How much would you pay for this?

We have a new range of integrated brushless motors that will be available within 4 weeks, and was wondering if this was a product that you would use, and what would you expect to pay for it?

The IntB is a brushless servo motor with encoder, and a digital driver that is programmable, will accept Clock and direction or Analogue reference, and has CANOpen.
Give me your thoughts it would be good to know if it is competitive enough for this market?

The datasheet is a bit rough, but it gives you an idea of the specifications.

Those look mighty expensive. Am I right?

[mcpltd]

We are selling them from £500.00.

This is most likely too expensive for hobbyists though.

I noticed "pulse and direction input". Does that mean they could be driven with Mach3? Probably too expensive for us hobbiests but being able to do brushless is intriging.

Maybe one strip-down version (only step/direction controlled), addressing the hobbyist market, could be made more affordable.

yes it does accept clock and direction and would work with most if not all of the Soft CNC packages.
We do have the option of making a cut down version, but that would only be an anologue version and would not accept clock and direction, and it would only knock about 10% off the selling price.

We will be offereing a 130W version with the same features next year for about £250 and also offering a stepper system on a 34 Frame Upto 11Nm for about £150, and 3Nm 23 frame for under £100 in about 4 months.
Thgose prices are not confirmed yet, but i dont axpect them to vary to much from those figures.
