Next generation servo inverters
2nd Quarter 2016
Shaft power components
Bonfiglioli has launched a new servo inverter series, ANG Active Next Generation, to complement its range of gear-motors, drive systems and planetary gearboxes. This offers enhanced performance for machine builders. With this new servo inverter series, Bonfiglioli can deliver broader connectivity than ever before with the most advanced control technology available and the highest power density.
Bonfiglioli developed the ANG Active Next Generation series to meet the requirements of special machinery in a large range of industries. One feature in particular is a new positioning configuration, which is designed for travelling drives in crane applications. With a new micro controller, several other enhanced functionalities are embedded in the ANG Active Next Generation, including cyclic synchronous positioning mode with cubic interpolation, brake control and evaluation of feedback contact. Moreover, the new single axis for the control of servo motors, induction motors and synchronous reluctance motors delivers high dynamic response, high performance and application versatility.
The ANG series is available with 400 V, 525 V and 690 V voltage ratings, and power ratings from 0,25 to 400 kW. It is SIL2 certified and supports a range of Ethernet fieldbuses, including EtherCat, Ethernet IP, CanOpen and Profinet.
