The ihXT servo motors of AMK come with inverter and only what is essential for precise servo control. With its new ihXT series, AMK is expanding its AMKASMART decentralized product family to include a full-value servo drive with a power range of 150 to 450 watts. In so doing, only the outside appearances are economical: the most compact dimensions, the elimination of expensive connectors, and cutting of the installation effort in half through hybrid cables show that it pays to concentrate on the essentials during product development. The new addition to the family will be presented for the first time at SPS IPC Drives.
Functionally speaking, the combination of a synchronous servo motor and servo inverter is behind the ihXT type within the AMK AMKASMART family. The power and dimensions of these compact drives are primarily tailored to tasks in packaging machines, woodworking centers, bottling systems, and assembly and handling systems. Typical applications are positioning tasks with high precision and low power consumption. Because the connector costs for low-power drives are disproportionately high, AMK is using a clever plug-in terminal connection for connection of the units in IP65.
