Drives Provide Better Match

Nov. 5, 2010
The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 3 component servo drive is designed to provide machine builders with the ability to better match the needs of manufacturers without the complexity of traditional servo solutions. 
Offered in models as small as 50 watts, the drive provides the flexibility to tailor axes to a machine’s actual power requirement, minimizing system size and cost. Its compact design makes the drive well-suited for machines that require less than 1.5kW and up to 12.55N-m of instantaneous torque. The Kinetix 3 component servo drive is easily configured using Allen-Bradley UltraWare, free software available as part of the Kinetix Accelerator Toolkit. Additional features include online vibration suppression, advanced auto-tuning and faster settling time, which reduces start-up time by virtually eliminating many steps in the commissioning process. The drive can index up to 64 points via Modbus or through its digital inputs.Rockwell Automation Inc.www.ab.com/motion800.227.6143
