Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division has expanded its Compax3 family of industrial servo drives to include a version especially designed for multi-axis applications.
Positioning products and systems catalogued
Parker Electromechanical Automation Division's latest catalogue featuring its Daedal linear motor-driven tables, automation tables, miniature positioners, drives and controllers.
Now users can choose the versatile Aries drive for use with resolver feedback in addition to smart encoders, quadrature encoders and Heidenhain EnDat absolute encoders.
The new resolver option adds the capability of solving applications requiring the advantages that rugged resolver technology can offer.
A resolver feedback device is essentially made out of the same materials as the motor and contains no electronics; thus, a resolver - equipped motor is less susceptible to the effects of temperature, humidity, dust, vibration and shock.

Linear actuators have longer life with cover seal
The PROmech series linear actuators from Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division now have a cover seal to protect the screw from particulate matter and other debris, for longer product life.
In addition, the Aries family now features a total of seven distinct power levels 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.
Every Aries drive contains the same standard features and benefits, including 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.
