Powerful ironless linear motor acts quickly
Series of ironless linear motors provide high forces with minimum moving mass, specifically for applications requiring very high continuous accelerations of relatively light payloads.
Brushless servo motor delivery accelerated
A leading supplier of integrated motion control solutions, has announced that lead times on its MaxPlusPlus line of brushless rotary servo motors have been reduced to just three days.
A total of seven distinct power levels are now available ranging from 100W up to 3000W of continuous motor shaft power.
That equates to 16A RMS continuous and 48A RMS peak current to quickly accelerate even the largest loads.
The new higher-powered Aries drives contain all the same features and benefits as their lower-powered siblings.
These time- and cost-saving features include Smart Encoder feedback to automatically set up the drive, support for Endat multi-turn absolute encoders to dispense with limit switches and homing routines, and an innovative DriveTalk feature to communicate with the Aries drive without a serial connection.
All Aries drives ship with the feature-packed Aries Support Tool (AST) software package.
The AST program provides easy and intuitive diagnostic screens, graphical tuning utilities, an OS download tool and a configuration wizard for use with non-Smart Encoder motors.
The AST package is provided free of charge and may be downloaded from the Parker Electromechanical Automation Web site.
The latest release of AST is version 3.0, which offers such enhancements as the new System SnapShot feature to simplify and speed drive diagnostics; improvements to the graphical current, velocity, and notch filter tuning utilities; and improved and expanded status panel information.
