Help with CMC amplifier ACS5013-0-000

[cnogueiraneto]

Hi

I bought three amplifiers ACS5013-0-000 with servos BMR2205TCCF00HS005 all made by Cleveland Motion Control.
What I need is one controller to work with mach 3 or EMC in xyz axis in one custom made mill.
I saw the Pixie from Skyko Technologies but I dont know if this amplifiers have analog control.
I appreciate any help

Thanks

Contact CMC as they do have a website. We got operations manual for some servo amps they made ~10 years ago for a Bridgeport.

Call might work better than web inquiry but web e-mail is good place to start.... Then again, somebody here may have something.

Hi Clovis,

Glad you made your way here to the forum. I am sorry I could not answer your question about the CMC amps, but you have come to the right place, these guys are great.

Hi Nc Cams thanks for the tip but I tried this before and the new manual will cost U$ 100,00 plus the shipping charge to Brazil. That is very expensive for me, I already blew up my budget.

I have one picture of the amp

The amps appear to have ±analogue input probabally ±10vdc.

Al, I can't tell from the pictures if they can be set up to run in current (torque) mode or if they were intended to use tach and run in velocity mode. The amps seem to be similar to the common AMC variety, which can definately run in tachless torque mode (which works very well with the Pixie step/dir to analog controller). They certainly do seem to have the correct ref+/- inputs. Hopefully CMC can shed some light on the situation.

The motors and drives sure do look nice though. I bet they have a ton of power for their size.

This is the datasheet from the servos, The salesman said that he had one more set, I paid U$400,00 for complete set, 3 servos, 3 amps and the bulk supply. If anyone have interest in this let me know and I send the salesman email

[KTP]

Not a bad price if everything works. I can't quite get the motor part # to match up to the data sheet...and the data sheet has an annoying "See Note 3" reference about the encoder, but there are only notes 1 and 2

servos BMR2205TCCF00HS005

[unterhaus]

Those are a re-branded OEM version of AMC servos. If you took of the CMC stickers, you might find an AMC logo on there. You also find them re-branded as Kollmorgen, Electrocraft, Galil, and others. These amps are going fairly cheap on ebay nowadays, probably because they don't have step/direction inputs. Looks like a pretty good deal matched to the motors and the cables.

That said, the +/- Ref inputs are a +/- 10V analog input.

Thanks Unterhaus, finally a light in the end of tunnel
