Low inertia motors drive motion control
Baldor has launched a new range of brushless servo motors for precision motion control applications, based on rare-earth neodymium iron boron magnets.
The new single-axis servo drive provides a dual-port Ethernet interface to support the daisy chaining of drives.
There is also a CANopen interface to provide a low-cost means of adding remote I/O and HMI components into the machine control system.
To complement this drive, Baldor has developed a packaged motion controller that will control up to 16 networked drives, as well as three axes of traditional analogue drives.
The controller also incorporates analogue and digital I/O, a CAN open interface, and a USB interface for easy integration with PCs.
Compatibility with both the Mint motion language and ActiveX provides support for rapid application development.
Baldor will also be introducing two novel new motors at the show.
One is an all stainless steel servo motor with a smooth finish, designed for machinery builders in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
The other integrates onboard drive electronics into a micro-stepping motor case - providing a level of compactness that is ideal wherever space is limited or installation simplicity is important.
Target applications include medical devices, machinery adjustment and robotics. Request a free brochure from Baldor UK ...
