Strategi automation solutions offers a full range of panasonic ac servo motors and digital servo drives from 0.025 mm [30 w] to 86 nm [8.6 kw] continuous stall torque, and speeds up to 5,000 rpm. Ac servo motors are preferred for those applications, which require stable speed control, precise positioning, quick response and accurate torque control. These motors have the highest torque per frame size in the industry. They are characterised by a flat torque curve from stall to rated speed. A choice of 2,500-ppr incremental encoder or 17-bit incremental/absolute encoder is available. The digital ac servo drive can close the current, velocity and position loops. All system and application parameters are set in software to ensure repeatability and eliminate drift. The a4 series drives have a velocity response frequency of 1,000 hz, the fastest in the industry. The drives are available in single-phase 220 v, three-phase 220 v and three-phase 400v options and come with built-in braking resistors, a standard ±10 v interface is available to command motor torque or velocity. The drives also accept a step/direction, cw/ccw and encoder input directly for position control. Electronic gearing can be achieved on the drive. The drive also has a clutch brake emulation mode to replace clutch brake systems with simple digital inputs. The drives come with a powerful windows-based software which can be used for parameter setting, online monitoring of speed, position error and torque through a waveform graphics function, auto tuning and real time auto tuning of the motor during running can be executed to tune the pid parameters for optimum response.
