    The AMKASMART line now includes distributed servodrives that feature a servocontroller with power supply

    The AMKASMART line now includes distributed servodrives that feature a servocontroller with power supply. The iC servodrives are suitable for single-axis machines and modular plant and machine configurations. The servodrives eliminate the need for a central switch cabinet usually used in modular machines

    The compact device is designed for closed-loop control of servomotors up to 10-kW peak power.

    Depending on performance requirements, various cooling concepts can be used, including convection cooling, an integrated fan, or cold-plate installation. If several axes are operated, the ac/dc power supply can be looped through.
