The high-performance three-phase AC drives allow users to integrate large AC induction motors into the POWERLINK control network. The motor manufacturer has extended its MotiFlex e100 drive series, adding three versions rated for continuous currents from 21.5 to 33.5 A. Developers can now choose from single-phase and three-phase drives, small panel-mounting machine controllers and large multi-axis systems. Baldor’s range of POWERLINK-compatible single- and three-phase drives gives industrial system builders the platform to make their machinery more efficient and cost effective. Plug-in machine controllers, which can be programmed with Baldor's Mint motion language, enable the drives to act as standalone units capable of executing complex functions.
