B&R Automation: 100,000+ rpm

New variant of ACOPOS P3 servo drive takes spindles to top speeds

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. With the exceptional control quality and extremely fast cycle times of the ACOPOS P3 now available for these high-speed applications, the machines are able to deliver more precise, reliable results.

Spindle motors at top speed

On the standard ACOPOS P3, the device’s electrical output frequency is monitored. If it sustains a frequency above the limit value of 598 Hz for more than half a second, the movement is stopped and an error is triggered. On the new variant of the servo drive, the electrical output frequency is not monitored. As a result, it is subject to the dual-use export restrictions per Regulation (EC) No. 428/2009 of the European Community.

Cool and quiet

ACOPOS P3 servo drives are suitable for operating all types of spindle motors. With the new variant, B&R now offers a complete solution of hardware and software for CNC machines and robot arms where high-speed permanent magnet synchronous spindle motors are used.

Both open-loop control and closed-loop control with a cycle time of 50 µs are possible. B&R’s advanced closed-loop control functions help minimize the generation of heat and noise.

Belden: BEETLE Single Pair Ethernet Lite Managed Switch

The Lumberg Automation BEETLE Lite Managed Switch supports the transition to future-ready networks built using Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), supporting seamless sensor-to-cloud connectivity. As industrial environments grow in complexity, enterprises have opportunities to connect more field devices and gather more data. However, they need to consider space and weight constraints and simplify network infrastructure where possible. SPE supports this goal by allowing connectivity via a single pair of wires rather than the two or four pairs required by standard Ethernet.

RAFI: RAMO 22/30

The RAFI key switch series with mounting hole diameters of 22 and 30 mm is perfect for simple integration in your application. This is ensured even in difficult space conditions, thanks to the low overall height and mounting depth, as well as the RAMO EDGE mounting bracket, which you can use to assemble the operating elements and indicators directly on profiles without an additional housing.

OKW: Fluorescent and Photoluminescent Printing – Be Seen

Whether in hazardous areas or in diffuse lighting conditions, sometimes attracting attention is not only desirable but also necessary. OKW has expanded its range of custom printing colors to meet these requirements. Customers can now specify OKW’s products with labels and graphics produced (by screen or tampo printing) using new fluorescent inks. These are ideal for warning messages or for attracting attention to equipment such as emergency electronics.
