The Linz Center of Mechatronics is your research and development partner in the field of mechatronics. From idea, scientific research, and feasibility studies to the introduction of series production: We provide prototypes and small lot sizes and offer examination and measurement services for your systems and components. Competencies range from electric- and hydraulic drive systems, optimal system control, to the area of sensors and communication. A major part of the center is focused on the development of electric drives and hybridization of the drivetrain. All relevant competencies such as simulation, optimization, electronics and prototyping interact to implement the best suited drive for the application – efficient, robust, and cost-effective. In the field of electrical drive systems LCM provides:

E-DRIVE MOTOR DESIGN

Major complexity reduction by the use of our SyMSpace optimizer. The design of electrical machines requires complex simulations and optimizations. The overall system (electromagnetics, rotor dynamics, thermal conditions, etc.) counts as much as the details (magnetic losses, torque ripple, current harmonics, etc.). With the SyMSpace MotorBox, LCM also offers a comprehensive motor design software tool. For more details see also https://symspace.lcm.at/

POWER ELECTRONICS

E-drives with matched power electronics. Optimized power electronics allows highest efficiency, power density and robustness. With different designs, communication interfaces, safety mechanisms, switching topologies and voltage levels LCM gets the most out of your drive solution.

CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL MACHINES

Simple control of your drive train, including sensorless algorithms. Only the optimal control of the electric machine exploits all potentials. From simple speed controllers to optimized current curves or to sensorless control. X2C is available as commercial tool and a free community edition, available at https://x2c.lcm.at.
