Case Study: Rotalink reduces motor development time and cost with Maplesoft's Maple

Rotalink cuts motor development from days to a few days with Maplesoft

Rotalink, a UK-based producer of miniature power transmission products, faced the challenge of reducing time and cost in developing a new AC miniature motor. Traditional physical prototyping was time-consuming. They used Maplesoft's mathematics software, Maple, to simulate the motor during the design phase, which involved solving complex differential equations.

With Maplesoft's assistance, particularly in using Maple's advanced dsolve command for differential equations, Rotalink implemented a full simulation model in days instead of weeks. This allowed for accurate analysis of motor behavior through plotting capabilities. The solution helped Rotalink significantly reduce development time and cost, with the goal of eliminating physical prototypes to provide more cost-effective products.
