Demand for higher output has increased significantly in all sectors, for example in order to replace a pneumatic or hydraulic drive motor with a more maintenance-friendly electrical axis, or in order to meet stringent dynamic demands even for high loads. For this reason, higher power servo drives have been added to the AX5000 drive family. These amplifiers, with nominal device currents of up to 170 A (315 A in preparation), fit seamlessly into the world of the smaller AX5000.
The AX5000 amplifiers are available in three sizes with rated currents of 60 A, 72 A, 90 A, 110 A, 143 A and 170 A (315 A in preparation). In each case, the controllers deliver 1.5 to 2 times the rated current for up to 3/7 seconds and are designed for 3-phase operation at 400 to 480 V AC.
The versions up to 72 A feature integrated mains filters for compliance with EN 61800-3 requirements. Provision is made for the connection of an external ballast resistor. The EtherCAT connection to the PC-based control technology enables optimum utilisation of available resources.
The AX5000 is very flexible with regard to the motors that can be connected: different motor sizes and types such as synchronous, linear, torque and asynchronous motors can be connected without additional measures. The multi-feedback interface supports all common standards.
The AX5000 was developed specifically for the EtherCAT real-time Ethernet system. The outstanding features of EtherCAT are particularly beneficial for drive technology. They include short cycle time, synchronicity and simultaneity. EtherCAT enables very short cycle times, even in networks containing a large number of devices.
