INMOCO adds more industrial automation controllers
INMOCO has added seven new servo and stepper models to its popular MultiPro family of industrial automation controllers from Control Technology Corporation (CTC).
Brushless digital servos have SERCOS connectivity
Already 40% smaller than equivalent brushless digital servo drives, the Pacific Scientific all-digital PC800 range from Inmoco now offers more functionality, with SERCOS connectivity.
As a result, it is ideally suited for direct integration into rotary tables used in capping and labeling operations.
The SCL-055 (SCL stands for "Servomotor Capping and Labeling) is the latest mechatronic advance in ELAU's PacDriveT automation system.
The latter is PC based and uses only standardized hardware interfaces and software to provide packaging companies with an automation platform that employs the same structure for both small and large machines.

The novel planetary roller screw technology of the Exlar FT Series of force tube actuators from Inmoco offers OEMs and machine builders the benefits of higher speeds, higher load capacities.
Actuator stator design gives 35% more torque
INMOCO has developed its GSX Series, a range of actuators employing T-LAM, a new, segmented lamination stator design, which produces 35% more continuous motor torque.
The benefits of this are many: machine development times are cut by up to 50%, whole machine life cycle costs reduced substantially, while productivity is greatly increased.
The design of the SCL-055 unit continues the PacDriveT modular concept, providing a solution to running motor cables from rotating machine components to amplifiers located in control cabinets - in the process overcoming problems that had previously precluded the servo automation of these machine categories.
By providing this solution, the SCL-055, with its reduced space requirements and simplified, one-cable installation, facilitates a fundamental change in the way that bottling lines will be designed, now and in the future - paving the way for breakthroughs in flexibility and throughput.
The PacDriveT SCL is a robustly designed unit, offering high levels of protection against the aggressive environments in which it is designed to operate.
The SCL motor's IP67 rated sealing and Hart Coat surface treatment are resistant to liquid intrusion as well as corrosive chemicals necessary for aseptic filling.
In addition, a reinforced bearing handles greater than normal radial loads, so that the motor can be directly coupled with a belt drive.
The motor design also offers excellent performance density, with low electrical losses, and achieves high levels of precision via a high-resolution encoder (SinCos, 1 million increments / revolution).
In terms of motor performance, the RMS holding torque is 1.0Nm, peak torque is 4.4Nm and rated speed is 3,000 rpm.
Finally, in keeping with the flexibility of Elau's modular design philosophy, up to 99 of the PacDriveT SCL-055 servo drives can be controlled by a single PacDriveT controller. Request a free brochure from Inmoco ...
