B&R, an innovative process automation solutions provider, part of ABB Group, recently introduced a new variant of ACOPOS P3 servo drive and it works output frequency limitation. In any application, the drive enables to achieve motor speeds at more than 100,000 rpm.
The servo drive can now be used for demanding machine tool applications for processing metal, stone, glass, or wood. B&R has ensured exceptional control quality and extremely fast cycle times for ACOPOS P3. The servo is designed for best utilization for very high-speed axes, like the spindles of CNC milling machines, and results in reliable and precise for the machines.
It is the output frequency that is monitored on the standard ACOPOS P3. If the servo survives the frequency above the limit value of 598 Hz for more than half a second, a fault signal is initiated and the movement is stopped. With the new variant, the electrical output frequency is not monitored. This makes it subject to the dual-use export restrictions per Regulation (EC) No. 428/2009 of the European Community.
A worldwide leading provider of industrial automation, B&R makes use of cutting-edge technology with advanced engineering. The company offers complete solutions for machine and factory automation in almost all industrial sectors. B&R is also a key player in motion control, HMI, and integrated safety technology. The company became a business unit of the ABB Group on July 6, 2017. B&R is constantly working towards the future of automation with its innovation and application-based solutions.
ACOPOS P3 servo drives a suitable drive for operating all types of spindle motors. Along with the new servo drive, 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. With a cycle time of 50 µs are available for open-loop control and closed-loop control. Another merit of B&R's advanced closed-loop control functions is that it minimizes heat and noise generation.
