Precision motion control and automation company Aerotech Inc. has expanded its Automation1 XA4 PWM servo drive series.

Accordingly, the new series aims to provide customers with a high-performance, cost-competitive option. Thus, the XA4 series now includes single-, dual- and quad-axis configurations. These compact, economical solutions offer a high performance-to-price ratio while reducing overall system costs.

Daniel Hong, Controls Product Manager at Aerotech, said, “New Automation1 XA4 servo drive series ordering options make it possible for even more machine builders to unlock the power of precision.” In addition, Hong said, “These compact, streamlined, economical PWM drives save precious panel space and offer a high-value and high-performing panel mount drive option.”

Features of Expanded Options

Improved In-position Jitter 

The XA4 servo drive series delivers exceptional performance with a 10kHz servo loop update rate. Thus, ensuring improved in-position jitter and overall system performance.

Panel space saver 

Available in both AC and DC versions, the XA4 series is purpose-built for saving panel space. Moreover, the XA4-AC version uses up to 72% less panel space compared to four XC4 panel mount drives. Furthermore, the XA4-DC version uses up to 27% less panel space compared to four XC2 panel mount drives.

Versatile ordering options 

The XA4 series introduces several new ordering options to meet diverse customer needs. These include 4-axis configuration, direct current power supply option, standard I/O expansion and high-density I/O expansion.

Seamless integration and compatibility

The XA4 servo drives are perfect for ball screws, BM, BMS or third-party motors. Therefore, offering flexibility and ease of integration across various applications. The drives support up to 340 VDC and 10/20 A peak current.

I/O expansion board options 

Two new I/O expansion board options are available, giving customers up to 32 digital inputs/outputs plus 5V/GND pins, an auxiliary encoder, sync ports and more.
