CTS Corporation Unveils COBROS: A Breakthrough in Electric Motor Control Technology
LISLE, Ill., Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CTS Corporation, a global leader in sensing and motion control technologies, today announced the launch of COBROS, a revolutionary new platform for electric motor control. Developed over seven years of intensive research and development, COBROS introduces a fundamentally new approach to motor control by using real-time, in-situ magnetic field sensing. Traditionally, vector-controlled motors rely on indirect measurements to estimate the magnetic sta

A custom PCB sensor is embedded inside the motor, similar in form to a standard inductive position sensor, but can capture the full magnetic field data in real time. This eliminates the need for three discrete current sensors and a position sensor, allowing for simplified design, weight reduction and more precise control.","length":506,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"“COBROS represents a step change in how we control electric motors,” said Javier Bilbao, Director of Product Management at CTS Corporation. “By moving from indirect estimation to direct measurement of the magnetic field, we can significantly improve accuracy and dynamic performance while...
