Handy size for intelligent servo drive
Available now from Motion Control Products, the Harmonica is billed as the smallest 1.2kW brushless servo drive in the world.
Motion controller spreads its power
The Maestro is a novel motion montroller that is capable of driving 126 axes, with interpolation on 16.
The ACSM1 covers power ratings from 0.75 to 45kW (380 to 480V / 2.5 to 90A ) in four frame sizes.
It provides speed, torque and motion control for demanding machines.
This type of machinery drive has wide range of feedback interfaces and integrated safe torque off (STO) function is available as standard.
The innovative memory unit concept enables flexible drive configuration.
AC drive technology used on the drive can extend the motor speed range from zero to high above the rated speed, increasing the productivity of the driven process.
When low capacity is enough, the drive reduces the machine speed and saves energy.
Servo-like performance can be achieved with DTC (direct torque control) technology, while standard AC drive technology offers many benefits over servo drives.
The ACSM1 drive series provides speed control for diverse applications from spa bath motors to treadmill motors, as well as high- precision applications such as positioning and synchronisation systems.
It is also ideal for other industrial applications like printing, material handling, packaging and textile etc.
One application, previously almost exclusive to servo drives, is that AC drives are now taking on registration.
An example is ensuring that a rotary knife cuts on the edge of a label and not in the middle.
