AEROTECH Automation1 iXC6e Enhanced, High-Power PWM Servo Drive with Motion Controller
Automation1 iXC6e Enhanced, High-Power PWM Servo Drive with Motion Controller
Our Automation1-iXC6e single-axis PWM servo motor drive with integrated motion controller is two solutions in one: it’s capable of complete machine control and also provides superior positioning and velocity control to high-powered linear or rotary servo motors —up to 100 amps peak at 680 VDC bus voltage.
The iXC6e offers all the benefits of our iXC4e drive but with more power to move the largest payloads, so you’ll accelerate large, brushless servo motors faster and reach higher top speeds without sacrificing smooth motion.
The iXC6e is the powerful center of your motion control architecture.
It can run the Automation1-iSMC motion controller, connect to other Automation1 drives over HyperWire and connect to other automation devices over EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP/IP or a TCP Socket interface.
