More torque for ELAU iSH Intelligent Servo Modules
Following the success of its iSH series Intelligent Servo Module technology introduced in 2007, ELAU is expanding the power range to handle applications such as main transport conveyors, carousels and other higher-inertia mechanisms. In many cases, this extends the benefits of plug-and-play cabling, modular flexibility, reduced wiring and electrical cabinet size to the entire machine.
With the new 140mm frame size iSH 140, the ELAU servo modules cover a continuous torque range of 1.1-11.5Nm, with peak torque extended to 50Nm. The new servo modules are software-compatible with existing systems.
Previously higher-power applications might have required one or two conventional servo motors with cabinet-mounted drives in addition to servo modules. This technological advance from ELAU is said to represent another step forward to the consistently modular, integrated design of packaging machinery in terms of mechanical, electronic and software systems. In addition, electrical cabinet space, cable lengths, installation and wiring labour and component costs are further reduced.
The iSH-140 Intelligent Servo Modules will be introduced by ELAU at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2008 in Nuremberg, hall 4, booth 410.
