RESOLVER-BASED MODEL ADDED TO POSITIONSERVO DRIVE FAMILY
UXBRIDGE, MA – SEPTEMBER 1, 2007 – Lenze-AC Tech announces the release of the resolver-based Model 941 PositionServo Drive.
Originally developed for military applications due to its ruggedness, resolver technology is now the preferred choice in a hot, humid, dusty, oily or vibratory environment. In Europe where resolver feedback is most popular, the Model 941 is receiving rave reviews upon introduction. Different than an encoder, the resolver measures the position of the motor shaft within a revolution while an incremental encoder can only know the relative position of the shaft.
“For applications requiring tight positioning control, the Model 941 PositionServo has an integrated resolver with a scalable emulated encoder output.” says Brian Taylor, Servo Product Manager at Lenze-AC Tech. “The output scales the resolution back into the customer’s controller providing him with fifteen options of positioning resolution.” The customer also chooses his own level of control with the PositionServo drive’s capability of controlling basic torque and velocity applications up through fully programmable coordinated motion.
Lenze-AC Tech develops, manufactures, markets and supports a complete range of motion control solutions, including servo drives and motors, clutches and brakes, gears and gear motors and variable frequency AC motor drives. Lenze-AC Tech’s portfolio of AC Drive products extends from some of the world’s smallest sub-micro drives up through large, 500 HP. With North American headquarters in Uxbridge, Massachusetts and a global network of distributors and representatives, Lenze-AC Tech is perfectly positioned to meet the needs of customers throughout the world.
