B&R Automation: 100,000+ rpm

A new variant of B&R’s ACOPOS P3 servo drive is now available with no output frequency limitation. In many applications, that makes it possible to achieve motor speeds in excess of 100,000 rpm. The new ACOPOS P3 is especially suited for axes that rotate at very high speeds, like the spindles of CNC milling machines. That means it can now be used for demanding machine tool applications for processing metal, stone, glass or wood.
