Plug-and-play servos
Servomotors promising shorter machine cycles due to higher dynamic response are the latest additions to the 1FT7 family from Siemens Industry Inc. (Elk Grove Village, IL). Another plus is less downtime resulting from the new rigid vibration-insulated encoder mounting. This design also enables the user to exchange the encoder in the field in less than 5 minutes, without encoder alignment. High-resolution encoders, currently up to 22-bit, enable these servos to become highly precise motion control system components.

Drive-Cliq, the Siemens electronic nameplate and digital encoder interface on the new servomotors, also simplifies startup or replacement by not requiring manual parameterization of the axis, as the drive reads all that data from the electronic nameplate stored in the encoder system. With this feature, these motors become essentially plug-and-play devices. Forced ventilated and water-cooled types are also now available. —[email protected]
