Productivity can be improved by using qGaN modules to control servo motors because they settle faster so more moves per hour can be achieved.
Also, there is very little jerk which improves the smooth running of the device and, as the servo moves to where it is required with much greater accuracy, there is virtually no wasted energy in correcting over runs which is a substantial saving.
Plus, as explained under high power, integrated motors, removing trailing cables is a major safety improvement from a trip hazard perspective. These cables can also act as antenna picking up ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) from high-power welding equipment which can cause errors. Without the need for cables, faraday cages can be used to shield the equipment from other sources of EMI.
Another big problem source of EMI is from welding equipment and we have a solution for this too. Our ZEST technology enables high frequency, high power GaN transistors to be used to deliver the huge current required at the welding tip with a very short travel distance of 0.2m rather 5m so there is very little EMI generated and very little power loss.
Other application areas
High power integrated motors
Not only does QPT technology cut the power requirements of electrical motors, it also solves a major industry problem of the size of VFD with a VFD design that is around 20 times smaller than today’s VFDs.
Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles or EV are an ideal market for our technology especially as it enables energy re-capture via regenerative breaking.
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC)
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), uses a huge number of electric motors that are being driven with sub-optimal efficiency.
