Motion Control – Servo Drive for Harsh Environments!

SERVO DRIVES THAT WITHSTAND THE ELEMENTS AND PUSH BOUNDARIES

Vaughan, Ontario, Canada — Motion Control – Advanced Motion Controls (AMC), a leading provider of servo amplifier solutions, is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro® line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro® line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions. That’s why AMC offers off-the-shelf extended environment servo drives within the FlexPro™, DigiFlex® Performance™, and AxCent™ drive families, as well as custom-made modified servo drives to handle extreme conditions.
