Reduction of total cost. PRICE & ENERGY Space Saving The RK Series offers significant improvements in motor performance, driver operation and functions compared to conventional products and is available at a new lower price. Slim and Compact This new driver was created by re-arranging the internal components and optimizing the usage of the space within the driver. The result, drivers can be installed side by side, reducing a significant amount of space. High-efficiency with Low Price New slim & compact driver Conventional Model RK Series Driver ●When drivers are installed in contact with each...

High Efciency Lower Heat Generation Reduces power consumption by up to 47% Continuous Operation is Achieved By optimizing the motor material, up to 47% of the power consumption has been reduced. This results in the reduced consumption of electricity and CO2 emission. By utilizing high-efficiency technology to reduce the motor heat, continuous operation is achieved. In addition, reduction of heat output means less reliance on cooling fans and heat sinks. ● Power Consumption Comparison ● Motor Surface Temperature Comparison under the Same Conditions [kWh/Year] Power consumption Operating Condition...

Easy to wire, easy to select. CONNECTION & SYSTEM Selection ● I/O Connector Wiring · No soldering · No crimping tools Easy Wiring · Wiring time reduction The new I/O connector does not require a screw and also eliminates the need for soldering or a special crimping tool. The motor connector can be connected easily by using a dedicated cable. This will reduce wiring time, maintenance and prevent mis-wiring.

Built-in Controller (Stored Data) Type CONNECTION & NETWORK Example of connection and control with the Built-in Controller (Stored Data) Type Using a Switch Box Since operating data is set in the driver, the motor can start and stop with hand switches. Easy control without the use of a PLC is possible. Simple Control Using PLC (No positioning control module is required) When using a PLC, you can built an operation system by connecting directly to an I/O Module. A positioning module is not necessary on the PLC side therefore space is saved and the system is simplified. Stepper Motor Unit Driver...

is a generic name of the products which support Factory Automation network control via I/O control, Modbus (RTU) control and network converter. Built-in Controller Type Modbus (RTU) control via PLC RS-485 communication can be used to set operating data, parameters and input operation commands. A maximum of 31 drivers can be connected to one serial module. There is also a group sending function for simultaneously starting multiple axes. The protocol supports Modbus (RTU), enabling connection with devices such as touch-screen panel computers and PCs. Simple Control Simple Wiring Serial Module CPU...

Performance and function to enhance reliability. PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY High Accuracy High Torque High Efciency Highly Accurate Positioning Compact and High Torque Positioning accuracy of the RK Series is ±0.05° (±3 arc min). When the RK Series is used with a ball screw as shown in the drawing below, the stopping accuracy becomes ±0.0014 mm. The accuracy of the normal ground ball screw is ±0.01 mm, thus the accuracy is high enough for positioning operation. The RK Series is compact and produces high torque. The torque of the 42 mm (1.65 in.) frame size has increased 50%. This contributes to...

Protective Function Digitally Controlled Driver Step Angle can be Set Easily Built-in Alarm Features Utilizing a full-time microstepping driver controlled by a digital system improves the vibration characteristics of the 0.72° stepper motor. Current control is also done by a high specification digital CPU. This model uses PWM control instead of PAM control resulting in a sinusoidal wave form in each phase, significantly reducing vibration. For pulse input type, 32 step angles can be selected. To easily upgrade from a 1.8° stepper motor, use the step angle setting switch to match the existing...

Features of the New Product Line NEW Standard Type with Encoder (Built-in controller type only) Encoder installed models make it possible to monitor the present position and detect for errors. ● Positioning Monitor This feature can be used to detect the position of the motor. For instance, to confirm normal operations, compare commanded position to the actual position. ● Return-to-Home Operation by ● Detecting for Errors The encoder will compare command position and encoder-count. If deviation exceeds the set value, a STEPOUT signal will be output. Positional errors due to rapid changes in load...
