Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division product story

Feb 6, 2009
Parker Hannifin has launched a servo drive in a 50mm housing, combining three servo power stages in a single, compact unit.
Called the TPD-M, the compact drive is for all applications where multiple drives are normally used, and gives both OEMs and end users the opportunity to reduce build, configuration and operating costs, while boosting productivity and profitability.
Called the TPD-M, the new compact drive has been developed for all applications where multiple drives are normally used.
The TPD-M servo drive is particularly suitable for all centralised automation systems, such as those found in many packaging machines, where large numbers of drives are often required.
By replacing up to three individual drives with a single TPD-M unit, it is possible to save weight and space in control cabinets and to cut component costs, as only one set of drive parts, cables, connectors, filters and braking resistors are required.
System complexity can be minimised, improving safety and reducing maintenance requirements, and programming time can be reduced, as only one drive unit needs to be configured.
TPD-M servo drives can be supplied as one-, two- or three-axis versions, with the three-axis version offering CANopen and EtherCAT interfaces for simpler and faster system integration.
Additional features include an integrated safe-stop function as standard, a USB interface for configuration and setup, plus an interface for a standard SD card for storing system parameters.
TPD-M servo drives are backed by Parker's global network of manufacturing, sales and technical support centres.
