Servo performance from frequency inverters and geared motors
Nord Drivesystems says its advanced frequency inverters and high-efficiency geared motors can be combined to provide servo-level performance at very competitive costs when compared with traditional servo systems. Nord offers a comprehensive range of cabinet-, wall-mounted and motor-mounted frequency inverters with optional Posicon position control for use with its IE2/IE3 asynchronous geared motors or permanent-magnet IE4 synchronous geared motors. Available with a choice of absolute or incremental encoder feedback, and with IEC 61131 programming support, Posicon offers a compelling option for medium-precision applications where dynamic multi-axis co-ordination, flying shear, master/slave synchronisation or position/product registration is required.
Nord's SK 540E is the top-of-the-range control cabinet frequency inverter and integrates a universal encoder interface for SSI, BISS, EnDat profile 2.1, and Hiperface. In addition to absolute or point-to-point positioning functions, the inverter offers endless incremental positioning and features such as teach-in, reference point, offset, target position and S-ramps are easily programmed for complete application flexibility.
With output power for distributed inverter technology available up to 22kW and cabinet devices up to 160kW, other drive features available include a 200 per cent overload capability and STO/SS1 for high-safety applications, while a wide choice of fieldbus extension modules including Profibus, CANopen, EtherCAT and EtherNet IP provides ample communication integration options.
