New Series Member for COMPAX Digital Servo Controllers

The existing COMPAX series (capacity range 2.5 kVA to 35 kVA) is now joined by a unit with a capacity of 1 kVA – the COMPAX 1000SL.

Independent electronically controlled drives create flexibility ……

In the classic solution of multiple operations from a central axis via mechanical components, the need for more flexible and cost-effective machines is becoming increasingly difficult to meet. Electronic servo controls provide a decentralised solution to this problem and replace rigid mechanical www.abb-drive.com components such as gears, shafts and cams with separate servo controls

Electronic control drives increase functional capability.

Extended low-power range

The COMPAX 1000SL now offers the opportunity to take full advantage of digital servo drive technology in special applications, including the low power range.

High functionality

High-performance automation functions such as dynamic interconnection of cam functions and precise axis synchronisation are combined with a high degree of system integration using all common fieldbuses.

Compact design

The compact servo controllers can be connected directly to a single-phase power supply with a rated voltage of up to 230 V. The compact package is therefore particularly suitable for installation or inside machines.

Optimal price/performance ratio

Application-specific ASICs integrate most of the electronic functions and provide a cost-effective, flexible and powerful hardware platform.

When combined with competitively priced, high-performance synchronous servomotors with holding torques up to 1.5 Nm, the COMPAX 1000SL represents a particularly powerful package.

The system is complemented by a range of compatible mechanical drive components.
