AC Drives
Friday, January 28th, 2011Axis New England’s AC drive offering includes products from industry leaders Yaskawa and Omron. These drives can be implemented in a wide range of industrial applications from those that require precise torque and speed control to those needing control of both induction and permanent magnet motors. Whether you have a need for a general purpose drive or a more demanding motor control application, Axis New England has the AC drive solution for you.
Yaskawa
Yaskawa is the world’s largest manufacturer of AC drives for industrial automation and OEM equipment. Their drives cover every automation application need in the industrial plant. These AC drives incorporate the latest technological advancements in AC motor speed control, made possible by experience and dedication to quality in design and manufacturing. These adjustable frequency drives offer the greatest selection of size and performance available, with power ranges from fractional HP to 1750 HP. Yaskawa AC Drives provide the benefits of network communications, support by software tools for parameter management, custom software options, and new ease of installation. Because all adjustable frequency drives are rigorously tested, Yaskawa ensures that quality and reliability are designed in and built in.
Omron
Omron’s energy-efficient AC drives offer simple-to-apply advanced functionality and high reliability to make your plant easier to operate. Models are available to meet the needs of simple to the most demanding motor control applications.
Direct Drive Motors and Rotary Stages
Friday, January 21st, 2011Axis New England offers several different direct drive motor and rotary stage solutions from Yaskawa, Parker Daedal, and Parker Dynaserv. Whether your application requires a load attached directly to a motor or a rotary stage driven by a traditional servo motor, Axis New England has the product to meet your needs.
Yaskawa
The SGMCS servomotor line is designed for direct drive applications where the load is directly attached to the motor surface. Direct drive technology eliminates backlash, reduces the number of mechanical components, and provides a stiff mechanical system for highly dynamic applications. Pre-tapped mounting holes and a hollow-through shaft permit a variety of machine designs. These motors have substantial load carrying bearings, low speed windings, and 1,048,576 ppr absolute encoders. 200 volt windings are available with maximum speeds up to 500 rpm. There are 17 sizes available with up to 5,310 lb-in (600 Nm) of peak torque.
Parker Daedal
The 200RT Series Rotary Tables are designed for precise motor-driven rotary positioning and indexing. These tables are designed to function independently or in conjunction with linear tables used for precision automation applications. Their low profile design minimizes stack height in multi-axis configurations and enables them to fit in many places where other motorized rotary devices cannot. Models are available in 5, 6, 8, 10, or 12 inch diameters and are offered with four gear ratios making it convenient to match size, speed, and load requirements.
Parker Dynaserv
The Dynaserv is a family of direct-drive servo systems for industrial and high-tech applications. Direct-drive systems are integrated positioning systems that allow the elimination of mechanical transmissions and allow the load to be mounted directly to the motor. This creates an extremely high performance system that can simplify and increase the performance of many machine types. The Dynaserv G3 is the latest generation drive of the Dynaserv family and provides optimal control of a direct-drive system.
The G3 is an all-new digital drive with implementation of the advanced control and filtering algorithms needed to control a direct-drive motor. The G3 can operate in torque, velocity, or position control modes. The G3 comes with a modern Windows-based software utility that makes the set-up of the Dynaserv system easy and fast via RS232 or RS485 communication. When operated in position mode, the Dynaserv has an auto-tune utility that allows quick and easy setting of the tuning parameters. Digital implementation of the low pass and notch filtering makes mechanical resonance abatement far easier than in earlier models.
Simple motion control functions can be obtained without an external controller. The G3 contains a motion table that allows the storage of indexing moves that can be initiated through a serial command or commanded via discrete inputs. When used with a PLC using multiple inputs, the G3 can be used to achieve high-performance motion and handle complex tasks.
The Dynaserv is UL recognized and meets the requirements for CE certification. The G3 has additional innovative safety features such as a controlled stop after power failure and a servo disable switch on the front panel of the drive. Since the Dynaserv motor is capable of handling very large loads, the G3 has special circuitry to monitor power regeneration to the drive. The G3 is a very flexible design allowing operation of the all the DM series motor models and the standard DR series motors.
Stepper and Servo Motors
Friday, January 14th, 2011Axis New England carries a wide range of stepper and servo motors for your motion control applications. Our motor offering includes Lin Engineering, Parker Compumotor, Parker Trilogy, and Yaskawa. With such a wide selection we can almost always find a standard or custom motor to fit your project needs.
Lin Engineering’s unique capability to combine offshore component production with domestic final assembly, allows them to deliver a low cost solution with short leadtimes and custom features upon request. Stepper motors range from NEMA11 to NEMA34 frame sizes with both 0.9o and 1.8o degree step angles. Custom options include optimized windings, rotary encoders, modified out shafts and flanges, cable options, and integrated drive electronics.
Parker Compumotor offers a broad line of stepper and servo motors. Motors range from NEMA16 frame to up over 3000W brushless servomotors. The numerous product families range from low cost/high torque density designs to unique technologies offering extreme smoothness. Their state of the art manufacturing facility allows them to offer custom connectors, shafts, windings, or almost any other modification built to your specification with little to no impact on cost and delivery. Frameless motor options can be tightly integrated into OEM equipment to meet tight package and electrical design requirements.
Trilogy manufactures brushless iron-core and ironless linear motors. Within each family they offer multiple sizes and stack lengths, with air and water cooling options. Trilogy has optimized their torque density to get more force and minimize temperature rise, the leading problem with linear motors. Their extensive history with linear motors has allowed them to design and manufacture technological advances to all but eliminate iron core cogging.
Yaskawa offers both rotary and linear servo motors. Yaskawa long ago perfected the segmented stator design process allowing them to pack the cooper coils tighter together and thus yield the highest torque density in the industry. Their motors range from a 10W 1″ square flange to a 55kW motor with over 6000in-lb of torque. Both serial incremental and absolute encoders are standard offerings. Yaskawa’s linear motors are available in both ironless and iron-core designs
