Abstract:
1. A mixing machine, comprising: a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including a rotatable output member to receiving a mixing tool, the head including a gear system therewithin for effecting rotation of the rotatable output member about a rotation axis and orbiting of the rotation axis about another axis; a switched reluctance motor having an output operatively connected to the drive gear system; a switched reluctance drive for opening the switched reluctance motor; a user interface including at least one input mechanism; and a control unit for receiving input from the user interface and connected for controlling operation of the switched reluctance drive, wherein the control unit operates upon initiation of a mixing operation to communicate a desired speed and a current limit to the switched reluctance drive and wherein the desired speed is any one of a plurality of present speeds set in the control unit and each present speed has a respective current limit associated therewith.
