SEW-Eurodrive Smart Servo Package

SEW-Eurodrive has launched a Smart Servo Package designed to make a servomotor drive automation task simpler and faster to implement. The offering contains all necessary components for a complete automation solution in a coordinated package.

The Smart Servo Package comprises programmable or purely configurable SEW controllers, flexible servo universal inverters, dynamic servomotors close coupled to optional compact servo gear units and ready-to-use accessories. It has been specifically optimised to suit most application criteria in the power range up to 1.5 kW and in the voltage range of 1 x 230 VAC.

The package will enable the creation of purely programmable or graphically configurable automation solutions. The use of a graphic configuration wizard to enter all axis-to-axis relationships and preconfigure application properties removes the need for time-consuming programming. This, combined with diagnostic tools, helps to accelerate the commissioning and start-up process as well as facilitate drive monitoring and troubleshooting.

The Smart Servo Package is underpinned by the introduction of a universal servo inverter - the Movitrac LTX. This single-phase servomotor controller covers a power density up to 1.5 kW. The result is a universally deployable inverter with necessary motion control functions, high power density and simple operation.

The standard Smart Servo Package includes SEW-Eurodrive’s CMP servomotors combined with the Movitrac LTX and prefabricated cables. Extensions to the package can include a Movi-PLC, CCU, gateway and/or SEW’s range of servo or 7 series gear units. The system supports connection to industrial fieldbus-based communications systems via the SEW-Eurodrive range of gateways or programmable controllers.
