The simplicity of pneumatics is now combined for the first time with the advantages of electric automation thanks to the Simplified Motion Series. These integrated drives are the perfect solution for all users who are looking for an electric alternative for very simple movement tasks but don’t want the commissioning process for traditional electric drive systems that can often be quite complex. There is no need for any software since the operation is simply based on the “plug and work” principle. Digital I/O (DIO) and IO-Link® are always automatically included – a product with two types of control as standard.
Overview of the Simplified Motion Series
The Simplified Motion Series consists of different linear and rotary electromechanical components together with a simple and application-optimized combination of motor and servo drive, the so-called integrated drive. With this solution, there is no need for external servo drives or a control cabinet for installation, because the Simplified Motion Series is mounted directly in the machine. The electric alternative for very simple movement and positioning tasks between two mechanical end positions doesn’t require the usual commissioning process for traditional electric drive systems that can often be quite complex. It also offers special motion characteristics such as gently cushioned travel into the end position or simplified press-fitting and clamping functions. In addition, the end-position feedback is integrated as standard so that no external sensors are required
Highlights:
- Operation without any software based on the plug and work principle
- Easy wiring, commissioning, and operation
- Connection via IO-Link for enhanced functionality including diagnostics
- Movements include end-to-end positioning, pressing and clamping
- Each SMS axis consists of an electromechanical actuator mounted to an integrated motor to reduce set-up time and cabinet space requirements
- Wide range of actuator families with linear and rotary options, precision and dynamic options, precision, and dynamic options, and short or long stroke variants that can meet a diverse set of application needs
