AEROTECH Automation1 iXR3 Multi-Axis Servo Drive Rack with Motion Controller
Automation1 iXR3 Multi-Axis Servo Drive Rack with Motion Controller
The Automation1 iXR3 is two solutions in one: a high-performance, six-axis drive rack with an integrated motion controller—meaning it’s capable of complete machine control—and a multi-axis servo motor drive rack with configurable and field-replaceable, front-mounted amplifier cards.
The iXR3 runs the full Automation1-iSMC motion controller, offers industry-best sub-nanometer levels of position control for servo motors and stages, connects to other Automation1 drives over HyperWire and connects to other automation devices over EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP/IP or a TCP Socket interface. Multi-axis PSO enables precision control of your industrial laser or process tool synchronized with your motion trajectory.

Machine Control That Stands Alone
The iXR3 motor circuits are driven by powerful controller cards that close the servo and current loops at 20 kHz. These cards also provide several other high-speed, low latency control features to improve the throughput and quality of your process. The iXR3 unit processes digital and analog I/O, high-speed data collection, highspeed differential outputs, position synchronized outputs and encoder multiplication functionality in real-time. EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and a Socket interface enable true full machine and motion system control with this device
