AutomationDirect <i>Sure</i>Servo AC Servo Systems
Do you need precise control of position, velocity and torque at an incredible price?Check out our SureServo AC Servo Systems: 3 standard drives, 8 standard motors...100W to 3kWNEW! SureServo - AC Servo Systems The AutomationDirectSureServo family of brushless servo systems is fully digital and offers a rich set of features to cover a broad range of applications. There are eight standard servo motors that can be operated in combination with one of three standard servo drives. The servo drives can be configured for a range of command sources including analog torque, analog velocity, "step & direction" or "up & down" pulse position, quadrature encoder follower, and built-in motion controller with preset position, velocity, or torque. Presets can be selected with switch inputs or modified with the MODBUS serial interface. Configuration and diagnostics of the servo drives can be accomplished with the integrated keypad/display or the easy-to-use PC-based software called SureServo Pro. The SureServo brushless motors include a 2500 line incremental encoder with quadrature data signals (A+, A-, B+, B-) and a marker pulse (Z+, Z-). All three signals have a line driver output resulting in 10,000 pulses per revolution plus index mark as the standard resolution inside the drive. Each servo motor also has one connector for the encoder and another connector for the motor power and optional 24 VDC spring-set holding brake. The SureServo family includes standard accessories such as motor encoder cables, motor power/brake cables, ZIPLink kit for drive's CN1 connector that provides for easy connection of external controller and I/O, optional external regeneration resistors, and optional AC input filters.

Each of the eight standard systems has a torque-speed curve including the motor inertia for reference. This is the fundamental information that you need to select the servo drive and matching motor for your application. Included in the ordering guide are the available connection cables from the drive to the motor in standard lengths of 10, 20, 30 and 60 feet. The break-out board kit including 0.5 m (19 inch) cable for the CN1 user interface is listed for your convenience. All cables are 100% factory tested to make your system installation as easy and quick as possible. See the Servo System "Accessories" section on our Web site for regeneration resistors, AC line filters, fuses, contactors, and RF noise filters. We highly recommend that you order all five of the following items per system as a minimum:
1. A Servo Drive
2. A Servo Motor
3. A Motor Power Cable
4. A Motor Encoder Cable
5. A ZIPLink Cable Kit (order part no. ASD-BM-50A, which works with all SureServo systems) Why Use A Servo? (vs. Using a lower cost stepping system) The SureServo AC servo systems provide the highest possible level of performance for precise control of position, velocity, and torque. As compared to lower cost stepping systems, the AC servo products provide:
More torque at higher speeds (up to 5,000 rpm )
Broader range & higher power (up to 3kW)
Higher response with closed-loop control (high hit rate without stalling or lost position)
Torque control SureServo Tuning Technology The SureServo drive closes the loop on current, velocity, and position (depending on control mode selection). Proportional gain, integral gain, feedforward compensation, command low pass filter, and notch filter for resonance suppression are available. There are three tuning modes:
1. "Manual Mode" for user-defined adjustments
2. "Easy Mode" for default settings over a wide range of programmed inertia with 10 response levels
3. "Auto Mode" for automatic adjustment using an estimated (or measured) value of inertia SureServo Built-In Motion Controller While the SureServo drives can accept traditional commands from outside host controls, the drives also have the ability to provide for their own motion control using the integrated indexer. For example, up to eight index moves can be pre-defined and stored in the drive and then selected and executed using switch inputs. The pre-defined indexes can also be changed using the serial communication protocol. The motion can be incremental or absolute (homing routines are available in the drive) and acceleration can be linear or S-curve. Multiple drives can be daisy-chained and addressed separately using the RS-485 capability of the drive's serial port. This allows for very simple yet powerful control of multi-axis processes that do not need precise path control but only precise starting and stopping points. Typical applications include: press feeds, auger fillers, rotary tables, robots for pick and place, test or assembly operations, boring, drilling, cutting, tapping, and similar applications using simple index moves for single or multi-axis motion.
