stepSERVO now available with EtherCAT interface
AMP has launched EtherCAT communications versions of its innovative StepSERVO closed loop stepper technology products. Available with full support from Mclennan, AMP’s European distribution partner, the range covers three EtherCAT network intelligent drives with continuous output current of 3, 5 and 10 Amps together with 14 matched StepSERVO stepper motors from NEMA size 11 to 34.
This combination offers automation systems and machine builders an unprecedented range of high performance intelligent drives with greater torque, acceleration, and throughput than traditional step motor systems and also enables highly precise axis synchronisation through EtherCAT.
The EtherCAT+StepSERVO drives run from 24 to 70 VDC and a full complement of optional interfacing cables and connectors form part of the range. AMP’s stepSERVO technology brings closed-loop servo control to compatible stepper motors. Typical peak-torque performance for the 34 frame version is over 8 Nm.
