Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Circuitry is provided for applying a pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme to a brushless DC motor that operates as a robot axis drive. A pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme provides for digital implementation of robot control commands. For this purpose, it provides time stabilized current sampling synchronized to the sampling frequency of the position and velocity loops in the robot control. The brushless drive application circuitry provides for application of the PWM control outputs to commutate the motor energization from winding pair to winding pair.

Why it's free to use
- Granted February 5, 1991. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended February 5, 2008.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
