New Low Profile 150V 20A Servo Drive from Machdrives
machdrives.com announces the release of the new low profile variant of our existing BRC series servo drive.
Rated at 20-150VDC input and 20A output, it is ideal for CNC mills, routers, lathes and plasma cutters. List price is AUD $169 (approx US$129)
This has all the same specifications of our standard BRC drive but with a reduced height of only 24.2mm (less than 1"). This allow installation in systems where space is at a premium.
While there are several other similar offerings in the market, the Machdrives BRC servo has some important differentiating features..
Lower heat generation. The combination of a switching regulator, power saving mode and an efficient MOSFET bridge means the drive can be screwed directly to the control cabinet wall in many applications, without requiring an additional heatsink.
More accurate tracking. Extending the traditional PID control with velocity feedforward, acceleration feedforward and stiction compensation eliminates tracking errors normally present on starting and acceleration.
Easier setup and tuning. Connection with a standard USB cable to the free Tuna for Windows application means easy setup without an oscilloscope. The 14 LED indicators show all signal and I/O pin status to streamline commissioning and troubleshooting.
