New product development – the fully digital, intelligent AC-servo drive ServoCube

®

- broadens the F-MMS

®

-Series of Föhrenbach

â–  High power density in very economic package size â–  Easy connection and versitale implementation possibilities Löffingen-Unadingen, September 15, 2006 – The company Föhrenbach GmbH, one of the leading developers and producers in the automation and handling technology for the precision machinery industry developed with the fully digital AC-servo drive ServoCube
® for three-phase synchronous motors, linear and DC-motors, an additional product for its F-MMS
® -Series (Föhrenbach Modular-Motion-System). The ServoCube
® had been designed as compact unit for decentralized solutions and as OEM OpenFrame-version. It can operate in torque, velocity or positioning mode with multiple axis synchronization, controlled via field busses. The fully digital AC-servo drive is programmable via RS232, CAN-Bus, Profibus and EtherCat interfaces. That allows a simple and fast implementation in the existing infrastructur. With the parametrizing programm F-MMS
® -SC-ConfigTool the ServoCube
® is easy to configurate in a short time and without much programming effort. The servo drive can be adapted on the application requirements in regards to nominal current (15 Aeff max.) and peak current (40 Aeff peak for 2 sec.). It supports a number of feedback options such as resolver, analog Hall-Sensors, digital Six-Step-Hall-Sensors and SinCos-Encoder with HIPERFACE. It features a large memory that allows the saving of up to 64 positions in the positioning mode, segmented into four groups with each 16 positions. Herewith an absolute or relative point-to-point positioning is possible. The setpoint setting can be realized via the field bus system or via two analog inputs with ± 10 V. The ServoCube
® can be implemented as decentralized or integrated solution. The maximum operating temperature of 0 – 65°C as well as the high power density in relation to the size make the servo drive predestinated for motor mounting. “The ServoCube
® features as OpenFrame-version a size of only 103 x 69 x 37 mm and with its power of 1500 W (Pmax at 48 VDC) and a clock rate of PWM 10 kHz it can be characterized as an extremely compact servo drive”, says Alexander Bruno, Product Manager at Föhrenbach. „The ServoCube
