  Loadwheel Carriage Retrofit Motor and Drive
 
Is it time to replace your DC drive system?
 
DC Loadwheel carriage drives have these inherent deficiencies:
Full speed advance and retract is relatively slow.
A large velocity command is required to overcome carriage friction and move the carriage from a stopped state.
The motor brake is a major source of problems because it must resist back drive forces of the loaded tire when engaged and then fully release to allow the carriage to move.
Making a small jog movement is difficult due to
1) delay encountered when releasing the brake
2) large velocity setpoint required to "start" motion
    This is especially noticeable when trying to
    make a small load change with a Dynamic
    Calibrator.
When the load tolerance is small, an unload/reload cycle is often the only option if the load is not achieved on the initial move.
