Product characteristics

Short cycle times

With the servo drive you can implement fast and highly dynamic positioning tasks through the integrated control technology. EtherCAT enables the ideal connection to the PC-based control technology. With EtherCAT and the AX8000 multi-axis servo system and distributed clocks you can achieve minimum cycle times of 62.5 µs, synchronicity and simultaneity in the drive technology.

Scalable nominal motor power

With the axis modules you can operate different nominal motor powers through scalable motor current measurement. A nominal motor current of between 1 A and 8 A can be set on an 8 A module without influencing the quality of the resolution.

Operation of different motor sizes

With a two-channel axis module you can connect two identical motor sizes or also different ones. The sum of the nominal currents of both servomotors is relevant for the selection of the axis module. The sum of the nominal currents of the axis modules is the most that can be provided at the same time here.

Multi-feedback interface for third-party motors

The AX8000 multi-axis servo system provides a multi-feedback interface for connecting third-party motors that do not support OCT feedback.

High-speed capture inputs

The digital high-speed capture inputs record binary control signals from the process level and make them available for "latching" / "capturing" an encoder position. The signal propagation time of these inputs is 15 µs. There are two digital inputs per axis.

Diagnostics and parameter display

The display of the AX8000 multi-axis servo system shows error groups in various categories and is based on the 7-segment technology.

Toolless connection

The simple and fast connection of the DC link of power supply modules and several axis modules is enabled by the AX bridge. The connection takes place without tools with spring-loaded terminals for DC link, control circuit and EtherCAT. The compact design of the AX8000 multi-axis servo system enables simple mounting inside the control cabinet.
