Decentralised drive solution package
29 September, 2009 byComprising a PLC/motion controller or gateway, frequency inverter, optional I/O module, geared-motor and interconnection cables, the SEW-Eurodrive decentralised package can be customised to match the specific requirements of the end-user applications.
Servo-controlled stepper motor range
30 July, 2009FAS Technology is focused on developing new technologies in the field of motion control with DSP technology.
Portescap hall sensor amplifier
09 June, 2009Portescap has introduced the RoHS-compliant EBL-H-50-03 four-quadrant amplifier. With fully programmable features, this hall sensor amplifier is specifically engineered to optimise the performance of Portescap brushless motors in applications where efficiency, high acceleration or safety are of primary significance. All inputs and outputs are clearly identified to facilitate easy start-up in less than 10 minutes.
Motor management display
01 April, 2009 byThe TeSys T display allows the user to configure the parameters of the TeSys T motor management and protection relay and to display the selected operational values.
Industry urged to maximise motor efficiency
22 October, 2008SEW-Eurodrive has used the ‘Driving towards industrial energy savings’ seminar to urge industry to consider the total life cycle energy cost of the entire drive system when using a motorised process.
DC motor motion controllers
05 September, 2008The configuration of the electronics in these Faulhaber motion controllers is based on a digital signal processor (DSP), which enables a high performance as well as precise positioning and low speeds. The high degree of efficiency permits a continuous output current of up to 6 A.
CMMS-ST motor controllers
08 July, 2008The CMMS-ST drives supplement the EMMS-ST range of stepper motors and together they provide a ‘servo light’ solution. This combination offers fully controlled motion, optimum operating reliability and various options for torque and force control.
Compact stepper drive
08 July, 2008The Plus-B series of stepper motor drives is suitable for high-power single- and dual-axis motion control applications where high speed and resolution are required. They are AC powered and require only a mains transformer and a suitable controller with step and direction output signals.
Compact stepper drive
01 July, 2008The Plus-B series of stepper motor drives is suitable for high-power single- and dual-axis motion control applications where high speed and resolution are required.
Output filter for motor drives
01 July, 2008The Schaffner Model 510 output filters reduce voltage slew rate (dV/dt) from inverter drives for variable-speed motors. High-voltage slew rates can cause overstressing of long motor drive cables and cause insulation breakdowns in motor windings.
ABB secures $64 million Woodside contract
15 May, 2008ABB has announced that it has won over $64 million worth of contracts to supply equipment for Woodside's $12 billion Pluto Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Project, currently under construction in Western Australia.
Economical stepper drive
20 August, 2007The RTA NDC series drives are suitable single- or multi-axis motion control applications where a low-cost solution is required. The resolution is selectable to 4000 steps/rev for smooth operation.
Danfoss enters alliance with Automation Direct
15 May, 2007Danfoss Australia has entered into an exclusive partnership agreement with Automation Direct Pty Ltd for the sale and support of its VLT FC51 MicroDrive range.
Standard drives manager appointed
24 May, 2006Industrial automation company, Rockwell Automation, has appointed Les Cutajar as its standard drives product manager. With 14 years’ sales experience with the company, Cutajar believes his role represents an opportunity to emphasise the commitment that Rockwell Automation has made to the drives market in Australia.
