Copley Controls Introduced Compact Module Drives and Custom Integrated Motor-Drive Assemblies
.
Copley Controls recently spotlighted its compact Nano and Nano Plus module drives alongside a new capability to build integrated motor-drive assemblies to customer requirements.
The Nano and Nano Plus module drives are among the most compact high-performance servo drives on the market, sized for space-constrained applications such as robotic joints. They run efficiently to limit the heat generated in tight enclosures where there is little room to dissipate it, and they support a range of brushless, DC brush and linear motors over industrial networks including EtherCAT, CANopen and EtherNet/IP.
Copley’s new integrated motor-drive capability lets customers combine a motor and drive in a single assembly built to their specifications. The company recently showcased a custom unit that replaces an earlier design built around a large, separate drive housing. The updated version integrates the drive and a built-in encoder inside the motor package, cutting interconnects, cabling and connectors while shrinking the overall form factor and managing thermal load internally. This unified configuration features a frameless motor in a custom housing optimized for direct-drive setups, completely eliminating gear reduction between the motor and the load.
