To demonstrate how Automation1 outperforms Aerotech\u2019s previous generation of drive hardware products, the Automation1-XR3 was compared to the A3200 Npaq.<\/p><p>For this comparative test, an unloaded NEMA rotary motor is evaluated with both an Automation1 and an A3200 control system. The unloaded NEMA motor represents an ideal mechanical test condition, enabling the evaluation to highlight the controller performance differences. Tracking error and settle time results do not necessarily translate to every mechanical setup. The two control systems are as defined in Table 1.<\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><em>Table 1.
