Drives offer optimum power and performance
Parker Hannifin has launched a range of cost effective three-axis stepper drives specifically designed to meet the needs of system builders and OEMs based upon its highly successful XL family.
Proven for a year in the USA, and now available in Europe, these robust and cost-effective drives are available in five versions with ratings from 100W to 1.3kW.
This wide choice of models allows users to match the size of drive to the requirements of their application, so that they pay only for the performance that they need.
All models are designed to operate from 120/240VAC supplies, and are offered with optional 120/240V keep-alive circuitry.
By default, Aries drives are supplied ready for operation in torque amplifier mode, but they can be configured in software to run in velocity mode.
Step-and-direction versions are also available, allowing the new drives to be used to replace stepper systems, and in applications where a step-and-direction command interface already exists.
While automatic set up is offered only when Aries drives are used with Parker Smart Encoder motors, the open architecture of the drives means that they can also be used with almost any modern brushless rotary or linear servo motor, and with most types of motion controller.
In addition, the drives are fully compatible with standard quadrature encoders. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation ...
