Cordless Brushless Drill

Overview

Description

The evolution of power tool architectures is shifting from traditional brushed-motor systems to advanced brushless platforms that integrate motor control, power conversion, and smart connectivity within compact cordless designs. Powered by 12–24V battery systems and high-efficiency 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors, these designs deliver higher torque, longer runtime, and improved durability while reducing size, weight, and maintenance complexity.

The classic design is optimized for essential drilling and fastening applications, featuring a sensored trapezoidal control algorithm executed by our motor control MCU that provides stable torque output and efficient operation with minimal system complexity.

The premium design enhances performance and energy efficiency with a sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) algorithm through our high-performance motor control MCU, delivering smoother torque response and optimized battery utilization. Integrated Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) connectivity enables configuration, maintenance, and runtime tracking.

The smart design incorporates AI/ML-based adaptive control that detects material type and automatically selects optimal torque and speed settings. Combined with fleet management learning, real-time monitoring, and tracking via Bluetooth LE, it maximizes precision, uptime, and overall efficiency.

System Benefits:

  • Unified 3-phase brushless DC motor architecture delivering high efficiency, torque density, and durability
  • Sensored and sensorless control algorithms optimized for performance and energy efficiency through advanced MCUs
  • AI/ML-based adaptive control enabling automatic torque and speed adjustment
  • Bluetooth LE for tool connection to mobile devices or management platforms for updates, monitoring, usage tracking, and fleet management
  • Compact 12–24V design improves mobility, runtime, and handling
  • Modular platform simplifies maintenance, scalability, and system integration
