AEROTECH Automation1 iXC2e Enhanced, Compact PWM+ Servo Drive with Motion Controller
Automation1 iXC2e Enhanced, Compact PWM+ Servo Drive with Motion Controller
The Automation1 iXC2e servo motor drive combines PWM+ technology with the Automation1 motion controller’s full capabilities, improving motion quality with sub-nanometer in-position stability and boosting throughput with fast step-and-settle and superior tracking performance – all in our smallest panel-mount drive.
The integrated Automation1-iSMC controller enables expert-level tuning through intuitive tools, tight coordination with other Automation1 drives over HyperWire and integration with automation systems over EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP or TCP Socket interfaces.

iXC2e
Synchronize laser firing or process triggers with motion using multi-axis PSO, precisely align digital and analog I/O samples with the servo loop and prevent unexpected motion with safe torque off (STO).
