The AX5000 Servo Drive series is available in single- or multi-channel form and is optimised in terms of function and cost-effectiveness. Integrated control technology supports fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks. EtherCAT as a high-performance communication system enables ideal interfacing with PC-based control technology.
The AX52xx 2-channel Servo Drive enables operation of two motors with identical or even with different power, up to a total current of 12 A. The multi-axis drives with variable motor output allocation offer optimised packaging density and costs per drive channel.
The AX5000 system enables simple and fast connection of several AX5000 devices to form a multi-axis system through the AX-Bridge quick connection system. The pluggable supply and connection module combines power supply, DC-Link and 24 V DC control and braking voltage.
A wide range of motor types can be connected to the AX5000. Motors of different size and type can be connected without additional measures. Examples include synchronous, linear, torque and asynchronous motors. The multi-feedback interface supports all common standards.
The AX5000 was developed specifically for use with EtherCAT. 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.
