AEROTECH Automation1 XC4 PWM Servo Drive
Automation1 XC4 PWM Servo Drive
The XC4 PWM digital drive is a single-axis motor drive for precision motion control applications.
It communicates to Automation1 PC- and drive-based controller products over the HyperWire® motion bus, supports multiple feedback device types and includes on-board memory.
The amplifiers control brushless DC, brush DC, voice coil and stepper motor types at up to 340 VDC operating voltage and 30 A peak current capability.
Control your industrial laser or process tool with precision using multi-axis Part-Speed PSO; control your entire process with an I/O or industrial Ethernet expansion board.
