FAQs

Yes. The HAWKSTEIN system is brand-agnostic. Our hardware and software interfaces are designed to communicate with all major industrial protocols (EtherCAT, Profinet, etc.) and support a wide array of feedback sensors, allowing you to test motors from different manufacturers on a single platform.

We use an active loading dynamometer or magnetic particle brakes to apply precise, programmable resistance. This allows you to simulate varying payloads, friction, and even sudden impact loads to see how the servo or robot arm responds in a "real-world" scenario.

Our system can be configured for multi-axis synchronization. We can monitor the coordinated movement of an entire robotic assembly to ensure that interpolation is smooth and that there is no deviation in the collective Tool Center Point (TCP).

Yes. Users can set tolerance thresholds for parameters like positioning error, power consumption, and heat. If a component exceeds these limits during a test, the software flags it immediately and generates a detailed failure analysis report.

Absolutely. The system is built for 24/7 continuous operation. You can program endurance cycles lasting hundreds of hours to identify potential fatigue points, gear wear, or electronic degradation before the product reaches the end-use.
