Product characteristics
No modification of the machine design
The AMP8000 can be mounted instead of a standard servomotor of the AM8000 and AM8500 series without modifying the machine design, since only the overall length has been changed. All other dimensions remain unchanged.
Coupling module
Coupling modules are available for the AX8000 EtherCAT-based servo drive system for connecting the distributed servo drives to the PC-based control technology. With the 1-channel and 2-channel coupling modules as the only component in the control cabinet, you can establish the connection of the DC link, the 24 VDC supply and the EtherCAT communication.
Reduced cable lengths and wiring work
Due to the high IP65 protection rating, you can integrate the distribution module directly into the machine layout. Only one cable must be routed from the control cabinet or power supply module to the distribution module.
Minimal floor space and cabling effort
You can connect the power supply module directly to the supply network. Mains filter, rectifier and charging circuit for the integrated DC link capacitors are provided in the power supply module.
EtherCAT P
Via the EtherCAT P M8 outputs at the power supply module and distribution module you can either supply EtherCAT P modules or connect further power supply modules for system extension.
Holding brake [+]
The motors can be equipped as an option with permanent magnet holding brakes. These operate according to the quiescent current principle and open at a voltage of 24 VDC +6/-10 % with > 10,000,000 switching cycles.
The installed holding brake is not suitable for service braking, since there is no monitoring for wear and functionality by the servo drive and the configuration. This applies in particular to vertical axes.
 | Safety measures for vertical axes must be applied When operating vertical axes, appropriate additional measures must be taken; for example, including but not only:
|
Permanent magnet holding brakes alone are not approved for the protection of persons. Taking ISO 13849-1 and 13849-2 into account, additional precautions must be taken for personal protection.
In the event of voltage interruptions due to emergency stop or power failure, the holding brake is permissible as a service brake to a limited extent. You can perform a maximum of 2000 emergency stops from a maximum of 3000 rpm with a maximum of three times the intrinsic inertia of the motor. These maximum values may vary due to increased load inertia.
The function check of the holding brake can be performed with a torque wrench or with TwinCAT Scope.
