Warpdrive offers flexibility in single package
Long-established drives supplier Superior Electric, have launched Warpdrive, their latest micro-stepping positioner, targeted at small OEM's and stand-alone applications
Features of the new Easi-V software include wizard-guided setup and an oscilloscope function for performance monitoring.
The drive can automatically correct most wiring errors without the need to swap connections - particularly helpful when using third-party motors.
The new ViX drive can deliver peak shaft powers up to 1kW.
It's easy to use, too, with completely new front end software that will have users up and running in next to no time.
In addition, the drive offers a choice of RS232C (standard), RS485 and CANopen communications, panel or DIN rail mounting, an integrated controller with functions including encoder following and registration, or a base version with analogue and step/direction inputs.
All versions are available in 250 or 500VA ratings.
