Galil Announces 750 Watt Servo Drives for DMC-40x0 and DMC-41x3 Controllers

Galil is pleased to introduce the AMP-43240, a 4-axis, higher power servo drive. The new 750 Watt drive operates at 10A continuous, 20A peak at up to 80 VDC per axis. The 4-axis drive resides inside the DMC-4040 Accelera or DMC- 4143 Econo 4-axis motion controller enclosure. Two 4-axis drives can be installed in the DMC-4080 or DMC-4183 8-axis controller package. The packaging of the multi-axis drives with the controller saves cost, space and wiring. The new AMP-43240 provides 50% more power than Galil's AMP-43040 500 Watt drive, making it a good choice to drive larger servo motors. For applications requiring even more power, Galil controllers can be used with external drives of any power range. The AMP-43240 resides inside the DMC-40x0 or DMC-41x3 enclosure and contains four transconductance, PWM amplifiers for driving brushless or brush-type servo motors. Each amplifier drives motors operating at up to 10 Amps continuous, 20 Amps peak, 20-80 VDC. The gain settings of the amplifier are user-programmable at 0.5 Amp/Volt, 1 Amp/Volt and 2 Amp/Volt. The switching frequency is 24 KHz. The drive operates in chopper mode. The amplifier offers protection for over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, short-circuit and over-temperature. A shunt regulator option is available. Galil's AMP-43240 drives are available for shipment now to qualified BETA sites. Full release is scheduled for March 1, 2011.
