Copley Controls Nano Excessive Energy digital servo drive for brush and brushless motors. | Credit score: Copley Controls
Copley Controls has launched its Nano Excessive Energy (Nano HP) and Nano Plus Excessive Energy (Plus-HP) digital servo drives for brush and brushless motors.
Each collection develop Copley’s compact Nano household and have redesigned energy boards for increased present output, making them ideally suited for traction motor functions in autonomous cell robots (AMR), automated guided autos (AGV), and different space-limited cell robotics requiring higher-power embedded modules.
The Nano HP relies on Copley’s Nano Customary platform with ARM processor, whereas the Nano Plus-HP is constructed on the superior Nano Plus platform with FPGA-based structure for enhanced functionalities. Each drives function from 9 to 90 Vdc enter voltage and ship as much as 140 A of steady present, offering distinctive energy density and effectivity. Additionally they help EtherCAT (CoE) and CANopen communication protocols for real-time knowledge trade, with the Plus-HP supporting further networking protocol choices.
Extra options and specs embrace:
- Protected Torque Off (STO) functionality with SIL 3, Class 3, PL e conformance
- One analog enter: ±10 V, 12-bit (HP) / 16-bit (Plus-HP)
- 16-kHz present loop replace
- 4-kHz place and velocity loop replace
- 5 high-speed digital inputs
- 4 high-speed digital outputs, together with brake
- A number of encoder interfaces — incremental, absolute, twin suggestions and digital halls
- 32-bit floating level filters and a number of superior filters
- Frequency evaluation instruments
Copley Controls mentioned the Nano HP and Plus-HP drives are designed to fulfill the necessities of many cell robotics functions, AGVs, AMRs and area robotics. Customary modules may be carried out utilizing connectors or by soldering energy pins for top load present functions, whereas the Z-style modules’ small type issue facilitates integration with normal connectors and a frame-mounted warmth plate.
Movement management and different enabling applied sciences might be on the agenda at RoboBusiness on Oct. 15-16 in Santa Clara, Calif. It’s the premier occasion for builders and suppliers of business robots. The occasion is produced by WTWH Media, which additionally produces The Robotic Report, Automated Warehouse, and the Robotics Summit & Expo.
This yr’s convention may even function greater than 60 audio system, a startup workshop, the annual Pitchfire competitors, and quite a few networking alternatives. Over 100 exhibitors on the present flooring will showcase their newest enabling applied sciences, merchandise, and companies to assist remedy your robotics improvement challenges.
RoboBusiness might be co-located with DeviceTalks West, the premier business occasion for medical know-how professionals. Each occasions entice engineering and enterprise professionals from a broad vary of healthcare and medical know-how backgrounds.
Registration is now open for RoboBusiness 2025.
