Parker Enhances Compax3 Servo Drives

Go to company's web site

Rohnert Park, CA, April 7, 2007 - Parker announces the addition of four new high-current power levels to its Compax3 family of industrial high-performance, all-digital servo drives. Now available with up to 75kW of output power, the Compax3 series will satisfy the demand for both high- and low-power drives within the same family. This is especially beneficial in the material forming, material handling and printing and converting markets, where the demand for a large power range is most prevalent. Customers save time and reduce their investment by selecting Parker as their single source for a comprehensive selection of servo drives.

The C3H has four output currents: 50, 90, 125 and 155 Amps RMS. All these have an input voltage range of 350VAC to 528VAC. These drives are capable of controlling both synchronous and asynchronous motors for added flexibility.

The new Compax3 drives contain all the same features and benefits as their lower-powered siblings. These time- and cost-saving features include auto-tuning, internal function generator on all units, support for Stegmann single- and multi-turn absolute encoders to dispense with limit switches and homing routines, many control levels and industry standard fieldbus protocols, including DeviceNet, to fit any application. Also included are special software function modules for torque/force control used in many types of material forming applications. These modules allow the user to switch from position control to torque/force control on the fly.

All Compax3 drives ship with the feature-packed Compax3 ServoManager software package for commissioning the drive. The ServoManger program provides easy and intuitive diagnostic screens, graphical tuning utilities, an OS download tool, an s-curve acceleration calculator, and a motor configuration wizard to be used with non-Parker motors. The ServoManager package is provided free of charge and may be downloaded from the Parker Electromechanical Automation Web site. Also available at parkermotion.com is a complete video training tutorial for ServoManager.

The "Compax3 Video Training Series" steps the user from beginning to end of commissioning the Compax3. There is a series for the drive-only (I10T10) =units, a series for the indexers (I11T11), and a series for the advanced indexers (I12T11). A single series can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.
