Motion control and drives specialist MOONS’ Industries introduced a new generation of AC Pulsed Stepper Drivers, the SRXAC Series. Efficiency, ease-of-use, and reliability are among the key requirements for many of today’s motion control applications and the SRXAC series are an excellent example of MOONS’ commitment in developing drives and motors which help enhance productivity, whilst maintaining exceptional quality. Features and benefits Designed to meet the increasing demands and challenges of factory automation, logistics and other similar industry applications, these AC Pulsed Stepper Drivers offer important features and benefits. Versatile Voltage Support ensures single-phase 85-265V AC input with maximum current options of 4.5A, 8A and 12A for applications demanding various torque requirements. Additional features combine to provide user-friendly configuration; a Type-C interface helps to simplify tuning, a 16-bit motor selector enables easy matching, and a 12-bit DIP switch for motor current interpolation with anti-resonance functions. Additionally, they meet the demand for enhanced performance because they offer higher continuous torque output at up to 1200 rpm which significantly surpasses the performance of 750W servo motors in low speed applications, helping to improve factory production line efficiency and stability. Simple set-up and safety enhancements The configuration process has been streamlined allowing quick set-up of parameters such as sub-division, speed, running current and idle current via a 16-bit DIP code. For customized settings, users can connect through the Type-C interface to modify and save parameters using MOONS’ configuration software. Diverse control modes The SRXAC series supports both pulse (-S) and speed (-V) modes offering users flexible control methods to suit a wide range of application needs. The speed mode increases the options for acceleration / deceleration and can also be tailored through software adjustments. Applications To meet the latest trends, the SRXAC series is designed for applications requiring low control accuracy and high torque at low speeds so will excel in factory assembly lines, logistics conveyor belts, the food industry and many more. The features and benefits of this new generation of AC stepping pulse drives elevates the possibilities of industrial automation and helps to propel innovations into developing new and improved manufacturing solutions.
