Hyperdrive positioning drives
Jessica Darnbrough
has released a differentiated hyperdrive portfolio which takes up the automation trend of "format adjustment to measure."
The wide variety of system versions, layered according to power output, measurement process or operating comfort, offers economical procurement of solutions according to users' demands and needs.
Using Hyperdrive, machine auxiliary axles can be adjusted quickly.
The specific application demands made of Hyperdrive positioning drives involve machine-specific features such as spindle inclination or traversing path, the desired power output of the drive, selection of the measurement system, and the ease of use during the setup and operation of a machine.
The drives are available in 25W, 30W, 35W or 45W.
The 25W version is suitable for replacing smaller handwheels whose auxiliary axles only require low power.
The 30W and 45W device versions offer an additional feature: self-retention.
This means the drive on the particular axle cannot be turned in a power-free state.
Regardless of the power output and the retention moment, all hyperdrive positioning drives are available as differing variants with 16 to 1,024 steps/rotation and 64 to 1,024 resolvable rotations.
Regarding setup comfort and the type of machine operation, versions are available with jog buttons for manual adjustment.
If the motor is connected to 24V dc during commissioning, but not to the control logic of the machine, the motor shaft can be brought into the desired position manually by pressing the jog button.
The integrated positioning drives, in which the motor, the gears, the measurement system, and the performance and regulatory electronics are accommodated in a compact housing, allow the operation of machines - even with small batch sizes, frequent product changes or varying sizes.
