ACOPOS P3

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

With the ACOPOS P3, B&R is setting new standards for motion control. This 3-axis servo drive offers a power density of 4 amps per liter, making it one of the most efficient servo drives with integrated safety functions on the market. It also offers unrivaled dynamics and precision, with a sampling time of just 50 µs for the entire controller cascade.

More than ever before, machine and system manufacturers are being confronted with demands for increased productivity and availability. At the same time, pressure is constantly building to reduce the manufacturing costs for production machines. The new servo drive generation from B&R was designed to meet these challenges.

69% smaller footprint with maximum power density

The ACOPOS P3 is offered as a 1-, 2- or 3-axis drive and covers a power spectrum ranging from 0.6 to 18 kW, or 1.6 to 44 amps. With a housing as compact as a conventional 1-axis drive, the 3-axis drive reduces cabinet space requirements by 69%.

Intelligent motion control for superior performance

A new dimension in virtual sensing

With a short cycle time of 50 µs for current, speed and position control, the ACOPOS P3 opens up new opportunities for advanced motion control. For highly dynamic and precise processes like those in the printing and packaging industries, extremely fast movements must be controlled with absolute precision. With the short cycle times of the ACOPOS P3 and the bandwidth and precision of the POWERLINK real-time Ethernet network, this is no problem.

Increased productivity

To strike a balance between increased productivity and decreased energy consumption with a smaller footprint, machine manufacturers are shifting to lightweight construction. This reduces the masses being moved – and thus the moment of inertia – in addition to making the machines less rigid and more elastic. Virtual sensing makes it possible to control these elastic systems while retaining a high level of quality without having to use additional position sensors at the process intervention point.

Encoderless control

The ability to use virtual position encoders eliminates the need for a position encoder, cable and evaluation unit in the servo drive, reducing the number of components while increasing availability at the same time.

It is used in Printing, Packaging Industry.
