At Drives & Controls 2008 Control Techniques launched is showcasing its new drives range, Digitax ST. This is described as a range of servo drives with unprecedented connectivity, feedback options, intelligence and functionality. The Digitax ST range encompasses four models, each with features that are claimed to be industry-leading.
The Unidrive SP range of high-performance drives will also be a main attraction on the stand, together with large freestanding cubicle drives, modular input and output power units plus panel mounted drives. New product developments include the launch of a real-time Ethernet module - SM-EtherCAT is for use with Control Techniques' full range of AC and servo drives from 0.37kW; these are suitable for applications ranging from simple conveyor or pump controls, through high-precision servo applications to high-power 1.9MW multi-mode drives.
In addition, the Commander SK, which is said to be the most powerful easy drive in the world - available from 0.25-132kW - will also be on display. The Commander SK requires just half the footprint space and volume compared with other drives of the same power rating. It is simple and compact, yet boasts performance characteristics that exceed customer expectations for a general-purpose drive.
