Help with 3dof Motion platform - new project

Hi all..


first of all thank you all that helped my with my previous hydraulic simulator attempt project..

I have a new toy and hoping to get some help from you guys...

i have purchased a simuline motion platform as untested and just received it..

now i have started taking it a apart and realised my worst fear..

the motors have absolutely no inscriptions on them, no references, no info.. it's like they been hand made for the platform..


i have attached pictures i have taken so far..

the motor have 6 cores going in to it but 3 seems to be joined together giving me 3 to connect to a psu/drive?

also has a db15 which brings feedback (resolver ?/)
and a DB9 which brings top and bottom stop sensors..

now can anyone help me find out what voltage and how can I control these motors?

I was hoping i could buy 3 drives to connect to them and then get a arduino to control them...

the platform is very solidly built but does need a bit of tlc to get right, however i can deal with that once i can control these actuators.

They move in and out nice and smoothly manually so hoping they in good condition.

Help please... can't bear to think i bought another white elephant..

cheers lads

Hi, IMHO first you can forget the electronic parts, there is nothing we can help or anyone is familiar with the electronic parts of the actuators you bought. Though without any specs of the motors you will be lost in space.

HI

yes, I understand the electronic drives are a o go and i don't want reuse them if i can't... i am just trying to find help from any expert out here that could maybe know a way to fire up these motors..

if you saying it can't be done then it looks as i bought another white elephant

there is no motor spec anywhere that can be found...

I'm guessing your motor is a single phase AC motor...

But with no motor rating plate or any other details then I don't know how you can tell what voltage it's designed to work with.

Hi

Thanks for the response.

This is where I have a challenge...

There are 6 cores going into the motor windings but 3 are joined together (soldered) and the other 3 connect to the driver board I showed on the picture. I looked more in dept into the driver board and looks as it takes AC voltage and outputs dc voltage as it has a multi phase bridge reactifier component in it.

Is it possibly to figure out the current and voltage of a motor when the specs are unknown?

Attached the pictures of the controller board that the motor connects to

The cables visible connect to motor
the top connector is where the 240v comes in

The big square component is a multi phase rectifying bridge I think

I see no transformers anywhere so would it be possible it runs at high voltage but DC?

try to replace the motors with new motors
