Making it Happen

"I was thrilled with the technical support we received. Patrick Hawthorne not only knew exactly what we needed to do, he was professional in his communications. I do not work with servos every day and he was able to walk me through it quickly. Kudos to your team."

Servo Drives

AC servo drives and DC servo motor controllers are available for general servo automation or specific robot control. Our AxCent™ drive family is a collection of easily-configurable analog servo drives perfect for centralized servo motor control schemes. Our FlexPro® and DigiFlex® Performance™ digital drives are capable of precise torque, velocity, and position control for AC and DC brushless servo motors, DC brush type servo motors, linear and rotary servo motors, closed loop vector motors, voice coils, inductive loads and actuators. Continuous improvement provides and unending variety of new possibilities in drive intelligence, size, and power density for embedded motion control solutions. In the event that our standard products don't meet a customer’s need, then we’re ready and able to create modified or custom servo drive solutions that do.

Controls

Our FlexPro® and DigiFlex® Performance™ servo drives have Motion Engine built into them. Motion Engine allows our servo drives to store and execute indexed and sequenced moves giving them stand-alone capability without the need for a controller. In addition, our Click&Move® automation system solves many of the dilemmas machine builders often face. Click&Move® easily manages the network communication protocols, HMI, logic control, coordinated motion, and just about anything you can throw at it. Best of all, Click&Move® can operate from a PC, a Motion Automation Control Card, or even on AMC Servo Drives.

Network Options

Available network connections for centralized or distributed servo systems include EtherCAT, Ethernet TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Ethernet POWERLINK and more. Their higher data rates and better real-time performance are ideal for applications such as collaborative robots, CNC machining, plasma cutting, semiconductor processing, and others.  CANopen, RS232 and RS485 have lower data rates but still meet the requirements for applications such as automotive, simple lab automation, and electric mobility.

Industry 4.0

By design, our servo drives connect to many components within a motion control system and collect data from them. This makes them perfect for Industry 4.0 (Industrial Internet of Things) machines and robots. Data from the motor, feedback, I/O devices, and other components can all be sent from servo drives along a network bus to the controller, where it can all be compiled and made available over the web.
