Omron Industrial Automation now offers a complete line of compact Accurax G5 Servo Drives with built-in EtherCAT communications to meet the growing need for high-speed, precise motion control as part of complete machine automation. The full line of Accurax G5 servo drives has been certified for compatibility by the EtherCAT Technology Group. The EtherCAT real-time I/O network was selected by Omron Industrial Automation as its motion and I/O fieldbus of choice because it enables a seamless convergence of sequence control, motion control with servo and variable frequency drives, vision inspection, and high-speed I/O.
The Accurax G5 Servo system provides machine builders with simple-to-use capabilities to create faster, more accurate, smaller, and safer machines. The G5 servo motors have been scaled to provide an almost 25 percent reduction in motor weight, with side-by-side mounting of G5 servo drives saving up to 50 percent of cabinet space. In combination, they deliver submicron precision and millisecond settling time at a fraction of the panel or enclosure cost.
