Custom drives bring machines to life
All Aerotech intelligent digital drives can be configured by the user to run servo, brush, stepper or voice coil motors. Each drive has user I/O, standard I/O (for limits, home markers, etc.), options for incremental or absolute encoders as well as fieldbus interfaces.
Both linear drives and PWM drives are available in all form factors. Linear drives are beneficial in applications requiring high in-position stability, very good velocity stability or environments requiring low electronic noise such as non-destructive testing applications. The PWM amplifiers provide for lower cost solutions that are ideal in applications where linear drives are not required.
Aerotech can partner with you to design a custom automation solution for your specific application at a minimum price. Aerotech designs and manufactures all of the hardware and software in-house. We can easily adapt the design to meet your needs – even for low quantities. Aerotech’s drive packaging can be customized to fit your requirements with special algorithms developed at the firmware layer. Aerotech can accommodate your custom automation controller needs by using our plug-in architecture for specific algorithms such as 2D bar code, interfaces to non-standard sensors, signal outputs synchronized to servo sample time, and more. If you have a need for custom hardware or firmware in your drive package, contact Aerotech today.
