Digital brushless drives offer simplified tuning
Believed to be the first all digital industrial drives with a velocity loop bandwidth up to 800Hz, brushless servos offer increased system throughput and simplified tuning.
Optically isolated I/O, full fault protection and locking connectors reduce engineering design and support requirements, while separate control logic with 'keep alive' power facilitates rapid recovery from e-stop conditions for increased machine throughput.
"This new servo solution is particularly attractive because it provides high system reliability, flexibility, performance and ease of installation, along with higher acceleration and industry leading torque/volume ratio in a smaller footprint, when compared with other servo systems," says Bill Green, vice president of product marketing for Danaher Motion.
"Features such as automatic setup, motor customization flexibility and single cabling options simplify design and reduce commissioning time; the system is designed to provide the design engineer with a solution that is easy to use and fully optimized to meet specific application requirements." Additional features include: * Higher acceleration and torque in a smaller footprint than comparably sized systems Benefit: Reduced machine size with increased machine throughput and reliability.
* Motors wound with non-overlapping coils Benefit: Eliminates the potential for phase-to-phase shorting for more reliable, higher quality operation resulting in increased machine throughput.
* Motors potted and IP65 sealed Benefit: Reliable operation and long life in demanding applications.
