New AC stepper drives provide boost to industrial automation

Efficiency, ease of use and reliability are among the key requirements for many of today’s motion control applications, and the SRXAC series is an example of MOONS’ commitment to developing drives and motors which help enhance productivity, whilst maintaining high quality.

Key features and benefits
Designed to meet the increasing demands and challenges of factory automation, logistics and other similar industry applications, these AC pulsed stepper
drivers offer important features and benefits. 

For example, versatile voltage support ensures single-phase 85-265V AC input with maximum current options of 4.5A, 8A and 12A. This means they are ideally suited to a wide range of applications which demand various torque requirements. 

Additional features combine to provide a user-friendly configuration; for example, a Type-C interface which helps to simplify tuning, a 16-bit motor selector which enables easy matching
and a 12-bit DIP switch for motor current interpolation with anti-resonance functions. 

Additionally, they meet the demand for enhanced performance because they offer higher continuous torque output at up to 1,200rpm, which significantly surpasses the performance of 750W servo motors in low-speed applications, helping to improve factory production line efficiency and stability.

Simple set-up plus safety enhancements
The configuration process has been streamlined allowing quick set-up of
parameters such as sub-division, speed, running current and idle current via a 16-bit DIP code.

For customised settings, users can connect through the Type-C interface to modify and save parameters using MOONS’ configuration software.

Diverse control modes
The SRXAC series supports both pulse (-S) and speed (-V) modes offering users flexible control methods to suit a wide range of application needs. 

The speed mode increases the options for
acceleration/deceleration and can also be tailored through software adjustments.

Typical applications
To meet the latest trends, the SRXAC series is designed for applications requiring low control accuracy and high torque at low speeds, so will excel in factory assembly lines, logistics conveyor belts, the food industry, and many more. 

The features and benefits of this new generation of AC stepping pulse drives elevate the possibilities of industrial automation and help to propel innovations into developing new and improved manufacturing solutions.
