JVL presents two new AC Servo Motors with built-in controllers and direct AC mains supply with same capacity and length as traditional servo motors

Birkerød, Denmark and Morrow, OH (USA) -- JVL, the European leader in the development of integrated servo and stepper motor technology, has now again developed new and unique products in the field of integrated motor control.

JVL’s newest additions to their portfolio are two complete, high-capacity MAC motor®s with ratings of 1500 W and 3000 W. The first prototype will be revealed at the German SPS/IPC/Drives 2010 exhibition this November and later in 2011 the official launch takes place.

MAC motor®s are complete servo systems including a high-dynamic AC servo motor, hall-sensors, encoder, power supply, driver and positioning controller, as well as facilities for incorporating various control modules such as Bluetooth, WLAN, ZigBee, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus, Nano PLC, RS232/RS485/USB, Process Control, etc.

New Compact Motors

The MAC motors set completely new standards for the performance and size of servo controls. With a length of only 182 mm for a 1500 W motor with a torque of 4.78/14.3 Nm at 3000 rpm – and 232 mm for a 3000 W motor with a torque of 9.55/28.6 Nm at 3000 rpm, these MAC motors match the sizes of traditional servo motors without built-in controllers with flange 130x130 mm. This has only been possible through the use of extremely compact motors and the development of electronics and mechanics that utilise the latest technologies and manufacturing methods.

So what about vibrations and temperature? As with the other integrated servo motors in the range (50…3000 W), both the motor and all electronic components have been specifically selected to withstand the rigorous demands required by industrial use.

Power Supply and Energy Savings

Powering these motors is easy since it only requires connection of the main voltage of 3 x 400 VAC through the M22 connectors. Control voltage for the encoder and microprocessor circuitry is 24 VDC: In an emergency-stop situation, where an approved relay has cut-off the main power, encoder position and other values are maintained by this control voltage.

In some applications, however, this is not needed and in those cases an optional internal 24 VDC supply can be used, requiring only an AC main connection.

Furthermore highly effective switching technology is used to ensure low heat generation resulting in appreciable energy savings.

Other Advantages

One of the big advantages of using the integrated MAC motor®s is that you don't need to install a separate servo driver or controller in a control cabinet. This gives you many subsequent advantages: Space savings in your control cabinet, saving of expensive motor and encoder cables, saving time (and money) for cabling, noise is minimized due to internal cabling and also installation errors between driver and motor are eliminated (price = ?).

In addition, service is much easier, since the motor and controller can be replaced as a single integrated unit. Hence downtime is minimized and production is maximized.

And say, "I saw it on MotionControlBuyersGuide.com, "The Motion Control Newsletter."

Santa Clarita, CA —-- Typically a motion control H2W Moving Magnet Actuator has precision bushings and shaft which cause the moving magnet design to be cost prohibitive. However not every customer requires a bushing with high tolerance precision, and thus H2W has the ability to modify the linear bearing systems of our voice coil designs to accommodate a lower cost bushing and shaft. The pictured actuator has a custom shaft and housing to accommodate a customer's specific cost, envelope, and shaft requirements

Voice Coil Actuators are typically for applications requiring short strokes, however, H2W offers varying strokes from their stock actuators and can modify any of these models with a short lead time to accommodate many specification modifications. Additionally, typically voice coil actuators have been intended for low force applications, however H2W Technologies offers forces up to and exceeding 100 pounds of continuous force and 300 pounds of peak force at 10% Duty Cycle.

The moving magnet style actuator is provided with supplied internal bushings and a hardened steel shaft or hard anodized aluminum shaft. H2W currently stocks actuators up to 3 inches of stroke, and has built moving magnet actuators with a stroke as long as 5 inches, and up to 12 inches can be built upon request.

The NCM10-14-028-2BX is an example of one our lower cost moving magnet motor designs. - Click here for additional information.

Achieve Superior Servo Performance, Quickly, with Auto-Tuning!

RADFORD, VA -- Compliance in motion control transmission components tends to decouple the load's inertia from the servo system at higher frequencies. First-generation auto-tuners didn't take this "rubber band effect" into account, and even the best tuning specialists need lots of time and a little luck to get optimum performance. Kollmorgen's chief engineer of servo technology, George Ellis, explains how full-frequency auto-tuning can achieve perfect performance in a matter of minutes.

Birkerød, Denmark and Morrow, OH (USA) -- JVL has for many years been one of the leading companies in the field of integrated motion control servo- and stepper motors. JVL has set the goal of being the world leader in industrial Ethernet for integrated motors with the widest range of Industrial Ethernet communications for the range of JVL Integrated Servo and Stepper motors. In recent years, JVL has gained a high level of know-how and technological expertise and can now present a very smart way of using several Ethernet communications with only one expansion module.

JVL now presents POWERLINK Industrial Ethernet protocols for its complete range of integrated servo motors. The POWERLINK protocol was originally developed by the Austrian company B&R for use with their PLCs, but can also be used by other suppliers that use the POWERLINK interface.

Last year JVL introduced EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP modules. Profinet and SERCOS III are under development so all important Industrial Ethernet protocols will soon be available

The Industrial Ethernet module from JVL fits into the complete range of integrated servo motors from 50 W to 3000 W, and is a versatile module which has the ability to be upgraded with other protocols or newer versions of the same protocol at any time. Because of the upgradeability, the JVL Industrial Ethernet module is also ‘future proof’ as newer versions of the protocols will always fit into the design.

The JVL Ethernet POWERLINK module is equipped with 2 Ethernet connectors and a built-in hub, enabling line topology without any extra (expensive) hardware. The JVL Ethernet POWERLINK module has several LEDs, enabling technicians and operators to get a quick status overview. There are also opto-isolated digital I/Os embedded in the module, enabling control of extra sensors etc without external I/O modules. This minimizes the number of devices on the net and also reduces cable costs.

All connectors are rugged M12 connectors suitable for the rough conditions in industrial environments.

Furthermore, all registers in the JVL MAC motor are accessible via the Ethernet POWERLINK connection, thereby enabling complete control of motor configuration and motion.

The JVL Ethernet POWERLINK module is very easy to use and configure via a predefined setup, and is easy to alter using the JVL MacTalk application software.

A wealth of possibilities in a series of of the world´s most compact stepper motors with the higest microstepping resolution.

Fall River, MA -- The ESCON 36/2 DC is the first product in the new servo controller range by maxon motor and shows how user-friendly drive technology can be. The extremely compact, powerful 4-quadrant PWM servo controller offers efficient control of brushed permanent-magnet activated DC motors up to approx. 72 W. With its unsurpassed power density, it is the embodiment of the degree of miniaturization that is currently possible in the field of servo controller technology. It is hardly possible to pack more power, more functionality, more convenience and more protection in such small dimensions with today's level of technology.

The ESCON 36/2 DC has excellent control properties and a very fast digital current controller with an enormous bandwidth for optimal motor current/torque control. The drift-free yet extremely dynamic speed behavior enables a speed range of 1 to 150,000 rpm. The little miracle provides a wide range of functions, with fully configurable digital and analog inputs and outputs. It is perfectly matched to maxon's range of motors and thus allows dynamic drive solutions that meet the highest demands. Furthermore it can be run in various operating modes (speed controller (closed loop), speed controller (open loop), current controller).

The ultra-compact servo controller is controlled by means of an analog set value. This value can be specified by means of analog voltage, an external or internal potentiometer, a defined value or by means of a PWM signal with variable duty cycle. Other interesting functions are for instance the ability to enable or disable the power stage depending on the direction of rotation, or to use speed ramps for acceleration and deceleration. The speed can be regulated by means of a digital incremental encoder (2-channel, with/without line driver), DC tacho or without encoder (IxR compensation).

Startup made easy

Top performance should not be a matter of practice makes perfect. Therefore the servo controller has been designed specifically with easy startup and user-friendliness in mind - no in-depth knowledge of drive technology is required. When the servo controller is connected to a PC via a USB port, it can easily and efficiently be configured with the "ESCON Studio" graphical user interface. During startup and configuration of the inputs and outputs, monitoring, data recording and diagnostics, the user has access to a large variety of functions and is assisted by user-friendly software wizards, as well as a well-designed automatic procedure for fine-tuning the controller. On the hardware side, the ESCON 36/2 DC comes fully equipped with everything that is needed. For example, no additional external filters or motor chokes are required and pre-assembled cables for the startup are available as accessories.

Top-notch protection

The ESCON 36/2 DC has protective circuits against overcurrent, excess temperature, under- and over-voltage, against voltage transients and against short-circuits in the motor cable. Furthermore it is equipped with protected digital inputs and outputs and an adjustable current limitation for protecting the motor and the load. The motor current and the actual speed of the motor shaft can be monitored by means of the analog output voltage.

No-compromise flexibility and efficiency

The large range for the input voltage and the operating temperature allows flexible use in almost all drive applications, in automation technology, in small machine manufacturing and equipment engineering, and in mechatronics. With its exceptional efficiency of 95%, the inexpensive ESCON 36/2 DC is a first-class choice for mobile, highly efficient yet consumption-optimized applications.
