Two new drives from Trinamic Motion Control are designed for high-power stepper motors. The TMCM-1278 combines a motion controller and drive in a single module designed for NEMA 23/24 motors. The PD60/86-1278 PANdrive is a full mechatronic solution that mounts the module on a NEMA 24/34 PANdrive motor. Controlled by a CAN bus interface, both […]
New series of micro-sized drives from ADVANCED Motion Controls
ADVANCED Motion Controls has released three new additions to the FlexPro servo drive family, the FM series. Designed with compact form and power density in mind, the micro-sized drives can outperform larger-sized digital servo drives and still be integrated into tight spaces. The new FM drives are equipped with an additional interface board that makes […]
New matched motor-drive motion system from Kollmorgen
Kollmorgen’s new 2G Motion System is a servo solution based on the latest thinking about single-source, systems-based design. The 2G Motion System was designed specifically to harness the performance capabilities of Kollmorgen’s AKD2G servo drive and AKM2G servo motor. Motor and drive are precisely matched in every element (e.g. drive switching frequency, commutation algorithms, motor […]
Trinamic smart driver IC for battery-powered dc motors
The new TMC7300 drives one or two DC motors from 2.0 to 11 Vdc and employs UART-based control for torque and velocity. TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG now sells a TMC7300 low-voltage driver for one DC motor (up to 2-A peak) or two DC motors (to 2.4A peak) on a single or dual […]
Bosch Rexroth SafeMotion achieves CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP certification from ODVA
Bosch Rexroth’s drive-integrated SafeMotion machine safety platform has received the ODVA’s CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP certification, adding to the company’s capabilities to support major safety automation buses, including CIP Safety on Sercos, PROFIsafe on PROFINET and FailSafe over EtherCAT. SafeMotion technology is available on Bosch Rexroth IndraDrive intelligent servo drives. With this latest certification, SafeMotion […]
New digital soft starters and micro VFD drives from AutomationDirect
New compact soft starters and micro VFD drives have been added to the AutomationDirect motor controls lineup which encompasses simple manual controllers, motor contactors and starters, drives and soft starters. WEG SSW05 and SSW07 soft starters are compact, fully digital soft starters with a DSP controller designed to provide great performance on motor starts and […]
New frame sizes, features for soft starter family from WEG
WEG has extended its SSW900 series of soft starters to include frame size E for the current range of 480 to 670 A. The series previously consisted of four frame sizes A to D, covering output currents from 10 to 412 A in the voltage range of 220 to 575 V 3-phase ac. These compact […]
Motion system design: Can a servo-driven machine be too stiff?
When we think of stiffness, we often think of mechanical stiffness — the ability of a part or system to resist deflection. But in servo-driven motion systems, stiffness can also refer to how the system is tuned — that is, how the gains in the servo controller are set and, correspondingly, how the motor responds […]
Servo amplifier with multi-network interface from Mitsubishi Electric
The MR-J4 servo amplifier series from Mitsubishi Electric incorporates a multi-network interface called “Servo Open Network”. It enables the user-friendly drive to be compatible with all relevant motion control systems worldwide. Machine manufacturers who offer their solutions globally will benefit from the open network connection feature of the MELSERVO MR-J4 amplifier series. Communications is simplified […]
High bus voltage stepper drives and motors from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect has added a high voltage ac drive and compatible high torque motors to its stepping system motion control product offering. The ac stepper drive is powered from 90 to 240 Vac and is intended for use with step motors designed to handle a high bus voltage of 340 Vdc. MTRAC motors are specially designed […]
