Birkerød, Denmark - JVL A/S, one of the world’s leading producers in the field of integrated servo and stepper motors, is announcing a new addition to its ServoStep™ motors, a motor for easy connect of spindles with either ball screws or lead screws.

The new spindle drives are part of JVL’s series of motors with application focus. The spindle drives are based on the successful ServoStep™ series of integrated stepper motors. They are intelligent motors with both the superior strength of the stepper technology and the controllability of a servo motor including closed-loop operation.

 

 

Above mentioned ServoStep™ types are with Moving Nut. Other applications might require Moving Rod types which are also available.

 

The onboard SMC66 controller has a market leading resolution of 409600 counts/rev which makes the motor run smooth at any speed in increments of 0.01 RPM

 

ServoStep™ has everything built-in including motor, encoder, drive electronics, control electronics with ePLC™ and optional Ethernet or CAN bus integrated into one compact unit. All major industrial Ethernet protocols like Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, SERCOS, ModbusTCP/UDP and Powerlink are available.
Options include absolute multiturn encoders and STO (safe torque off, SIL3).
Also included are 8 I/O points which can be individually configured as digital input or output – or analogue input. The IOs can be used as local/remote IOs for the central PLC – or used together with the ePLC™ in stand-alone applications.

 

You can choose between all major Ethernet protocols and due to the built-in Ethernet switch you can connect all your motors with just one cable running between them.

Function blocks (FB) for Siemens PLCs and Add-On-Instruction (AOI) for Rockwell Allen Bradley ControlLogix PLCs are available for download.

Additionally, each motor can be equipped with an IO Junction Box for collecting sensor inputs or trigger outputs.

 

Main Features

All-in-one integrated unit – just add you own ball screw Closed-loop control Energy efficient due to automatic current control Built-in ePLC™ with 8 DIO, 24V or 0-5V (12bit) analog input with advanced filtering Ultra-high resolution: 409600 step/rev Speed-resolution down to ±0.01 RPM Change speed or torque or other parameters ”on-the-fly” (while driving) Option: Industrial Ethernet - support for all major protocols, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, SERCOS, EtherCAT, Powerlink and ModbusTCP/UDP Option: CANopen protocol with DS 301 and DSP 401 support. Double M12 connectors for easy daisy-chaining of the CAN bus Option: STO (safe torque off, SIL3)
