials, drive configuration, and procedure version to the run.

  2. Capture the operating points

    Collect speed, current, and temperature measurements from the defined bench sequence.

  3. Compare equivalent runs

    Review the assembly’s measurements alongside earlier units tested under the same conditions.

ALERT & NEXT STEP · EXAMPLE

Current measurements at one operating point have shifted from the established baseline.

Send the affected series to the test engineer. Compare temperature, fixture, and component history, then choose a reference run or a targeted motor retest to check the hypothesis.

RESOURCES

Start with a relevant procedure.

Motor reference characterization

Record the motor identity and electrical measurements from a defined reference condition.

PROCEDURE IDEA · EXAMPLE

Motor encoder alignment check

Keep measured encoder offsets and the motor assembly configuration in the same run.
