AX5118 | Digital Compact Servo Drives 1-channel

The AX5000 single-channel servo drives offer optimal function, flexibility and cost effectiveness. The components required for operation, such as power supply unit, EMC filter and DC link capacitors, are already integrated. The control loop, which has a cascaded structure, supports fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks. Ether CAT as a high-performance system communication enables ideal interfacing with PC-based control technology.

The AX5000 drives are available in different current intensities from 1.5 A to 170 A.

The AX-Bridge quick connection system enables simple and fast connection of several AX5000 devices to form a multi-axis system. The plug-in supply and connection modules connect power supply, DC link and 24 V DC control voltage. Different types and sizes of motor such as synchronous, linear, torque, asynchronous and voice coil motors can be connected to the AX5000 without additional measures. The multi-feedback interface supports all common standards. The model of sensor less operation of synchronous and asynchronous motors can also be parameterized.

The optional AX58xx enables the typical drive-integrated safety functions and the fulfilment of the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1:2015 (Cat. 4, PL e), EN 61508:2010 (SIL 3) and EN 62061:2005 + A1:2013/A2:2015 (SIL CL3).

The AX5000 has been specifically developed for Ether CAT, as the latter’s advantages are optimally exploited in the drive technology. This includes in particular the short cycle time – even in networks with many devices – as well as the synchronicity and simultaneity

The Twin CAT 3 Drive Manager 2 serves as commissioning tool. Thanks to the structured design and the wide range of functions, commissioning of the axis is simple and intuitive.
