ELAU has become an essential part of Schneider Electric Automation. This creates a considerable advantage for users of the PacDrive technology: PacDrive is not longer a stand alone offer, but a part of MachineStruxure. Beyond that, PacDrive is now a well supported technology of a globally active company with more than 100.000 employees in more than 100 countries of the world.

The iPOS4810 MZ-CAT-STO intelligent drives is a plug-in cost-effective, compact, modular solution for the control of rotary or linear brushless, DC brush, and step motors of powers up to 480 W, with 48 V nominal voltage.
The drive is mostly suited for embarked applications where it can be placed near the motor, in compact mechatronic assemblies where space and weight are critical.

TECHNOSOFT is pleased to inform all its partners that selected products of the iPOS servo drive family now benefit from the certification for the STO (Safe Torque Off) capability.

As part of the company’s effort to continually improve our product offering while meeting market demands for integrated safety, TECHNOSOFT can now propose two versions of the iPOS4808 MY family that benefit from a high degree of performance from the STO implementation point of view : SIL3 and PLe in accordance with the EN 61800-5-2 standard.

The Safe Torque Off function safely validates the pulses controlling the power stage of the drive. When activated, the drive is reliably torque-free. This state is monitored internally in the drive.

Sigma-7: Created with the design concept of “seven ultimate e-motional solutions,” the Σ-7 series delivers the world’s highest performance while providing other features such as further improvements in safety and an environmentally friendly design to meet the changing needs of its users. This series offers solutions that are guaranteed to satisfy users in all kinds of scenarios in the life-cycle of systems.

Sigma-V: The Σ-V series boasts the industry’s highest speed response (1.6 kHz) and control stability to enable positioning to be conducted at short intervals and a high level of accuracy. When combined with a rotary servomotor or linear servomotor that achieves a maximum motor speed of 6000 min-1, the Σ-V series can derive the utmost from the performance of machines. This easy-to-use servo series offers significant reductions in the time required for startup, servo adjustments, and troubleshooting.

Sigma-S: Although compact and low-priced, the Σ-S-Series Servos also provide real servo capabilities.
They provide the capabilities of positioning servos that are ideal for converting pneumatic equipment to Servomotors.
If you thought a servo system could not handle your application, think again and try the Σ-S Series.
