Servo drives save panel space

Lenze has launched the i700 series of servo drives for multi-axis machinery, which it claims saves panel space, reduces control complexity and lowers purchase costs.

The latest versions of the 3200C controller for motion, logic and visualisation demonstrate easy integration with the I/O system 1000. Lenze 'motion centric automation' extends this control solution through communications and software to the drives and gearboxes with servo, dc or standard ac motors. Also new is an extension to the range of 8400 motec decentralised drives. Two new sizes extends the range from a starting point of 0.25kW up to 7.5kW, all with IP65 enclosure. The 8400 motec inverters are simple to install either onto the motor or a nearby wall and can be connected inexpensively by looping through power cables. Standard features include Safe Torque Off and VFC eco energy saving software.
