The 6ID digital servo drive from the D SERIES is the ideal solution for reliable control of permanent magnet or wound-field DC motors in unidirectional applications. Equipped with a proven 6-thyristor armature bridge, the 6ID operates in 2 quadrants. Its compact design houses both the thyristor bridge (up to 500 A) and the field bridge...
The 12IRD digital servo drive (part of the D SERIES) is designed to power and control permanent magnet or wound-field DC motors with maximum precision. This bidirectional servo converter is equipped with a robust 12-thyristor armature bridge, allowing smooth and reliable operation in all 4 quadrants. For armature currents up to 500 A the thyristor...
The 6AXD digital servo drive is the flagship of the D SERIES for high-precision applications. Designed for DC motors, it is specifically suited to axis control in machine tools and in all industrial applications where deadband-free operation at zero speed is mandatory. It operates in all 4 quadrants (bidirectional) using a 6-thyristor armature bridge in...Continue reading
In this article I present the family of digital servo drives for d.c. motors with SCR bridge called “D SERIES“. Why is it called with this name? Our loyal customers will surely have used our 12IRC, 12SPC, 6AXC and 6IC drives at least once: they were born in the ’80s and were grouped in the...Continue reading
Having the right accessories to complete your servo drive is essential for its correct operation and to comply with regulations such as the Electromagnetic Compatibility standards. In this post we will talk about: Inductors (three-phase chokes, smoothing inductors) Resistors for motor braking energy dissipation Power-supply units capable to recover motor braking energy to mains EMC...Continue reading
After having examined, in the previous post, how to figure out what servomotor we are using, what kind of data we need and where to find them, we are now looking at how to use that information to choose the right servo drive. The essential parameters needed to choose a new servo drive are: Type...Continue reading
