Oriental Motor, a leader in precision drive technology, has announced the launch of the AZX Series, an advanced range of high-precision servo motors. The AZX Series promises unparalleled performance and flexibility, catering to a wide range of industrial applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
The AZX Series is designed to offer the precision and reliability of advanced servo motors. With superior control and feedback features, the AZX Series is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise movement and high torque at high speeds. This makes it perfect for demanding industrial environments where accuracy and performance are critical.
Key Features of the AZX Series include:
• Battery-free absolute encoder: the AZX Series is equipped with Oriental Motor’s patented ABZO sensor, a mechanical-type multi-turn absolute sensor that retains positioning information even when powered off. This eliminates the need for external sensors and batteries, reducing maintenance and operational costs.
• High torque and speed: the AZX motors deliver high torque at high speeds, making them suitable for positioning applications with extensive travel, such as ball screw or belt driven applications. The motors achieve superior performance in the high-speed range compared to conventional models.
• Ease of integration: the AZX Series maintains the same basic operations as the existing AZ Series, allowing for seamless integration into existing systems. This compatibility extends to network-compatible drivers that support EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and ProfiNET, simplifying wiring and reducing installation errors.
• Enhanced positioning and control: the AZX motors feature built-in positioning operation functions and various sequence capabilities, which can be configured using the MEXE02 support software. This simplifies the programming and enhances the operational flexibility of the host system.
Applications and benefits include the fact that the AZX Series is designed for long-term reliability without the need for complex tuning. This makes it ideal for diverse applications across industries such as medical, automotive, and food processing.
It’s also a very cost-effective solution. By eliminating the need for batteries and reducing wiring requirements, the AZX Series offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional servo and stepper motors. Last but not least, following the kaizen principle of continuous improvement the AZX Series reflects Oriental Motor’s commitment to innovation and quality in precision drive technology.
Pierce Ferris, UK Divisional Manager at Oriental Motor, comments: “The launch of the AZX Series is a significant milestone for us. It provides our customers with enhanced flexibility and performance, allowing design engineers the option to utilise both stepper and servo technologies. The battery-free design and high torque capabilities at high speeds make it a versatile and cost-effective choice for a wide range of applications.”
